    @GreenTea are they easy to get hold of? I don't know if they do them up here in Scotland.

    They do it's on the gov website. Worth getting because you basically put it on your phone or wear it as a badge etc

    I think if you can’t wear a mask here you’ve gotta wear a spit guard lol
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,948 Supreme Poster
    Although I technically fall into a category which could be exempt in some situations it wouldn't be right for me so I haven't looked at them. I hope you get hold of one soon @GreenTea it's good that there isn't a huge process to get through to get hold of one

    Like I do try but can't for long period of time. I literally cut the back of my ear, ripping a mask off my face yesterday In utter panic
  • Past UserPast User Posts: 1,997 Extreme Poster
    Yeah @independent_ folk are wearing either masks or spit guards here. Lots of tourists I noticed this week which is daft because most things are still closed where I am haha
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,948 Supreme Poster
    @GreenTea aww that must be horrible, your situation is a very good example of why members of the public shouldn't question or have a go at others for not wearing them. That's up to the police who would likely be more understanding than some of the horrible people I've heard about that make it a point to berate others for not wearing them.

    Honestly the amount of Verbal abuse that happens and seeing people whining about people not wearing a mask really upsets me. It's really not easy for some of us at all. Hopefully with a government card I can just flash it and hope for the best 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,948 Supreme Poster
    @Liam aha yeah there's been a few here too, but we aren't really a touristy type area down here. The beach was absolutely completely and utterly packed when I went on Tuesday though. 

    I managed to get a big box of 50 face masks from my local independent chemist for about £20, so that wasn't too bad. They're surprisingly ok to wear.

    I'll have a look now on the website thanks!
    Will also be great for my mam she's worried she can't go shopping now 
  • Former MemberFormer Member ☕🌻☕ Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    There's lots of cool ones on Etsy that you can wash and re use 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,948 Supreme Poster
    @GreenTea aw yeah I bet it's upsetting, hopefully the card works well. Some people have nothing better to do it's so horrible

    @independent_ I’m wearing the disposable ones. They have a thin strap which is good because I had my ears stitched back when I were wee because they stuck out🤣 so there’s not much of a gap behind my ear, the home made ones just fling off lol


  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,948 Supreme Poster
    @Liam I've got the disposable ones too, I actually find them easier to wear. I had a reusable one which I found really really claustrophobic and difficult to actually breathe aha! The home made ones look fun to make though but maybe not so fun to wear

    I know Sainsbury’s  have already said they won’t be challenging people who arrive without a face mask as they could be exempt and instead just gave the reminder throughout the store.

    ive found any type of mask is ruining my face and even though I can be classed as exempt I guess work has prepared me for this , being stuck in the disposable ones for 7 sometimes 14 hours is not fun 🤣 But watch care homes etc now struggle to get masks now it’s compulsory for everyone to wear them in shops. we’ve already had to change brands 3 times and that’s stressful for me haha 



    in other news ITS TOO EARLY UGHHHH I DONT WANT TO BE AN ADULT AND WORK 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I like the masks. Tiktok has made me feel like my face isn’t symmetrical after doing that inverted filter. Feel like my face is ugly. So atleast I can cover half of it away from people
    ~Probably dead now

    Feels like a great mask. Dont even have to pretend to look happy cause no one can see😅
