In the Mr M that I went to today there were about six people in each aisle which made it very difficult to socially distance, so I thought they'd let too many people in, or they should have had a one way system or something. I felt very unsafe

I don’t mind queuing outside it’s what happens when you get inside that concerns me. Our local Mr T Express has got the right idea only 4 customers at a time. I’ve read that the larger Mr Ts are introducing a one way system which is a good idea.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

It also concerns me that although I’m being careful by only going out when absolutely necessary DD is working at Mr M every day and could bring the virus home that way.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Morning all, hope everyone is well
Already managed to take the dog on the park, no one else there - bliss 😁 Obviously 7.15am is a good time to go. I think this will be my plan, any shopping or dog walking will have to be done at this time before everyone gets up. Mind you the dog wasn't over impressed as she doesn't normally get up until later. So a few steps on the FitBit to start off the day, Joe Wicks later then might try a Pilates class after work as a change from running.
Anyone else think this new way of shopping is like going back to caveman days and going out hunting and gathering, dragging whatever you can get hold of back to your cave 🤣 If you didn't laugh you'd cry.
Have a good day folks, stay safe xx

Hello XX
Walking the dogs at sunset seems to work here, anyone who is out is clearly thinking like me and avoids others. I am shopping tomorrow. In the afternoon. Fingers crossed.
Hope you have a good day XXXXNevertheless she persisted.6 -

The morning has just flown by in a haze of back to back meetings. Now on a brief break before they start up again.
Despite promising not to go up those steps at the bottom of the garden, I've noticed Mr SA has set himself a deckchair up there. In one ear and out of the other! No wonder I can't keep the floors clean in the house, he and the dog are constantly back and forth into the garden.
A work colleague's wife has been poorly with the suspected virus for 10 days and was just starting to pick up when she took a turn for the worse overnight and is being admitted to hospital. It's very frightening that for a lot of people it seems to be at the point they're feeling better it suddenly gets worse. I dread to think what the real figures of infected are as they're only counting the confirmed cases. Ugh 😒
