I'm still unsure if I'm allowed to go see my mum. My situation is this - I live with the wife, and I spend every sunday with my mum at her house, she is a single adult and no one else visits during the week, so if she is in my bubble can I still carry on visiting every sunday during lockdown?

I think you can.
However someone will know definitively I’m sure


From the Government website

What a support bubble is​

A support bubble is a close support network between a household with only one adult in the home (known as a single-adult household) and one other household of any size.

This is called making a ‘support bubble’.

Once you’re in a support bubble, you can think of yourself as being in a single household with people from the other household. It means you can have close contact with that household as if they were members of your own household.

Once you make a support bubble, you should not change who is in your bubble.

Continue to follow social distancing guidance with people outside of your household or support bubble. This is critical to keeping you, your family and friends as safe as possible.

Yes. She is a single household and can be part of your support bubble

A support bubble is where a household with one adult joins with another household. Households in that support bubble can still visit each other, stay overnight in each other’s households, and visit outdoor public places together.

Yeah, I think you're fine:
You must not meet socially indoors with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.

latest guidance for new lockdown

2. Meeting others safely​

In general, you must not meet people socially. However, you can exercise or meet in a public, outdoors space with people you live with, your support bubble (or as part of a childcare bubble), or with one other person. You should minimise time spent outside your home. When around other people, stay 2 metres apart from anyone not in your household - meaning the people you live with - or your support bubble. Where this is not possible, stay 1 metre apart with extra precautions (e.g. wearing a face covering).

You must not meet socially indoors with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.

A support bubble is where a household with one adult joins with another household. Households in that support bubble can still visit each other, stay overnight in each other’s households, and visit outdoor public places together.

You can exercise or visit outdoor public places with:

  • the people you live with
  • your support bubble
  • or, when on your own, 1 person from another household. Children under 5, as well as disabled people dependent on round-the-clock care are not counted towards the limit on two people meeting outside
There is further guidance on what exercise and other physical activity can continue during the period of national restrictions.

Outdoor public places include:

  • neighbourhood streets, parks, beaches, and the countryside
  • public gardens and grounds (whether or not you pay to enter them)
  • allotments
  • outdoor playgrounds
You cannot meet people in a private garden, unless you live with them or have formed a support bubble with them.

Face coverings are required by law to be worn in many indoor settings, such as shops or places of worship where these remain open, and on public transport.

Hardly surprising.

Having spent many years in Government IT you are dammed either way. You have 2 options.

1. Basic software on outdated platform costing 20 million.
2. Dogs bollocks system on latest platform costing 40 million.

What happens, option 1 would be chosen. The reason, option 2 would be deemed excessive cost, criticised in the media and hauled before the public accounts committee. Then the taxpayers moan that option 1 was a waste of money and laugh at the incompetence of the Government

Very true.
But the biggest issues are that management is highly centralised and generally hasn't got a clue about IT - You know the thing that most of their business operates on.

Daughter has gone back to uni but been told she cant come home until December 18th and if seen leaving with a suitcase she will be reported.

What the fuck! Seriously thinking of letting her pack in and try again next year. Not far off being in prison.

Completely understand this. Get her to come home WW.
 
Serious question regarding support bubbles. If I classed my mum (living alone) as in my bubble, can my sister also class her as being in her bubble or are only one of allowed to do so. Now I’m not saying both see her at the same time but on different occasions?
This isn’t my situation by the way just wondered.

Do you have a mountain bike? Make sure you find something to keep busy and if you can do so, stop watching mainstream media. Do your own research and don't be influenced by other peoples opinions. Stay strong

Your Mum can effectively join with one other household as a support bubble. She becomes part of their household. But she can only do that with one.
