I've got a 5 month old Daughter so it's been very nice (sometimes) to get to spend a lot of time with her when ordinarily I would be out at work or asleep 5 or 6 days a week. I'm also one of those people that gets used to things quickly, this feels normal for me now and I could probably keep it...

Fair play, I made a claim on Monday and looking at my online banking this morning I have a pending payment from HMRC due in my account on Monday. Fantastic service and so simple to use. It must have been some effort to get it all set up and processed as quickly as this.

4,050 cases is what's currently being reported. Lowest it's been in nearly 2 weeks.

Surprised nobody has said Dave Busst yet!

If you're relying on the worldometer website for critical figures, don't. If they don't have the figures to hand they leave the pmost recent ones up until they get an updated figure. We've been on 163 critical for 3 days or so now, and before that we were sat on 20 for a week or longer.

Youtube. Music makes me happy so i'll put a few videos on to cheer me up or at least keep my mind occupied. I will usually get the guitar out and pretend I can actually play it but with the wife at home that's something I can't currently do though. I'll also watch videos of happy sporting...

Crap, i'll have run out of money by the middle of April. I'm also concerned that those of us eligible for the business grants will be contacted by letter. Not much use when I can't get in the shop to retrieve said letter.

Greeting cards, party supplies etc. It's as dull as it sounds. The customer base is predominently older so once the Government started asking older people to stay at home sales went south. It's easy enough to list cards on ebay but unsurprisingly there just isn't the demand to bring in more than...

My retail unit has bene shut since Sunday although sales collapsed well over a week beforehand. I grabbed a load of stock on my way out and am now selling a few bits and pieces on ebay to try and keep some money coming in. Lots of hours and very little money. I'm waiting to be able to make a...

The Welsh, Scottish, N Ireland figures are released first, the English figures are released a couple of hours for some reason.

UK now on 5018 cases, up 1035 on the day.

I think the government paying 80% of wages will make it more cost effective for a lot of the remaining non essential retail shops to close rather than stay open. Dorothy Perkins has decided to close all their stores from tonight for a start.

Now the USA are starting to take it seriously their case numbers are flying up. Another 1,500 added to those figures in the past couple of hours. Give it a couple of weeks and they could be past 100,000.

There doesn't seem to be any official confirmation of this news. Wales Online reported it but then pulled the article.

I was in my local earlier expecting total carnage but it was quiet. Everything in stock too. Really quite surreal considering some of the things i've seen recently. Oddly they have upacked all the toilet rolls though and are selling them loose one at a time unpackaged.

Good grief, my wife has just had a text message off of one of her full time 'disabled' brothers saying where's the help in this bail out for him and his equally 'disabled' twin. They both get more than enough to comfortably live off whilst having plenty left for cars, fags, enough booze to be...

Yep, very few insurance policies will cover anything like this. Some of the biggest companies will have had such clauses written in but most won't. Business interruption tends to be fires, floods and whatnot.

France and Spain have announced lockdown with their cases pushing what, 5,000 and 6,000. If we were to maintain a 30% increase daily we would be at those sort of numbers by next Friday / Saturday. 20% and we would be looking at maybe a week Monday / Tuesday. I think lockdown is probably going to...

Anyone else work in retail, specifically anywhere not selling food? Hows business at the moment? The place I work is as quiet as I can ever remember, today in particular would be a bad day any day of the week let alone a Saturday. People do seem to be giving my town a swerve at the moment even...

If your friends know your situation and are still applying the pressure then they are not your friends. They are twats. Best wishes to you and your family.
