anubis

I am teetotal but my husband used to have 1 can of beer at night but since this all started he rarely has one

personally even though I am fully vaccinated I will be even more careful after safety measures are left to peoples common sense, a lot are ignoring the rules already anyway so after the 19th it will be back to worse than normal it will be the devil take the hindmost it can`t hurt me attitude. Good Luck with that

beautiful

would love the double be fantastic

With confirmed cases rising rapidly, hospital admissions rising, and the general public asked to use their common sense its only a matter of time before its out of control again and new variants start avoiding the vaccine so I intend to continue wearing a mask, avoiding crowds and washing my hands not taking any chances. Freedom is ok as long as it doesn`t kill you

I really don`t think its any of our business and i would assume she is in his bubble and has no bearing on how he does his job. As for breaking Covid rules he certainly isn`t the first and some got away with much worse like Mr Cummings. You only have to walk into a shop to see much worse every day by people who put many at risk and not because of anything our MP`s have done. After the year and stress he has had I find it understandable now he has to deal with more stress and my thoughts are with his family who will be suffering too. Everyone has free will we are all responsible for our own safety like I was told as a child " if he wants to jump off a cliff you don`t have to follow " .

I know this is a difficult subject I am absolutely in favour of freedom of choice but I feel all health care, support workers and carers need to be protected to care safely not only for the elderly, sick and vulnerable patients but to protect themselves and their families

restocking my garden would love these

I stopped smoking 10 years ago after developing COPD if this ban saves just one person from developing lung disease I am for it

I so need new clothes sigh

I have always done what shopping I could in the village and not been in a supermarket since February 2020 or online food deliveries.

I am not ready to trust indoors for hours with strangers yet even though I have had both doses of vaccine. It will be a while before I am ready to mix much after shielding for a year I still follow my routines better safe than sorry

Cash is still needed not all small shops take card payments and they kept us going through lock down. Not everyone has a card account with chip and pin. My butcher has amazing meat but only accepts cash, the greengrocer and my window cleaner only takes cash. A lot of elderly and disabled people find cash easier so it is a really important method of payment.

Personally I don`t trust technology that allows you to lose concentration and let go of the wheel, glancing away while in the car if you need to regain control that adds to the response time to a danger. Also if the system breaks down or has a glich I like to be in control of my car.

Brilliantly put, been there done that bought the tee shirt lol, 29 years on still get night sweats not always a bad thing this weather.

This something I feel strongly about I think before we start even contemplating what happens to replaced pets maybe responsible pet ownership should be the way to go, neutering of cats and dogs to prevent unwanted litters being produced. Puppy farms closed down. I have a cat and dog both family not pets, both neutered and well controlled. They create much less waste and no litter like many humans do, they don`t fill the oceans with plastic or the streets with discarded bottles, tins cigarette ends, food and wrappings, used masks they don`t fly tip or start fires with discarded bbq`s. Lets not forget what they provide us with, companionship, during lock down they were invaluable giving a reason to exercise, for me a reason to get out of bed some days and they were here long before humans.

His travels are amazing

would be ideal for my husband

sounds amazing really need this for my husband

lovely prize

I can`t see a problem with carrying proof of vaccination especially with festivals taking place and night clubs opening not that I will be attending either, I will be happy to just go shopping. If you go abroad you need vaccinations already, youngsters need proof of age, we all need to prove our identity, address and marital status every day this is no different. People who can`t have it could also have proof of that, its your choice have it or not hopefully those who choose not will have the option to be tested regularly and not holiday or work abroad unless they quarantine, again their choice.

don`t care what time just want it done

I do find it worrying that we won`t be fully protected for longer but some protection for more people is better than none I suppose. But I do think going against the people who made it and know its limitations in the mad dash to get the vaccine out could prove to be a big mistake with people needing catch up doses and lengthening the process. Being in my 70`s with COPD and numerous other health issues that look bad on paper I have survived by shielding for almost a year with the support of my wonderful children keeping us supplied with food it will be the end of February before I am in line for any vaccine. I have been told it won`t stop me catching covid but hopefully prevent serious illness so vaccine or not it won`t change a lot for me

brilliant prize would be really helpful had no help in the house since covid started, good luck all

love books have really missed browsing in book shops

you hit the nail on the head along with my family we will do our celebrating hopefully in the summer

I know how much everyone is desperate to see family, this year my daughter and my grandaughter both had babies that I long to hold. I so miss the sleep overs and hugs with my other cherished grandchildren. However after almost a year of virtual isolation with my wonderful family doing doorstep drop off`s of food and essentials, opening mail in gloves and isolating the contents, taking extraordinary care when going for appointments we are in sight of a vaccine. The virus will not take 5 days off from spreading, infecting and killing just because its Christmas, On Christmas Morning I will don my mask, face shield and disposable gloves and drive to deliver presents to the doorstep and wave to my grandchildren from a safe distance before returning home to cook lunch for 3 instead of the usual 14. Hopefully in spring or summer we will safely have a huge family get together celebrate all the missed birthdays, births and Christmas and appreciate everyone with hugs and kisses denied to us for so long. Wishing everyone however you decide to celebrate a very Happy and Safe Christmas

worth a try lots of wild birds to feed this winter

I am in the 4th slot and will certainly accept when offered the vaccine hopefully it will be rolled out soon

We won`t be mixing over Christmas, Instead of cooking lunch for 14 on the day and 5 Boxing Day it will be just the 3 us, I will deliver presents for my grandchildren on the morning and wave to them from a safe distance. We have made it this far and so close to a vaccine its silly to throw away all the sacrifices we have made all year I look forward to a safe family gathering in the summer. I love them all dearly and its heartbreaking but I want to be around for walks on the beach and building sand castles next summer with them and so many safe hugs.

they look amazing

I am 72 with COPD and other health issues its my only way out of shielding I need to be here to care for my autistic grandson as long as possible and be here for all my family I will happily do anything that helps

Cash is still important, people like my window cleaner, hairdresser and small local shops and cafes in our village only take cash. They have kept us going for the last year and I for one will continue to support their efforts so will always need cash.

could really use these

would be lovely to win for my rescued fur baby

I would vote for but I would want safeguards in place to protect people from being coerced when in a vulnerable state of mind. I personally worry the decision may be forced on some without proper regulations in place

I usually cook Christmas lunch for a large part of the family and we have the day together and on Boxing more come for lunch but not this year no room to distance and just one could take us all down. I am hoping to have a huge second Christmas in June with tables outside in the sunshine all being well that is.

The only time I will drink tea is if they don`t have any coffee and don`t really like it. I went off tea when having my youngest daughter over 40 years ago and never changed back from coffee

I remember Ronald Regan and Nancy having to prompt him as his memory deteriorated need somebody younger who is on top of their game

As a vulnerable family we have basically been in lock down since the start so it will make no difference to us when the inevitable happens in our area. It is hard being cooped up and depending on family for shopping but with rising infection rates its the only way to go. Not how I envisaged spending my last few years but as a carer I need to be alive as long as possible to support my autistic grandson. Having many age related issues I know what my chances of surviving the virus are zero so I follow the rules
