Northerner , I wish there was something we could do to help , so many people in similar situations, I think the suddenness of this has hit people mentally as well as financially,and ever other way.
i had paid for events in advance too .....I can’t go to the pool now and pay a lot of money up front !
seaspirit , pleased you are feeling better .
i am amazed at the selfishness shown on the media this am , a fight in a supermarket over bottled water ?? Don’t they have taps ?the queues outside my local supermarket were all up the road before they even opened yesterday .....no new cases in the area of China where it started for 3 days , seems to be getting better after less than 2 months ....I cling to that hope ! We all need hope !
best wishes to all .....x
The work situation is devastating for so many . Supermarkets want people to turn up with evidence of NI and ID and are hiring on the spot. Only temporary jobs for 4 weeks initially but might help some out .
if anyone in Swansea need a pack of loo rolls I have a spare pack. Not great quality as all I could get but as my hubby was with me we could have a pack each .
Hi all signal really poor so currently sat in lay-by near Rheghed lol
Sorry for dumping thoughts last night might do us all good to do same .
Similar mood to beginning of cancer don’t like the waiting will feel better once I know next announcement . Hope everyone ok

Aww,Northerner...no need to apologise.You are mirroring how we all feel at the mo.I find it best to not think about it too much,I think the Government will come up with financial assistance ,I think they will have to.I am already getting nearer to my neighbours.The man upstairs is dying of cancer I heard the other day,and so am thinking how to help him as he is not answering door unless he knows the voice as he self isolating.(I tried yest,but in end got another man to deliver him a package of stuff.Two people in my block who weren’t speaking have broken the ice.I don’t think we have to go far to help .
those trying to get there money back on tickets etc.I think if we wait until the Government make it law to close these places,they will be procrastinating.Once they do,insurance may come in and if we are told to not go,then we would probably have to have recompence.
those with asthma,I saw a Doctor advising people with asthma to start their anti-allergic tablets now,to give time to build up.Thats what I am doing anyway,as get a pollen reaction.
please correct me if I am wrong,and I dont want to “teach Granny to suck eggs”...so if I have please forgive,am only trying to help with all I know.
Alsonot trying to be boost-ish....as Boris would say...but I am going to make a scrap book with the nice things in the day like my sister is.
I recognise the situation people are in is becoming a sort of collective fear...and I got so frightened,but my sister said the above..lots love,V xxxx

Just popping on to say goodnight! Feeling a bit blue after seeing the news tonight! I’m feeling sad for all those people that have already lost their lives to this disease. I’m feeling angry at those people who keep saying we are ‘overreacting’! Maybe they should tell the Doctors and nurses that! Or maybe the loved ones who are left mourning their husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters or friends!
It’s time for EVERYONE to start taking this seriously and to play their part in helping us to get through the coming days, weeks or months! We can only beat this if we pull together, look out for each other and work as a team!
Sorry Fruit Loops, just feeling emotional tonight! But I know feeling down isn’t going to help. So that’s my off loading done for a bit. Now to........
Thanks for listening My lovely friends.
Night night Fruit Loops. Sleep well my friends! Xxxxxxxx
