This is not about the announcement yesterday on people living alone. This is about the announcement that said from 1st June those shielding in Wales are now allowed to meet another household outside and to go outside locally within 5 miles to exercise.

Ooo, great ideas, thanks both, I'll try tomorrow.

I cannot do free cycle as I'm not on Yahoo and don't want to join. Any other way? Anyone on here live in Cardiff and have a shortag...

Google environmental controls. Ways to turn off and on households devices and make them work using simple buttons, with IR (infrared) that is used in most remote systems. Low tech and very useful. You can switch off on lights, radio, tv, draw curtains etc.
