No mention of going to banks as an essential journey. I had a cheque  sent to me just as lockdown started. I would usually pay it in through an ATM using my card, but the branch is 10 miles away. I know it would be valid for 6 months, but I would like to get it into my current account.

You can pay cheques into the main banks at post offices.  You just need a paying-in slip.

There are usually some payi-in slips at the back of the cheque book.

I have read scrubs are needed to be made for NHS staff now.  Anyone handy using a sewing machine?

Can you enlarge on that River Tyne Lass?

Certainly Viktoria .. I just saw that article and thought I would let RootsChatters know about it just in case there might be anyone out there who might be able to help with making these scrubs.  There seems to be such a great need in the NHS at the present time .. volunteers, face masks and now scrubs.  It is marvelous how people are doing so much all over the country.  I can't say too much as I am starting nightshift soon and am now rushed for time.

I rushed in— as usual,without reading the link.
Thanks ,will see what I can do.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that only essential workers could go to work, i.e. NHS, transport, Post offices and shops selling food etc.

I was astonished to see my window cleaner cleaning my windows just now.    Hardly an essential occupation is it 

What do you think?

Section 1 point 4 says you can go out for work but only if you can't work from home. doesn't say only essential workers.

Ok, thanks for that Lizzie, must have missed that info.  There is so much information available that it can get somewhat overwhelming finding the relevant bits.
