Just to add... this is where clicking on the link in the last text they sent takes me

So confusing, and contradictory.
I can't open that link. It says page not found.

When shielding started they said for 3 months so the end of June is not new information. Of course it might be extended. Best to wait for the PM's announcement on Sunday for more information."The text I got today tells me to shield till the 30th of June OMG!" -john Green. That's helpful. Has anyone else been given a date when shielding should end? Does anyone know if and when the food boxes will stop arriving? Or the priority slots in supermarkets will end. The latter are the most important to me as I don't drive and can't do click and collect. Food boxes -grateful as I am for them- contain only ambient food. No butter/spread, cheese or eggs.

I feel for you. You are right to just stay safe though. Hugs.I doubt that those deemed extremely vulnerable will be suddenly no longer vulnerable on that date, and fully expect my ‘parole’ to be declined and house arrest extended.
Those of us ‘more vulnerable’ really can’t expect the rest of the nation to continue to be isolated, so will just have to get on with it, as the world outside resumes the new normal.
It really isn’t so bad. Thanks.I feel for you. You are right to just stay safe though. Hugs.

I have just been reading Wolf Hall, there is reference to the English Sweating Sickness that occurred in 1530's "sweating at breakfast, dead by noon" The disease was prevalent for a year or two and then disappeared never to be seen again. If we are really lucky.........I do think that as 30th June approaches we will get further messages may be extending the time needed to shield I personally don't think I will feel safe until a fully implemented vaccination program has been carried out and God alone knows when that will be.
Edit to add whoever and whenever is there a totally safe life risks are ever present you just have to live with them.
Do you have 3 people in your household including yourself? Do they have a way of knowing that? I have read that if you are shielding and you live with someone else who can't go out because of protecting you, then you can ask for an extra box for them too.I still have not received a letter but have had emails from iceland the co-op and asda offering me priority delivery slots and this morning some guys in an army truck deposited not one but three boxes of essential supplies 3 weeks worth at one go, to say the least I am somewhat gobsmacked and a little surprised.
Edit to add I don't quite know where to put it all.
I think one may be for Melody my daughter and of course there is Judith so yes there are three of us and now Keiran my grandson who has already had the illness while at university and has returned home after making sure enough time had passed since getting the symptoms and recovering. So that makes us a household of 4.Do you have 3 people in your household including yourself? Do they have a way of knowing that?

I have a feeling so am I but we do not seem to figure in any official statements or have I missed it we seem to have been forgotten about.I am shielding for the foreseeable future. However, I don't have employment issues.

Having just gone through the online guidance there is nothing for beyond the 30th of June
