However, Shirley, 60, who was born and raised in Wallasey, Merseyside, cannot wait until the ­latest restrictions end so she can arrange to spend Christmas with her mother Audrey, 83.She says: “As soon as it lifts on December 2, my Danny [Taylor, her boyfriend, 47] will go up north and bring her down for Christmas, because I have to have Christmas with my mother.That’s just it.“She’s the only person in lockdown who hasn’t had one complaint out of her mouth.

I mean that with my hand on my heart.She’s the most positive person I know.“She’s had a beautiful routine that she has had all her life, not just lockdown.She does her garden, she has her cleaning, she’s forever washing her curtains and her windows, and cooks herself a nice warm meal.
