If There's Another Lockdown ....

[Maydup]

If there's another lockdown, local or otherwise, what would you do or are doing differently this time round?

[dannyk13]

Yes, for some:-

Nothing differently for me,we are already under new measures and a full lockdown here wouldn't surprise me.

I feel for those worse affected.

[dannyk13]

I've been shielding since March and will continue to do until I am told it is safe not to.

Nothing really will carry on working from home, I am currently abroad so when we get back will just get back to the new normal

[sherrardk]

I’ll just carry on as before. Hope the school’s stay open in some form, the kids need some sort of routine (although the amount of time the things have to be outside for will see the younger ones dropping like flies with everyday coughs and colds). Shall worry myself stupid for boy #1 if his placements continue (although they need to for him to gain the skills he needs).

Nothing much, my sister and I have been behaving as if we are still in lockdown really anyway. It's more for other people though.

[woofgang]

people were not TOLD to shield last time and I doubt they will be told to shield next time if it happens. They were ADVISED to shield. There won't be changes for me either and if I get a personalised letter it will go in the bin. Doubt I will get one though.

Nothing different. Rural living gets you used to isolation. Not always enjoyable but at least you get used to it.

[tiggerblue10]

Nothing different although little Tigs is back at school which is the only change. I seem to be one of very few who wear a mask during the school runs so I'm reluctant to let my parents help out due to this. And I've heard of a few outbreaks in schools around the country.

[Maydup]

We live a fairly quiet isolated life in the countryside, although we have enjoyed being outside in the wonderful weather immensely.

I might stock up (not panic buy I hasten to add!) on some paints, some more jigsaw puzzles, a few books and DVDs for the winter. Just in case we are stuck in.

Also thinking of doubling up on store cupboard food and toiletries this week and putting them away as our winter supply. I'd have done that anyway, just doing it a bit earlier than usual. I might buy a few stamps too, and the sprouts of course. I know, they should have been on 3 weeks ago!

[bednobs]

maybe buy more bog roll and beans (and flour)

[pastafreak]

I'll be back to using online food shopping more. And going out a bit less. :(
I'll also stock up on a few things that may become harder to come by in a few months...food cupboard items and vitamin c.

[Maydup]

I've just bought 16 toilet rolls because I was down to my last 30!!

[Prudie]

Really nothing, apart from the first week I have been going into the office 3 days a week and would continue to do so. In fact the only thing different to normal was we didn't go out for dinner with the inlaws.

[iluvmargie]

Won't take any notice.

[Georgiesmum]

Just carry on the same as I am now, stay indoors and drink more tea!

[Theland]

I'll buy just three things. A big stock of toilet rolls, another big stock of toilet rolls, and finally, a great big stock of toilet rolls. Oh yes, some beans as well!

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Theland and others - have a look at my thread last night in the shopping category. Mine are ordered.

[Theland]

Will do.

I haven't done anything differently at all throughout all of this scaremongering. I have yet to wear a facemask. We all the victims of the modern day Canute, aka Boris Johnson, trying to stop the tide of Covid.
