    I think most of us on here will be qualifying for the vaccine when it comes along (myself included by then :o). Looks like plenty of milestone birthdays next year instead of weddings then :party2:

    Maybe it's just where I live then. There's still a lot of the awkward dancing in the streets as people try to avoid each other.

    In other news, one of June 21's weddings has just cancelled on me so...

    With the weather getting colder and the nights getting longer, I really am holding onto that glimmer of hope. Trust me, delivering shopping from 6am or until midnight depending on what shift I'm on...

    I hated being part time - it felt almost like being a weekend warrior in my book and I was well and truly ready for the full time fully being my own boss when the time came in April 2019.

    And then...

    Unlikely from this end. Having lived the dream for 11 short months and then seeing everything I'd worked for pulled out from under me with absolutely no backup from UKGOV, I'm not willing to take...

    I really wish I shared your optimism gentlemen.

    The vaccine(s) are good news (oh boy did I cheer when they made the announcement....even more so when I realised that by the time they get to my age...

    Couldn't agree more actually (especially if like me you don't even have to THINK about work before you get there and after you clock off).

    If I'm on a late shift, the hours are similar to an...

    Full time for me was brilliant Jim for the 11 months that I pulled it off.....it was the perfect work/life balance. She worked, I lived :)

    In all seriousness as the others that were/are full time...

    Tell me about it. I'm six months in and still can't get used to it.
    Give me a 5 day week any day. I'm normally on a 6 day rotation, and can start/end any time between 6am and 11pm (and there's no...

    Yes, it will....but in my brain cell, until there's some sort of clarification as to WHEN we're likely to be able to work again, it's just easier. It's :Censored: complicated to even try to explain...

    Sorry for the very late reply....been out (again) delivering online groceries until silly 'o' clock.

    It's a mental health thing unfortunately. 2020 has been a nightmare for me. It was SUPPOSED to...

    OK - my bad :(

    FINALLY got a reply this afternoon about changing the discretionary grant in my area (yeah....a whole WEEK after applications were closed - how convenient!). Apparently my local...

    Ok....it took a bit of doing but I finally got a response from my local MP :o

    I've emailed several times and only ever had a response from her Parliamentary Assistant. The last time I was very...

    I get the whole reopening of the economy thing, and think eventually it'll be out of the government's hands (until such time as it possibly flares up again when they turn around and say "we told you...

    Hmmm....just had a very interesting conversation with my mechanic whilst picking up the disco bus from it's MOT.
    He was under the assumption that because weddings were sort of going ahead and that...

    You forgot the “unprecedented level of support”

    Yeah...unless you’ve only been full time for 11 months 😡

    Personally I’ve taken to regularly writing to my MP. She might actually get round to answering me one day 😳

    They’ve been majorly unfair. Too many small businesses have fallen through the net for various reasons such as not trading long enough to qualify or not having rateable premises etc.

    That was my initial hope too. It's very unlikely though.

    I've now lost THREE of this year's reschedules, and after today's shock announcement I'm expecting the whole lot to come tumbling down...

    Same here sadly. I'm counting myself lucky that I managed to get a job before everyone else found out they were going to need one. With furlough rules changing....there's a lot of uncertainty coming...

    THIS is something I'm going to be looking at when/if things rotate back round to some kind of normal. In fact I'll be engaging a solicitor to advise/re-write my entire contract once I can afford to...

    Unfortunately at the moment, it's a case of playing ball and keeping the clients happy however possible, or facing a roasting on social media which is going to kill your reputation.

    I try to be the optimist (Gawd knows reality hit me at 4:30 this morning when I was woken up to go and drive a lorry on just above minimum wage so I need something to look forward to).
