How is everyone doing? Have you been furloughed? Is your company paying the extra 20%? The almighty Tim Martin obviously is not for me 👀 ---

Still waiting for HMRC to sort me out, hopefully sometime this month/early next month (self employed). ---

To be honest I couldn’t be bothered. For the small amount, and the time it takes, I thought I’d just wait it out. Luckily I have my income tax pot that I can dip into and replace once I get the grant but I’m sure there will be others out there struggling. > [@Cerberus](#): > > Did you pre-register already? I have checked if I am eligible, and it says I am. I have also provider my email and phone number to be alerted when I can claim which is next week. If that’s what you mean? ---

Well I did apply and I got £400 two days later as an advance which helped massively give it a go ---

Speech on Sunday, I’m going with possibly schools opening again and that’s about it…what do you guys think? ---

I’m really not sure 🤔 I just hope they open to much to fast and we all end up in the same situation 😔 I think maybe allow people to visit households. But still no gathering outside no parks beaches nothing like that! It would be so much easier to track infections that way ---

I really doubt we’ll hear anything about schools opening again before September. _Maybe_ a wider definition of who is allowed to send their kids to school, but to be honest, I think even that is a stretch. ---

Same boat in thinking about things going too fast. In my eyes it would hard to stand there and say right we are out of lockdown but these measures are in place…cant see it working for Brits. We can hardly follow a soft lockdown! ---
