In tier 3 here, been to supermarket early this morning. I've had grandchildren overnight.... we are in a household support bubble, daughter single parent and I'm on my own. Daughter was working last night and again tonight. Taking dgc for a walk later, definitely need some fresh air, I've been working in an office all week.... NHS Admin so have worked throughout.

Day 1 in Tier 2 - what are your plans for the day?
(94 Posts)I'm determined to get off to a positive start! Yesterday for the first time in a long time I didn't go out - just faffed around and ate.
I'm off soon for a 60-minute brisk walk with my friend but due to the new rules won't be able to have our planned lunch.
What are you up to?
Typo “we’re’
Count your blessings you lucky tier 2 people, were in 3!
I'm distraught as DGDs are from today in tier2 area .We dashed back from holiday in york area to see them after school last night .Oldest DGD is very close to me and is very upset .My DD is adamant we are banished ! Her Mil is on their bubble so sees the kids 3 times a week as normal .( we only see them once a week ) Feeling very upset today I am going to resume my C25k plan might feel better after some air we are in tier 1 so no changes for us .
Schools have closed for two weeks in Northern Ireland. I suspect we might be doing some child minding. A Halloween break in a hotel for all the family has been cancelled,. The hotel are being difficult about a refund. Otherwise its same as usual. We only go out to the supermarket anyway.
I agree Missfoodlove, I feel the same.
In a few days partner and I are travelling from a level one to a level two area to look after his daughters two very young children whilst she has an operation. Normally I wouldn't do this but not really any alternative.
I wasn’t directed my comments at anyone in particular but as others have said - perhaps consider what journeys are necessary, rather than just for pleasure. Obviously animal welfare is an essential - we are looking after DD2’s dogs here and I’ll be meeting her on Monday at Ikea as she’s disabled and needs to return something.
We are in a University City - 100 a day testing positive, but the local population have to knuckle down and do as we are told for T2 - no mixed households and still outside. Luckily, we’re a hardy lot Up North.
We’ve been away to Bournemouth for a few days. Stayed at the Cumberland Hotel. Very well thought out social distancing policies and very clean. Lovely staff from variety of countries all very friendly, good food and fresh sea air. Bit old fashioned but in a good way. Excellent shopping area all with strict policies sanitising and limiting numbers. Everyone calm and patient.
I live on a county border, I am just inside tier 3 yet 5 minuites walk and am in a tier 1 ? I will travel between the 2 as I have livestock to care for, my grandson has a weekend job and our nearest shop are all in the next county. So to be honest carrying on as normal, luckily I don't drink or go to the gym so won't be breaking too many "rules"
We will be zooming the friends we have been having tea with every Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow is exciting as we have an appointment at our local Apple store. Haven’t been to the local mall this year.
I quite understand the risks regarding travel but understand at the moment it is allowed from high risk areas with your own household. We have recently returned from a trip to Melrose. We travelled in our own car, stayed in a remote cottage for two nights, cooked our own meals and went walking. The only time we went into Melrose itself was to visit the Abbey on Friday morning where we had the whole site to ourselves. We realise this will most likely be out last break for a long time as our county will most certainly become a tier 3 soon. I think it is certainly all about following the rules, being sensible and taking care to protect each other.
Riverwalk, I sincerely hope tier 2 works for your area.
In Lancashire we were downgraded or upgraded even from extra measures to tier 2 for a few days so we were allowed to visit our daughter and family in her garden.
Today we move to tier 3 as Bikergran said.
I am in a Tier 1 area but because of my lung condition I have decided to put myself into a sort of isolation. Mr B is going to do a short shop and visit to the bank for me today so I can stay in, which is great as I am tired and I can just sit and perfect my sock sitting on four needles.
North Lancashire here, so 3 Tier for us.
Pubs/soft play,bookies,etc etc to close but! Gyms to remain open! how does that work, exhaling/inhaling just does not make any sense at all.
If you do go to another part of the country the rules of your home tier travel with you.
I was joining a local litter pick but as we are now in tier 2 I’m having second thoughts.
It's because the dictirs are busy missfoodlove. My consultant relative has had to cancel his clinics to go back on the Covid ward.
They can't be in two places at once.
Please think hard, everyone, about how necessary your social outings are ?
I was downhearted when we moved into tier two. We can now only see DD and her menfolk in the garden, or on a SD walk, but now it’s winter there is less chance of that. It feels like all the progress toward normality we have made in this crisis has been undone at a stroke. There’s now talk of us moving into tier three but I really hope that doesn’t happen.
We’re in tier one but our local rag is full of sensational headlines saying we will move to 3!!!
It’s almost as though they want us to suffer, the local MP’s and council are supporting a circuit break lockdown.
I’m seriously concerned for the cancer patients and the many people not getting medical treatment.
I fear many deaths in the coming months from undiagnosed illness.
It’s crazy I could get a load of beauty treatments but my 12 week grandson who is wheezing cannot get face to face doctors appointment.
I’ve seen only one person on here saying that they’re meeting someone indoors, in a cafe. Perfectly fine if they’re in Tier 1. So who are the criticisms and name calling aimed at? 
We did relax a bit once the first wave had passed e.g. by travelling on a bus to go for a walk (distanced seating, masks on, windows open) - but that was prior to the new regulations.
I am not a selfish person.
I agree with you Georgesgran we are meeting friends for coffee this morning but despite being in tier 1 we will sit outside 2 metres away. We have not seen family since January and apart from walks in the fields behind us we stay at home.
I will soon be visiting the hospital every day for three weeks but it is strictly controlled.
We are at low risk here on the Isle of Anglesey but that doesn’t mean the virus isn’t lurking somewhere so I am taking every precaution.
Some may say I am ott but I don’t care what others think. I haven’t seen anyone indoors since March, we go for walks, meet family on the beach now that it’s quiet again, chat and catch up with friends on zoom, have our groceries delivered and avoid the builders who are rendering the outside of our house.
Of course we miss cuddles and kisses but I am not going to be party to spreading this horrid deadly virus, especially to those I love.
I can't understand why people are still going on holiday to other parts of the country.
We should have been in York this week, but it would have been totally irresponsible to travel from Glasgow to England. We cancelled weeks ago.
Of course I'm disappointed, but everyone has a part to play in beating this.
Georgesgran, it's known as being selfish---not in my backyard.
I don't care what I say quite honestly because I've worked through a pandemic and know only too well how it affects people right out of the blue.
I'm cross because I witnessed a beautiful 19 year old girl lose her life and her father was utterly bereft to the point of collapse because of the suddenness of it happening.
