My DD and family are in my 'bubble', I look after my GC one day a week and 1 of my granddaughters stays at mine a few days while school is closed and my DD working.

My question is, is it legal to have my DD and family at my house for a birthday meal for my DD?

I am confused. I mean everyone within the 'bubble' enters my house once week in any case. Help ....

Thank you in advance ....

Since LD2 we have reverted to having our DGS once a week and doing the school run for our DGD the same. But they are dropped off at the door and either collected from our door or we deliver them to theirs. Our DD and DSiL , who both work at local hospitals do not come in. It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Presents were left in my porch . We have not celebrated any birthdays together since last March. You can only do what you think best. There is no certainty that your DC are not incubating the disease or are asymptomatic. Whatever you do , remember to take care and take every precaution you can.

I thought you are allowed only one person from you bubble inside your house at any time! Plus do you really want the police knocking on your door.

That’s incorrect. And why on earth would the police be knocking on her door? A support bubble is treated as one household.

Serendipity only wanted to know if the birthday meal within her bubble is legal, and it is. Only she knows her family circumstances, so she can probably do her own risk assessment.

My bubble (just eldest son) celebrated my birthday with me yesterday and ordered a lovely ‘posh’ takeaway. This contact was no different than his usual weekly visit other than I normally do the cooking ?

I agree with the ones who say wait. I’ve never understood this bubble thing, if the bubblers go to work or out and about. Couldn’t they bring COVID to the vulnerable person?

I wouldn't.as they could bring the virus in from outside.

I am in a support bubble with my DD & family, we have been in each others houses throughout lockdowns, both DD & myself have to go shopping with all the necessary precautions

Last week I came out of Hospital after 11 days, non Covid admission. I was tested 4 times in that time, all tests were negative. Unfortunately whilst on the Ward 2 patients tested positive for Covid, I was not in any contact with them. My DD was allowed to bring me home wearing a mask & I had to sit in the back of the car behind the passenger seat with the windows open.

I am in self isolation for 14 days, DD does not have to self isolate, all information was from the Infection Control at the Hospital.

I have had District Nurses coming in every day to change dressings, I am not required to wear a mask as I am in my own home, they wear PPE. I sanitize door handles & anywhere else they may have touched once they've left.

I think you have to weigh up the risks for yourself & your family
