So tomorrow, I am going for a coffee and a browse in the shops.

[Fairydustrust]

Want to come? I think start off with a lovely coffee and just watch the people rushing by....then what next?

Spending time getting ready in nice clothes! A wander round the shop and have an actual shop assistant help with finding me lovely make-up in Debenhams then have fun squirting perfume. New underwear in M&S then all meet up for cocktails, people watching and laughter.
I'm really struggling tonight. Just the thought makes me smile!!
And if anyone is free next week fancy joining me for a spa day? Lounge by the pool, a quick jacuzzi with treatments then afternoon tea in our white fluffy dressing gown.

I'm not sure about all these charity shops. I've spent 2 lockdowns emptying all my cupboards!

Yes please!

I’ll go for a free hand and arm massage at Jo Malone, then get my eyebrows threaded and tinted. Then a mooch around The White Company and smell all the candles.

@Fairydustrust

Ooh, make up in Boots. I could do that. . Brian, I was born in Hull. Where are those lovely independent shops?

Me too....Well in Beverly Westwood Hospital !!

I’m afraid I can’t join you, OP, for I shall be in the cinema. The independent fancy cinema I go to where I can bring in a glass of wine, and nobody will be chewing on popcorn.

Might do a double-bill but, if I do, I’ll need brunch beforehand.

Well just one 🍹🍸🥂, ok maybes a few , but only if there's dancing! I've booked the babysitter all night...

@womanity

Cocktails once we’re done? 🍹

I'd better send the kid for a sleepover then! 🍸🍸

@TotoAnnihiliation

Ohh can we go to las iguanas? Once we have finished in the shops, it's no fun shopping when stuffed and tiddly.

Oh yes!!! Let's have a boozy lunch. Can't wait!

Books for me too.

I probably need new bras too, if I am honest.

Then time for pre-theatre meal and drinks before the show

I can’t get into town until 1. Want to meet for lunch? Then we can look at books in Waterstones.

Ooh yes got to get my eyebrows done and a pedicure. And a spray tan as I have never been this pale!

Bottomless martini lunch for me with my friends.

I'm going to a restaurant and then a really packed pub. Everyone will be squeezed in together and the body heat will be tremendous. I'll have to queue at the bar for a bit and squeeze through the crowd to get back to my group. We'll laugh, get a bit pissed, there'll be lots of banter. It'll be flipping fantastic!

I’ll come with you, then maybe we can stop for a nice lunch and a cocktail!

I could do with trying on some new bras. Would quite like a new lipstick too. A leisurely would be lovely too then maybe a quick drink in a pub before heading home.

*leisurely lunch

I'll join everyone that wants to browse in the bookshops then pop into a craft shop or two. Then I'd like to go into a gallery and buy something beautiful and original. Then coffee and cake (I have 22 hot drink vouchers for M&S so please join me), then if there's time I'd like to buy something from every department in John Lewis.

DH and I are going to book a nice hotel, get there lunchtime, drop our stuff, hit a nice little restaurant for a late lunch, wander from pub to pub till we are a little tiddly just in time to get the tube to Wembley Park exit into the sushi did where there are thousands of people slowing making their way up Wembley Way to go inside and see a huge rock concert where we will stand up and dance all night.
Back on the tube to our hotel later all danced and drunk out.

I MISS THIS!

I don't drink but I'd love this, I'll be designated driver. A boozy lunch at a cafe with cake, some people with books, some people with bras, some people with their knitting. Sounds fun!

Can I join you after I’ve had my hair cut?

Sushi did?? Sunshine!

I’ll come !!

I want to shop for new strappy high heels.
Then sit in a bar stool and admire my swinging heels while I sip fresh mojitos through straws.

And never wear slippers again.

@DeeDimer definitely a spa day the week after. That sounds fantastic

@kingdomcapers

Only if I can have scones and jam and plenty of Peppa pigs to bring home for myself the kiddos

I'd love to come and pick out an outfit for the evening. I hope some of you will join me for that?
It will be a bit quieter on a Sunday but still fairly lively, and they tend to play all the old classics so we can have a good dance.
I might get a bit tipsy and hug a few of you at the end of the night though.
