The family next door to me will never see this but what the hell !!

They have two small kids and he is a printer and she is a senior nurse at a Wakefield hospital.
We saw her during the first lockdown nelt down in the garden crying after coming home from a 13 hr shift and to find her husband had lost his job.
He started work again a couple of months ago but just before chrismas tested positive so they all stayed at home waitng for their release on the 22 nd Dec, until she tested positive :(
No family around at theirs at all this year and some folk are pissed off at the pubs being closed ???

Only the E46 cab left now.

That’s sad 😞

We didn’t buy gifts for each other as we decided to make others Christmas special by donating money to those who lost their jobs and had kids, much more rewarding knowing the kids benefited having a normal Christmas during these times.

It`s guy`s like these who ask for nothing but just get on with it, who knows what that girl has gone through over the last year , I lost my job...........so what !
I missed the first clapping event as I was on the late shift but got the second one and to see the people around us surround her house was very special.

My Mother spent Christmas in a Russian concentration camp at -30 with no food, but I do really feel sorry for the people that could not get to a pub......

Try to cheer them up and let them know they are valued, I'll donate £20 to drop them off a bottle of Baileys or something along those lines to lift there spirits.
