    I can imagine how you are feeling, it will be interesting to hear how you get on, it's a big step. Good luck.

    Yes and from me as well bells. I want to book a dental check up ASAP, no issues, but it is something that I like to keep up to date. Anything optical or dental involves close proximity work, so thoughts are with you.😁

    There are certainly some higher outbreaks in various places. Looking at the numbers by actual named parts, some of S Wales has had a continuous problem. I'm hoping people won't think "I'll go to the area that's least infected for a day out etc." A great amount of caution is needed in the coming weeks. People have still got to be shielded too.

    Seen it on other forums when politics is allowed to run wild then the forum degenerates.  I don't need to be bombarded with this stuff.

    I'm out

    Good luck from me as well. 

    We're waiting for contact from our dentist, in England, as we had appointments cancelled. Don't know when that will be.

    Good luck thebells do let us know how you get on. I had a cataract OP a year ago, not happy with new varifocals from February, I usually wear contact lenses so need to discuss the situation as glasses make me feel seasick! Worn varificals and bifocal lenses for years.

    Had a communication from our dentist today, they are Denplan and have been doing emergency work throughout over 250 they said in their last email. They were surprised at being open from 8 June and are working out the 'how to' now. Our appointments are always booked 6 months in advance, we have the pleasure of 3 monthly checks 😂 so hopefully well get a check before too long.

    Good luck folks with appointments - I'm looking forward to the hairdresser scrum 😱. My hairdresser's fb page has asked for names to add to the list together with your availability and what you'd like done in an effort to plan and sort for the best. She and her girls 😉 are all young mums working part time but cover lots of hours including evenings so fingers crossed I'll get at least one cut and some highlights by Christmas 🤣🤣🤣

    Bakers2- Here in wales the first minister talked about what next will be relaxed specifying to businesses they should be using the next 3 weeks to prepare, not like England where changes seem to be made on the hoof with little preparation time.

    Personally I think the lifting of some of the lockdown measures are too soon , the drive as far as you like is just plain stupid, me , I just shop as little as I can ,we have booked to go away in September,but if I don’t think it is safe then we won’t go , it’s no good just having spacing on the site ,but what about the shops and visitor attractions that people visit ,how  safe are they even if they are open

    Don't you think that all services/businesses have had 10 weeks already to think about how they will work once allowed to open and how to put measures in place? I know that hairdressers and certain retailers certainly have. Plenty of preparation time for the forward thinking companies.

    "the drive as far as you like is just plain stupid"

    I agree, and have made the same point many times  (but been shot down wink) - it defeats me how it can be described as a "baby step" but I think the rationale behind the move has become clearer just lately! frown

    Hi DK

    So, you encourage people to be apolitical as possible yet still let pages of political debate take place. I've requested this to stop before and was shot down, I've reported posts with no result. Rowena has stepped in to remind folk of the community guidelines. What's so difficult? To me, major moderation means removing posts and maybe posters, so be it, do it.

    The tail doesn't wag the dog.

    I'll report my own post as I've broken our social media policy.

    JK

    We've seen on local TV discussions and reports about holidaying here in the SW. One medical opinion suggested our rates are low due to being out of the holiday season earlier on but the threat of many people arriving for holidays will probably produce a spike in cases.

    Questioning moderation is no-no JK🤷🏻‍♂️. I take it that not having any territory to stomp around on is telling on the nerves, don’t worry your authority will return👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Same with The Fraser Group, as daughter has been setting up some of their shops local to her home for the last couple of weeks.

    Some businesses have been excellent in coming to terms with putting in place safety measures for customers and staff, and not just large ones. When I have had no option I have been inside the odd shop and on the whole been impressed with how things are organised, staffed and managed. I tend to pick my places, have an initial look at how things are organised, and make a decision from there. Personally, we don’t feel the need to shop instore for very much at all, so our preferences will remain online for the foreseeable future. We don’t go in for much in the way of retail therapy, so it won’t be a big thing for us giving up shopping. Our concerns are more around things like dental check ups, vets, opticians. But sure these will get organised as best they can. Looks like my short hair style might be short lived😁 OH gets a tuppenny all off via some home clippers😂
