Welcome to week eleventy-twelve of lockdown.
This is the week we can start applying for our self employed grant. Doesn’t it seem a long time ago that we were told what we would be able to claim for? How many of us grumbled at how long we were having to wait, then all of a sudden it’s here. The weeks have just flown by! I can claim from Thursday so hopefully any initial glitches will have been fixed by then :thumbsup:
Hopefully today we’ll get more clarification on the plans for easing lockdown. I know last night’s announcement was a bit vague, but that seems to be how it’s done - give an overview in the televised broadcast then publish more in-depth guidance afterwards. Last night my Facebook newsfeed was full of concern about sending children back to school, so I do think there will need to be a lot of clarification on that point.
I have to admit I had a little wobble over it all last night. I’ve been happy enough in my own little bubble, plodding along at home with the family, waiting for it to be safe to get back to some degree of normal. Then last night it hit me that this isn’t going away and we’re not going to get to a point where it’s safe to go out again. We’re just waiting to be told it’s safe enough...and that’s not quite the same. I don’t want to get it so I know I won’t feel at ease until they come up with a vaccine.
Anyway, has anyone got any nice plans for this week? The weather doesn’t seem as good as it has been so I’ll be looking for jobs to do indoors. There are still plenty on my to-do list :blush::laughing:
