It's to be reviewed in three weeks. I'm not working, but then I have a buffer and can survive.

Anyone know if the closures include hotels ??

Ah, it's in the full guidance that's just been published. Closures include:

Quote
hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, campsites, caravan parks, and boarding houses for
commercial/leisure use (excluding permanent residents and key workers).

Applies for at least three weeks from now.

Thank you xw5  :-*

Very useful info. Personally not for work purposes but had something coming up next week and will be cancelling.

Got to look on the brightside, the punters can't spend any money on pubs, bookies, sporting events etc so when the virus is over/ under control, we will all be super busy as they'll have money in their pockets and purple balls!!!

I'd be pretty happy to get £95 a week even just to put a small dent in things, but then I'm not eligible for anything (in common with a fair few self employed people who own property that counts as capital, despite it being neither edible nor legal tender for paying bills with, I would suspect).

There are still people advertising rooms/incall places in Seeking/Offering here including some that have been posted pretty recently. I would say that anybody planning to continue after this evening might want to bear in mind that you're not exactly going to be hard to track down, and we as yet  have no idea how the fines discussed will be applied.

If you get your rent paid through the DWP on top of the £95 then it’s really not that bad, you just have to be extremely thrifty! I have lived on less believe me.

I would be happy to get that tbh at the moment. We only need to buy food gas/ electricity everything else like loans /credit cards/ mortgages can be put on hold if you cannot pay it and nobody needs spending money for going out or getting hair done or nails done or going cinema as everything is closed.

Just being able to survive and eat is enough for now with how things are. I feel sorry for the NHS staff, police, supermarket workers, chemists, probably the army and anyone putting there lives at risk that i have not mentioned that cannot just stay in the house and avoid this.

Amy aren’t you able to get anything from UC because you own your home?

I'm not so sure that owning the property you live in affects the income part of UC, only that there'd be no rent component - but I could be wrong. Obviously a check with the relevant organisations, and DWP/UC websites would confirm that.

Until the announcement I was up for working, but now definitely not. What would scare me is if an undercover reporter were to book and do a sensationalist tabloid story about hookers disobeying the isolation rules and ending up with my mug splashed all over the gutter press! Yep a bit dramatic, but could happen  :-\

I'm not talking about my home though, I'm talking about my work flat. The one I own in my home town, rather than the one I rent in a lovely part of Central London, which obviously is also very sensibly priced ;D (and for which I'll sell a bastard kidney before I give it up). Oh, and I do own my home as well, so three lots each of bills and Council Tax for me. But moaning like fuck about it won't help, and lots of people are far worse off.

I considered the authorities poking through ads, but not this. That is a truly horrendous thought indeed and I don't think it's dramatic at all.

Oh I hadn’t even thought of journalists making fake appointments! Very possible indeed, journalists love to shame us as it is and we would start getting the blame for all CV cases if they did this, I could see that happening. Well that’s me unavailable until the foreseeable. :'(
