I'm up for anything guys! meet you around two, after my nail appointment.

@starrynight19

Oh the theatre yes please. We should be going to the lion king in March , delayed from Nov. Can’t see it Sad
We had tickets for Jesus Christ Superstar last Easter. Delayed to this Easter. Now delayed until November. Ds was excited as his 'only nice teacher' was in it. He'll have left the School by the time it's 'on' (if it ever is) Ds, that is. Maybe the nice teacher too :(

I'll come if I may?
A scoof around the charity shops, dump the bargains in the car, then a nice hot chocolate and then leave me in the bookshop please?

I need a hat for a wedding. Who's up for a try on sesh?
Me. I haven't tried on hats for so long. Always think I will look like Audrey Hepburn but actually look like a scarecrow. But tomorrow, they're all going to look fabulous!

@User2921 I'm having a strawberry daiquiri do you can try that Grin

Serena1977 · 30/01/2021 22:32

Can I come?
I want to have a mooch round the market, have a look in waterstones and I need to buy some footwear! Then a slice of cake in the window of a cafe and people watch.

WingingIt101 · 30/01/2021 22:33

I’m in! I like all the suggestions so far but I really don’t mind. I’d just like to go places with people and show off my gorgeous baby who was born just as lockdown one hit. So that’s my addition to the list, people cooing over her and telling me what a beautiful little baby she is please!

I’m going to take dd to that Japanese restaurant with the conveyor belt and she can have whatever she wants. Then we’re going to pick some books and sit in the sunshine on the rooftop garden on the Library of Birmingham.

Put up a photo? We will coo.

@Halfagonyhalfhope

Packed Art Gallery exhibition - I won't complain once about the crowds!
I’ve got a booking for the Emin, or rather I did have, but I’m sure they’ll let me in.
Justmuddlingalong · 30/01/2021 22:37

I'll meet you all there. I'm going to pop in for a bikini wax first. I've just realised when my last one was. 😳

Do you mind if I have a cuddle? Just while you drink your coffee .
SonjaMorgan · 30/01/2021 22:38

I miss book shops. I want to touch loads of books and read the blurb without feeling guilty.

Then onto our independent cinema that is somehow holding on, I want nachos with cheese dip and jalapenos.

I'm on a book buying ban so I'll buy someone a coffee (and cake), if they'll pick up a book for me?

That's not breaking my resolution, is it? 🤣🤣

Jeremyironseverything · 30/01/2021 22:39

How many do I need to book the table for?

@Jeremyironseverything

195 so far.

I want to go to a yarn shop and feel the different yarn and look at the colours before buying instead of buying online and being disappointed when it arrives, then I want to go sit in a coffee shop and read a book while people watching.

52andblue · 30/01/2021 22:40

@sapnupuas
How many do you need (ie, would you like)?
I should tell you I consider books an essential not a luxury...

CharityDingle · 30/01/2021 22:41

Bookshop, bookshop, bookshop...then a coffee, and just a stroll around the shopping centre, popping in to anywhere I like.

ZenNudist · 30/01/2021 22:41

I'm in. Lunch at somewhere chi chi. Wood floors, high ceilings, scruffy chic, menu written on blackboards, lots of seafood. Crab salad and a nice dry white wine. We can have a good catch up. Afterwards we can wander into those clothing boutiques not meaning to buy anything but then finding the perfect silk top that will do for my work networking events, that conference I've got coming up, or even when DH and I get out on date night next weekend.

If I don't stuff myself at lunch I reckon we can at the very least manage a flat white maybe some kind of chocolate torte thing at a cafe once we finish shopping. Can't stay out too long. I'm going to the cinema with dh tonight... gotta drop the kids with the grandparents.
