@CrustyCrabbe

Shall we go spray some perfumes in Boots and have a nosey at the make up? I also need to return a jumper to M&S that’s gone all bobbly
You could also try on hats in British Home Stores! Oh, sorry, forget they have gone......

Enjoy yourself!

Bumpsadaisie · 30/01/2021 22:09

I would come but I'm meeting my friend in the park - we are having a walk then a coffee. After that I am going to pop in the Art Gallery to see some pictures, buy some postcards. Then I will be popping into the office in the afternoon, and and the end of the day will be having my face to face psychotherapy appointment.

I wish Sad.

Hang in there all. It will be great when we can!

DelurkingAJ · 30/01/2021 22:09

I’m coming but we’re going to stop first for lunch with my oldest friends and their children and it will be mayhem but DH will indulge me as he always does. We’ll drop the DC after family lunch with DM and then hit the shops with you all. Theatre and cocktails then giggle our way back to DM’s on the night bus like we did 15 years ago! Wow!

Hugoslavia · 30/01/2021 22:09

Lunch would be nice and then the cinema perhaps. We could watch that new James Bond film.

DelurkingAJ · 30/01/2021 22:10

Oh lunch twice! Well brunch with friends then!

lockdownshmockdown · 30/01/2021 22:10

A morning swim, then a trip to the charity shop. Drop some things off I've been decluttering and take my time nosying at all the little glass tchotchkes. Maybe find a few that would be nice for tealight candles. Go get my hair cut and blow dried and then meet some friends for lunch. Smile

DumpedByText · 30/01/2021 22:10

Can we go into Primark and listen to my 13 year old DD say ooh look at this every two minutes! 😂

Fairydustrust · 30/01/2021 22:10

@negrilbaby

This post has made me cry a little 😢. I”m going to catch the train into London. Spend the morning mooching around the shops. Somewhere small, crowded and busy for lunch. Meeting a few friends for a drink in the afternoon, then ......aaargh too much to do, I can’t decide what. Need lots of hugs, lots of laughs.
Oh no @negrilbaby . It was to make us all feel happy and to give us something to look forward to Flowers

Sorry I can't join you. I'm off to the cinema then lunch with DH while the go bowling and then hit the arcades and have pizza. We might meet up afterwards and go shopping for random crap we don't need.

Leah2005 · 30/01/2021 22:11

Is anyone going to tkmaxx? To sniff all the soaps and put the majority back.

Fairydustrust · 30/01/2021 22:12

I don't mind which film is on. I will just enjoy the atmosphere (and the ice cream)..

I’m not sure if the covered market in Oxford is open on Sunday’s ? Anyone know ? I’d like to pick up some cheese , soap and flowers.

If not I’ll take a walk around Jericho and stop for lunch at Brasserie Blanc if I can get a table . Might be lucky enough to see Raymond ❤️

Chalkcheese · 30/01/2021 22:13

If the kids are with me then absolutely soft play, followed by the pub with the play area and the kids meals. I'll have steak with chips, onion rings, grilled tomato and peas, with peppercorn sauce and a refillable coke. They'll probably have chicken nuggets and something, and ice cream after with fruit shoots. Afterwards we will find a fair or a circus or a matinee children's show, before heading to the arcade for pizza, sweets and bowling. The younger ones will fall asleep, me and eldest will play on the machines and the 2p slots until we have run out of change. Then we will have ice cream sundaes in the dessert place in town before heading home.

Spring2021 · 30/01/2021 22:13

I would like to meet two really good friends for a long leisurely relaxing Prosecco or several a good chat and lots of laughs with a long late lunch followed by more Prosecco and putting the world to rights.

LadyStarlight · 30/01/2021 22:13

I definitely need primark! My DD10 has had a growth spurt and is suddenly a tweenie!! Then a wander round the charity shops and TKMaxx. I'll definitely need coffee and cake after that.

Woodlandbelle · 30/01/2021 22:14

Oh lovely. I will join you after a browse in TK maxx and home sense. I need a new foundation but it's hard to buy and not test them. Would live a nice coffee.

Benjispruce2 · 30/01/2021 22:14

Need to get my roots done ( appointment would have been today) but after I’d like to get ready to go to a big music gig, maybe Elbow? I’ll have a drink or two in the bar first then enjoy an en mass sing song to Mirrorball and go home happy.

Wiredforsound · 30/01/2021 22:14

I’m going to take my DD to Claridges for afternoon tea and then we’ll stroll down Bond Street, window shopping for tiaras in the jewellers windows, and then we’ll go to see Cirque du Soleil in the evening.

Justmuddlingalong · 30/01/2021 22:15

I'm going to pick up some holiday brochures from the travel agent and flick through them while having lunch and drinking cocktails in a busy bar. Then when I'm pissed enough and waiting for my next drink I'm going to get my phone out and book a really expensive, long haul holiday in the sun.

Newgirls · 30/01/2021 22:15

I’d love a new jumper while we are out as bit bored of mine. Try some trousers on maybe if we see anything nice. No rush. Might bump into some pals and hang about outside blocking the pavement for a chat.

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 30/01/2021 22:15

Definitely in for the movies, WishingHoping. I don’t even care what’s on, I’ll enjoy anything in a proper cinema. Popcorn’s on me.

herecomesthsun · 30/01/2021 22:16

I will take the kids to the cinema - we haven't seen Wonder Woman yet -and then to a cafe for lunch where we will discuss the film over pizza. DD and I will plan the party for her birthday in 2 weeks time. Then we will browse for some second hand books before stopping by the beach for an ice cream on the way home.

Chalkcheese · 30/01/2021 22:16

Can we just bugger off the travel agents, head to the airport, throw caution to the Wind and fly somewhere?

I feel like a city break would be better for me right now than a lifetime of therapy and kale

Peppafrig · 30/01/2021 22:16

Let’s all go to the pub and gets rat arsed then spent two hours waiting on a taxi home

Fairydustrust · 30/01/2021 22:17

@Goodbye2020Hello2021

Can I come? There's a food market on and I want to try all the little food samples on cocktail sticks at each stall and have a thimbleful of all the drinks before I buy...
Oh, a food market. I missed my usual pre Christmas market so much. Hot crepes, hot chocolate, cold wine.
