@Chalkcheese at 9:28 - please can I be your BFF and live that life forever? Or at least once a month!

I know as I soon as I see the one I'll know

I've got a shortlist of possibilities after a lot of online window shopping but want to see them in person

Definitely. It's what it's all about.

Jam. Yes, you need to be able to pick things up. Something will just be perfect, but you need to be there

Dont forget your passport, a flight for an overnight in Paris is booked for those that are feeling the need to spread their wings.

I want to go shopping in London, I have to get the train from here, then I'll go on the Tube, possibly get lost, then wander round the Westfield (and play with all the make-up) to my heart's content. I'll have lunch at Ping Pong, then take a detour to Euston on my way back to King's Cross to get a hot chocolate from Hotel Chocolat. ❤ Bliss.

Would anyone mind a quick detour to have coffee and cake (or a scone maybe) in a cat cafe? One that has pedigree cats and we can ooo and ahh as they ignore us? My treat. We can brush the cat hairs off us then meet up with the rest of the gang.

No. No cats! Mine attacked me today the little shit because I wasn't giving her enough attention. I want a cat-free day Grin

ImnotCarolineHirons · 31/01/2021 00:30

@CanHearTheTune it's a day dreaming thread, I think you missed that point ... op isn't really going tomorrow Hmm

ammary · 31/01/2021 00:34

After my coffee I want to go to the antique and reclamation places to find a fireplace chair. some old photo frames and some Victorian door knobs!

JaceLancs · 31/01/2021 00:36

I really want a trip to tkmaxx and homesense at my local retail park, followed by hobby craft and a visit to cafe nero
Would love to try on some new underwear at bravissimo and sniff a few perfumes in John Lewis

AuntLucy · 31/01/2021 00:37

Ah, would love to but I can't. Mum and I have booked shorthaul last minute flights to Milan so we're hoping to have breakfast in a pavement cafe with really strong coffee, pastries and fresh fruit, and then we're going shoe shopping. We shall smell of perfumes we don't own that we tried in Duty Free, and be wearing new sunglasses.

There’s no chance of cat contact at the cat cafe I’m thinking off. They’ll be all aloof or at the very top of the giant cat tree. Aw go on - the chocolate on the cappuccino’s is shaped like a cats paw and if you’re lucky you might see the cat with thumbs!

You need to try on some jeans.

I really fancy a swim and the cinema after all that shopping!

RozHuntleysStump · 31/01/2021 00:47

I’d really like a spa day with the full works.

What?! Just .....what!?

DianaT1969 · 31/01/2021 00:49

I'll buy some summer clothes for my holidays this year. I'm going on 5 trips starting in April. On my way home I'll stop at a tapas bar and have a glass of wine listening to Latin music while people watching the smart city crowd stream out of their offices.

Vicky1y · 31/01/2021 00:49

@JaceLancs I could do with a cafe Nero 😋

LastStarFighter · 31/01/2021 00:53

Can I join you for the evening? It’s just, I need to drop my kids off at their friends for trampolining and sleepovers, then I’m heading in to see my lovely hairdressers to get about 5 inches of frizz chopped off, and my colour done, and then meeting my best friend for coffee. The coffee shop is always packed, because the cakes are so good, but we don’t mind, and they don’t mind if we stay for ages.

I’ll meet you after that though, maybe for cocktails, although if it’s going to be late I’ll pop to the gallery first, to be able to actually see art in real life.

(I might squeeze a bra fitting in somewhere too.)

@waspnest Maybe I’m getting a bit overexcited at the thought of going out for a hairy coffee here - there’s a polydactyl cat at the cafe. Cat with thumbs sounds more alluring though don’t you think?

Theatre yes, I've had two shows rescheduled twice, from June 2020 to Feb 2021 now Nov 2021

Woah! I just looked it up and that is freaky. The record is a cat with 28 toes! Think of the damage those claws could do.

BruceAndNosh · 31/01/2021 01:28

I've decided to skip the every bra in M&S session. Instead I'm going to drive 150 miles to have afternoon tea with my best mate. This will involve at least one bottle of prosecco so I won't be able to drive home so will HAVE to stay in the nicest hotel in Bath.
Then we'll have second afternoon tea the next day too
