I'm still working, although now on annual leave for the next few days (was due to take the caravan to the Peak District). I was working from home as a good proportion of my work relies on having a computer and phone. The home visits I carry out have ceased.

At work at the moment, driving a 5 car train from Edinburgh to Preston with 6 passengers on.
The emergency timetable was brought in this week but next week its changing again.

Really surprised at the amount of people who are travelling around the country with suitcases....2 people in their 70s going to Edinburgh earlier with 3 suitcases , asked them where they were going and they said off to Inverness for a couple of weeks till it all died down , unbelievable

As a gas and heating engineer I've been carrying on but now have to stay home and look after the kids and will only respond to emergencies and breakdowns. Its proving difficult to get matetials and parts now anyway. Home school awaits!

I retired very early years ago.

Took up a little job working as a pharmacy delivery driver to give me something to do. Really busy now as you can imagine.

Must admit, I do feel like I am doing my bit to help people less fortunate than myself.

It's scary tho, as most of my deliveries go to little old dears who often can't see the danger of it. They don't fully understand why I am leaving it on their doorstep, knocking, then stepping back a few yards.

I am a school district locksmith. My workplace is still operating (barely) but as I have auto-immune issues I have taken sick leave to avoid contacting the virus.
I had planned on retiring at the end of the year anyway so I crunched the numbers and realised that the amount my pension will increase between now and then is minimal so I have officially applied to retire.
And it feels good!
