Biceptal tendinitis. Still got it but nowhere near as bad. I think I got it from doing a lot of overhead work for the better part of a month (levelling ceilings and building bulkheads in an old house).

Good your on the mend then

Going to be really tough couple of months for me personally, got couple of big extensions to board and skim, parex render on outside, problem is, customers still living in propertys so if they isolate or I get forced to self isolate, be fucked, tough times ahead for everyone that’s for sure

I totally get your and the whole 15% self employed point of view (and totally agree that you should be compensated as well) but they have got to find the cash from somewhere and feel that is probably too much of a risk to cover all.

They could have found some of the money by offering 75% of usual incomes to everyone (and borrowed the rest like Government’s do in economic emergencies).
