to be annoyed?!

The track and trace people - do they ring you/leave message, phone you or email you .

Can’t you get a test and if it’s negative carry on with your plans

That's exactly what I thought too, welbeck. Flaxseed, it's just one day, soon over. Here's hoping that you're well (far more important) and haven't been spreading the virus. Next year, we can make up for it!

but i thought tier 4 people were not allowed to meet others except in the open air for a walk.
doesn't actually make any difference to me, so i may have got the detail wrong, but i've just read a resume from the evening standard which seems to be saying that. only for support, or separated parents. not for leisure, social mingling. so would you have been able to go somewhere else for lunch anyway?

In a way, I am glad the plans had changed before this fiasco. At least my family have had time to go out and get supplies! (I am quarantining some food for them in the fridge in my shed!)

I think it’s genuine. It was a notification and when I checked my T&T app there it was with my countdown in days.
Grannynanny That’s what I thought! We are half way through the 10 day incubation period and I have only just been informed! I’ve been all over the place in that time

One of my Facebook friends posted the same yesterday but today he has decided it must have been a mistake!I wonder how many others have this attitude.

Flaxseed Are you sure it was a genuine message? I have heard that there are some sick bastards who send fake Track and Trace messages. That timing of 23.59 on Xmas Day sounds a bit suspiciously accurate to me. Is it meant to mean that your contact was at 23.59 on some other day?

I’m just thinking the track and trace system is performing poorly with you more than half way through your 10 day isolation period before you received the alert today Flaxseed.

I feel for you, missing your Christmas lunch and then working on Boxing Day as soon as you are out of isolation ?

grannyrebel7 I am working Boxing Day !

oopsadaisy They tell you a date which was no help really as I had been to a few places

I have some Zoom calls planned with my family and plenty of food and drink so will just have to make the best of it I guess!
It all started to go pear shaped when we entered tier 4 so this is the icing on the cake

That must feel like a low blow, hope it’s not too long before you are able to see them safely.

That is real bad luck Flaxseed Hope you haven't caught it.
Could you see your family on Boxing Day as Grannyrebel said.
Fingers crossed you are ok

I hope you stay covid free flaxeed and that you manage to muddle through as so many people will be doing this year. In lockdown 1, I didn't know people who had the virus. Currently, I know 7 people who tested positive plus about 20 who have had the virus in the past several weeks. Thankfully, most have recovered. Two of my neighbours weren't so lucky.

Keep safe every one.

Flaxseed do they tell you who or where you have been close to someone ? Or do they leave you to wonder.

Could you go on Boxing Day instead then?

Oh dear that’s really unfortunate timing Flaxseed. I hope you remain symptom free and also that you have food in the house.

Oh no, that’s dreadful news. Nothing I can say will make you feel any better, but I do hope that you will be able to see your family through the wonders of technology. Thinking of you ?
