AIBU to ask which non essential shop you'll be visiting tomorrow? (if in England)

[BruceAndNosh]

Will you be spending 3 hours queuing to get into IKEA and another 2 hours trying to pay?

I'm desperate for some fabric so Dunelm or John Lewis for me

None, will be working and have no desire to join the queues to get in.

Taking my ds to Loccitane to spend his birthday money, he's so excited 😂😂😂

Have you discovered Pound fabrics (online)?

Don’t laugh, I always look there first now, have bought some astonishing bargains. Usually deliver in a day or two.

None, I'm going to let it settle down for a couple of weeks. I volunteer in one of the big chain charity shops and can confirm they are all opening tomorrow. I'm not going back till after 2nd jab.

Curtain shop and sugarcraft shop tomorrow for an unexpected order.

Working newly reopened retail Tuesday- God help me.

Self isolating for 14 days from Wednesday for a hospital procedure

I’m at work so none. Hoping to get my eyebrows done at the weekend

None of them - nothing I really need at the moment.

I'm working tomorrow and CBA to try to get into anywhere at lunch time.

Friday though I am going into town to look for shoes!

None.

I'm leaving it for a few weeks. I have no desire to be inside with loads of other people and risk picking up covid now (lone parent and I can't afford to get ill). I'm going back to supermarket collections for a bit.

I'm taking my DD17 into town and were going clothes shopping and then she's getting her nails done and I'm getting a pedicure and were both getting our eyebrows done and I've booked us a table at one of our favourite restaurants and we can't wait!

I do need to return shelving back to zikea, but having slipped a disc ill have to wait a few weeks until I csn lift heavy items again.

So yes I was going to, but now I'm not.

Probably a good thing if I wait as I'm sure queues for returns will be long

I might attempt to drop some stuff off at the charity shop. Otherwise I'm leaving everything else for a week or two.

Dunelm would probably be the first stop because I need a new dinner service and I've seen one on their website that I like, but I'd like to see it in the flesh really.

I’m going to get a new foundation and going to the pub for lunch

Wish I had a hair appointment but can’t get in for a couple of weeks yet

It's not shops i want to visit but cafés. I normally meet friends for breakfast two of three times a week after school drop off and before work. That precious hour to talk with an adult, get the latest gossip and just chat about anything. We've been doing it via houseparty or WhatsApp but its not the same and all too easy to forget or be busy doing something else. Plus I miss my ham amd cheese croissants! So can't wait til we can sit in cafés and restaurants again.

I think I'll leave it for a few days as it'll be heaving, but I'm desperate to go to Primark!
Ds and I both need new clothes and just can't find anything decent in the supermarkets and none of our sizes available online, also on a budget so that's the best place to go. Not sure what shops will still be open on the high street now though, so don't think there will be much choice out there

None, I’m at work.

Sports direct, Dh has no socks lfet without holes in and we've both worn out our hiking boots.

I don't need anything non-essential, so it will be WFH as usual.

I know we can do it outside but my faves don't have outdoor seating and it can be a bit too chilly yet!

Sticking with Amazon for the foreseeable future. I'd be more interested in going to the pub but the majority are staying closed in this area.

None, we live in a small town that doesn't have much more than the ones that have been open all along, like B and M, Home Bargains, Boots, Savers.

The big second hand book reseller - both to drop off a couple of big boxes of books and collect more to replace them.

Bookshops should definitely have been made an essential retailer

None but I have to go to my hairdresser to have a colour test before I can have it done later in the week! They are making everybody who has colour take a test as it's been so long since it was used!! Cannot wait to not look like a badger any more!

None. They’ll be packed!

The only thing I desperately need is a summer school jacket for my 10 yr old (couldn’t find anything in his size online) but he’ll have to go back in his winter jacket tomorrow anyway so it can wait til the end of the week when the initial run on the shops is hopefully over.

To all the people mentioning decathlon.
I tried to order a kite online, to collect in an hour. (This was yesterday).
The online thing kept crashing. So I decided to go to the store and ask them for help with online order. Was quite prepared to wait an hour in my car if needed.
Walked up to the security man on the door. Paused and said good morning. He said good morning, in you go. Sanitiser on the left.
It was open. As a "normal" shop. As in, shop alone, keep 2m apart..
So anybody considering decathlon; it might be worth checking your local one today, before the madness of tomorrow.
