As title this is just for fun

If you did join in with looting where would you go?
I'm not meaning food but everyday stuff that people take for no gain .
I will start ( as expected) I will loot Waterstones as I love reading and reckon I will need something to pass the time, plus the medical books I need cost a fortune!

Oliver and Jocasta's mother's house. She has 200 bog rolls in her yoga lounge.

The Lego shop. That stuff isn't cheap. I'd be with you in Waterstones too.

Flying Tiger - the stationery & craft stuff would keep me entertained for hours, all those dinky kitchen gadgets that I lust after but resist buying because I don’t need them, the weird foody stuff is really nice and would do as emergency rations, plus bonus point would be they might have some hand soap left!

@mikeuniformmikeGrinGrinGrin

I would loot The Works to get my fix of notebooks, pens and self help books!

BitchHazel · 18/03/2020 12:22

I'd help you in Waterstones.

Also, I wouldn't have the heart to loot my favourite coffee shop as it's independant but if I won the lottery I'd buy all their stock and pay all their staff so they don't go under if they have to close over the next few months.

Don't think about the works for arts and crafts stuff . Would have a bloody house full of dream catchers 🤣

John Lewis, obvs.
Or Joules.
I am a Mumsnetter, after all.

MrsT1405 · 18/03/2020 12:25

I'd be at a knitting shop or paper type shop!

drinkingwineoutofamug · 18/03/2020 12:26

Would possible have to loot pets at home as well. Dog food, toys & stuff for my African snail as well!

Mulberry. I think a collection of designer handbags would help me keep my chin up during these difficult times.

Deathraystare · 18/03/2020 12:28

Waterstones, make up counters (just bought a lovely Dior Lipstick and would hate to run out....), plus HMV for CDs and DVDs. I don't have internet, netflix et al so if I self isolate I would need these!

SlurplePurple · 18/03/2020 12:29

Probably Lush. The kids love bath bombs but they’re way too expensive unless it’s a special treat. And I love the face masks and body conditioner.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 18/03/2020 12:30

Probably dfs, I really need a new couch and they have a nice one in there, they've never got the shape I want in the shop though so it might be tricky, but I'll take what I can get and make it work.
Then m & s for school uniform, I would get a shit tonne for the next few years.
Then a sports shop for sports clothes and trainers for all of us. I really grudge paying a fortune for things I only wear to get really sweaty, and ds 1 will only wear joggers atm 🙄 and they are expensive.
First stop would be a car garage though, for a big tank of a car that I could never usually afford. Infact I would take 2.

PorpentinaScamander · 18/03/2020 12:31

Hobbycraft, waterstones and the works.

Or the Range. They have everything!

starrysimon · 18/03/2020 12:31

Anywhere that sells Capri Suns, can’t get enough of them during this pregnancyGrin

Also McDonald’s as I used to work there as a teen so know how to make the food

drinkingwineoutofamug · 18/03/2020 12:31

Getting some great ideas here need a swag bag

In terms of my local area there are only a few places. Maybe the posh card shop and the gift shop.

Putapeonyinyourpocket · 18/03/2020 12:32

I overheard my neighbor brag about his 80 toilet rolls, so when I run out me and my botty will be over to his house lol!

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 18/03/2020 12:32

Then a bookshop, but only nky because I really love the smell of a new book. I usually buy them second hand or trade with people.

Tableclothing · 18/03/2020 12:32

Ticketmaster for when all this has blown over.

Rockbird · 18/03/2020 12:33

The Apple Store, then DFS for some new sofas. Then Lush for some lovely bath things, and home!

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 18/03/2020 12:33

Oh and I would go somewhere that sells really good pillows, duvets, and mattresses. I need a good mattress for my back but they are so bloody expensive!

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 18/03/2020 12:33

Ooh I'd do one of those old fashioned sweet shops.

Tiredmum100 · 18/03/2020 12:33

Wilkos for a pick and mix and next for some clothes.
