Good to hear from you and glad you’re all ok. I think it’s hard for the powers that be to know what to do for the best as it’s such an unprecedented situation.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

A quick google seems to indicate that they can't become sick from this form of corona virus but I would imagine there is a still a small chance that they could have it on their fur, in the same way as it can survive a few hours on textiles. So there might be a small danger if a cat was near someone with an infection then went into Wannabe's garden and rubbed against anything there.beanielou said:Cats don't carry the virus

I think that was the consultants theory too cherry. Not only covid. But we cant risk her getting sick with anything else either to reduce the risk of needing to go to hospital. Once theres a gazebo up. It will be fully enclosed so step right out the back door into the gazebo but will still be outside/fresh air. Got to say I think we are all going a bit stir crazy and fed up of only having each other for conversation! Its definitely getting harder to keep everyone happy and occupied.
Hope you're all keeping well x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”7 -
Hi Hun, sorry I haven’t been in for a while. Lockdown is hard isn’t it, you’re doing so well though. I’ve been really struggling with just 2 hours of home schooling so you doing 4 is amazing! Keep being positive lovely. X5

Thank you missy. Not easy is it. I think now everyone seems to be getting back out and things it makes it even harder to be stuck in the house.

Hi WB Certain things do seem to be slowly getting back to normal or they soon will be, but I expect a lot of people will be wary of going out even if they can. I know I won't be heading to any high street shops, drive throughs or beaches for a good while. Are you working to the 12 week shielding they initially advised or do you have to stay in longer than that because of DD? Hope you manage to get the gazebo up soon. I expect DS is coming in handy now to help with things like that isn't he An outside 'room' to sit and play in will be nice for you all. Take care. xx 5

A gazebo sounds a great idea for you all to get a bit of fresh air. Just wondered if you have access to a paddling pool or anything for littlest or would the cold water be considered too much of a risk for her? My gdd has a small pool and all the dolls go in with her giving hours of water play fun.January spends - £587.586

Yes tea when we get the gazebo DS will definitely come in handy to help. Hes taller than me!
She would love a pool milann but we dont have one. We dont really have any outdoor toys. Or even anything to sit on/at. But just getting outside will be good. The weather today is amazing!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”8
