Not touched either other than buying fuel and driving to the supermarket twice a week plus one trip a week to the MIL's alternating which car we use. That is an 80 mile round trip ......
Have you, er, seen or heard (I believe it's been on the wireless) the news lately?
Have indeed seen the news and we are following the government restrictions:
Exercise - we are going out once a day trying to do about 4 miles on average.
Shopping - we go twice a week ensuring that we have enough to avoid the occational trip to the shops for bits we have forgotten. On one of the shopping trips we get the MIL's shopping.
Providing care for a vulnerable person - MIL is 93 and lives alone. Wife is her only relative other than the MIL's brother who is 87 and not exactly capable of caring for an additional person. She has refused help in the past from the local authority, they stopped visiting her 3 years ago when she told them to "F" off. Without the wifes weekly visit she would have no food, no clean bedding and towels (she does her own cloths), no one to order her prescriptions, no one to check on her various health issues and no food. She has no savings or property thus could only go into a local authority care home and there are very few of those. She was placed in a care home 4 years ago to get over a minor operation and after 3 weeks of refusing to eat the "muck" they fed her they sent her home, it very nearly killed her, she was 4 1/2 stone when the wife weighed her. Wife complained to the home and all they could say was it was her mothers decision not to eat.
We are following the guidelines to the letter.
If the Police want something to do they should be stopping the idiots racing on the bypass in their f***ing Range Rovers, Ibiza's, Focus's etc. Don't think theirs is "essential".
