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?

Can we all dress up for the occasion? I've got an unworn pair of lovely heels I bought recently, I think I'll wear them. But I'll bring flats for when they inevitably start to hurt.

My friends & I have decided we are going to the Range looking at art & craft & soft furnishings
we haven't decided whether we will have afternoon tea or pub lunch -one where there is an outside area with good food & a nice garden & sunshine
& My dd's & I will meet up with dgc & go to zoo or playground or seaside for the day

Can we fit in a late night gig. I long to be in a sweaty crowd as the lights go down and the band walks on. I miss live music so bad

@Averyhungrycaterpillar

Can I come? I'll come for cocktails too before I go to a concert - I miss standing very closely to lots of other sweaty people (never thought I'd say that!)

Can you imagine saying that, two years ago?

@52andblue they are definitely essential but I could be accused of stockpiling. I have so many I'm yet to read!

American Psycho is currently top of my list (something nice and cheery to match my mood... 🤣)

Absolutely we will go first class @fairydustrust, we'll all probably fill the carriage - it'll be the Fairydustrust Express.

@WingingIt101

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!

Oooh, pass her over please so I can squeeze her? (very gently I promise)

Can I bring along my two teens with Autism please?
they are completely lovely and SO lonely!
They will not say anything / might not look up from their phones, but they need to be outside / with other people. / scoffing hot choc / cake.

@Jeremyironseverything

How many do I need to book the table for?

Just book what you can. We can drag chairs over and squash up a bit.

I just want to sit outside on a terrace in the Med, watching the sunset, drinking wine with a gorgeous man, eating paella, watching beautiful people walk past, then head to a bar for more drinks, bit of dancing then back to the hotel for some dirty sex.

That's all

I think a nice outfit will be lovely. Some will be wearing cocktail dresses. I can't do the heels though. Me walking in high heels is not a good look!

@sapnupuas
Do you have those topply book piles everywhere like me? My kids say: 'no more books Mum' quite sternly. Apparently. I can't hear them sadly.

I'm gonna be dolled up to the nines mate

I'm going to have an early morning personal shopper session at debenhams, then visit a craft market in my updated look and purchase a selection of pretty knobs (ooer) and a turned wood light pull. I'll have a samosa, an artisan scotch egg and a mocha for lunch.
If the Steve McQueen exhibition is still on, I'll go there.

@grassisjeweled. .tell it like it is

I’ve been trying to watch the Met Opera online but I can’t watch a whole show. Its just not the same. Anyone up for a trip to the theatre? There’s jazz, opera or a pantomime.

There must be time for a quick karaoke singalong at some point. Even if it's on the train there.

I would but I’m off on holiday. Going to have a bikini wax and threading in preparation for a week away. I’ve got a lovely hotel with a rooftop pool and cocktails to enjoy with my friends.
Can’t wait.

@Justmuddlingalong proper karaoke would be grand but I'll sway my way through wonder wall with you in the taxi rank if we don't manage to do any better

@52andblue we will make them welcome

@Chalkcheese you're on.

I am not doing karaoke. I have a voice like a drain. Happy to clap along and hold the bags though

God I can't wait. I've actually got butterflies just reading this thread. What a bloody tonic it is. 🤗

Loveliest thread I’ve read in years.

Touch of the damp eyes too; all the ordinary things we’ve missed.

After you with that delicious lovely baby for a cuddle please.

Then a gazillion mojitos and a long debate about the books/bras we’ve all bought, and why.

Dinner/theatre/sweaty live gig/karaoke/night bus/Uber/prancing home in my stockings and swinging my shoes round my head.

Bring.it.on

Loving this thread! Can’t be home too late as got to get ready for the school run the next day, need to make sure I look fabulous when I skip through the school gates before heading off to the spa!

@SlipperTripper

I'll go to any shops, as long as I can leave the kids at home!

Just saw this 🤣
