I’ve had a great day, went shopping even wearing my horrible mask it was worth it. Just wondering around the shops buying treats etc.
Also bit of excitement saw someone change their top down to their bra in the street Confused just after she had shopliftedShock. I missed her shoplifting as I was getting served. But she nearly knocked my DD over in her haste to run awayAngry

I believe that ‘staff canteens’ have been open throughout. Of course that includes the ‘staff canteen’ at the House of Commons.

I went to a shop yesterday and did a big update on clothes for my sprouting offspring. I'd forgotten to take a bag so had armfuls of stuff. At least not wearing a mask, I'd be bloody stupid and brazen if I was shop lifting that lot! I made sure we had the lengthy reciept visible Grin

She shoplifted a sandwich from Greggs!! I mean a sandwich. My DD said do you think she changed her top so people wouldn’t recognise herConfused. I think she was well know to the staff.
It’s ridiculous that they won’t let you have a free bag isn’t it. I always get my receipt at the self service check out, I’m terrified that I’m going to have no proof of payment Blush

DS2 shoplifted a bottle of Fanta from Greggs when he was 3 Grin

The staff were amused that I marched him back and made him put it back in a fridge.

Just been asked to a baby shower. Asked to take a lateral flow test before to keep mum to be safe. Not sure how I feel about that. Not sure I really wanted to go anyway. I think that might make my mind up.

TabbyStar · 16/04/2021 13:55

My DD takes a lateral flow test before seeing my DM, it's all performative but whatever! I think I would feel pissed off about being mandated to take a test, but it would depend how much i actually wanted to go to the event....

dingit · 16/04/2021 13:59

Not only that mum to be has been all over the place, indoors and out, from her Instagram 🙄
