My grandson was in contact with another child at nursery on Wednesday . Today my daughter was informed the child has tested positive with Covid. I looked after my grandson for 4 hours today . Not worried but just wondered.

GagaJo I know. hmm
The thing is (and this is making me well up) he was after a screwdriver to tighten up the stair handrail because he was scared of me falling.
Sorry, I've got to go, I've got something in my eye...

Aww FannyCornforth!
I’m not often spurred into commenting but that was so touching! Bless him ! You’ve got a good’un there.
It’s the sort of daft thing mine would do.
Best wishes to you both. ?

Worth knowing that an oximeter won’t work if you’ve got nail varnish on you nails. If you do turn your finger sideways.

GranEd thank you, that's so sweet flowers
But you aren't helping matters in the 'tearing up department'!

MayBee ooh, didn't know that, thank you

Best wishes, Whiff, and hope you are ok. I haven’t looked after my grandchildren since just before Christmas in the light of the more contagious variant. They go to preschool in the mornings and my daughter is a teacher, so it was a “double” risk for me, even though I think it’s allowable by Boris. I did look after the GC between September - December when things were slightly easier, but it was always a risk. Please feel free to ask questions on GN - we often look for reassurance and advice from others as well as information and most posters are very polite and helpful.

I am self isolating until 1st February. Thank you to all of you who asked and were kind. I am fine. To those of you who weren't manners don't cost anything. I treat people as I want to be treated you must want to be treated awfully. Think how you would feel if you asked something and had some of the replies you sent me. Shame on you.
