If just one non-essential shop could open again for one day...

[lljkk]

What would you choose it to be?
I reckon most MNers will vote for hairdresser.
I want swimming pool.

And you?

I went to the range just before lockdown. In fact there are reports it might be open still but I’m not trusting it but I’d get...

Stuff to make my kids birthdays feel like fun
Craft stuff
Outdoor furniture
Things for the pets
Compost, tubs, seeds, etc,
Easter eggs

Etc

I felt guilty as I spent £80 that trip, now I wish I’d doubled it.

It’d be Ikea for me for a browse and Chuck of the kids jn Smalland!

Costa for a coconut cappuccino / flat white

Ikea!

But hairdressers would also be good

Primark and the pub...I feel like I'm much classier than what my answer suggests

Some where like home base/ b & q. I would like garden plants and just a general mooch but also some paint!

Hotel chocolat. I love to pretend to browse until they bring the free sample tray around.

Swimming pool
Shop Smiggle I’d have a blow out.

Primark here too! At the end of last summer I threw away all sandals, white knickers and other cheap summer clothing that had seen better days thinking I’d just pop to Primark around this time. And now I don’t have any sandals to wear or knickers for under my floaty summer dresses

B and q and the tip.
Or john lewis

Marks and Spencer

Costa

TK Maxx - I love a good mooch in tkmaxx. I also need my nails doing desperately but more than either of those I just want the restaurants open again.

Lockdown has made me realise how often we eat out!

@LuxuryWoman2020 Poundland is still open

IKEA, primark and the tip! Also want the pub open for a nice meal after :)

Chisholm Hunter where my bling is currently on lockdown.

Primark- I want some new summer clothes and obviously have very limited funds due to be furloughed and my husband being self employed.

Out of interest as a salon based hairdresser, having seen soooo many people moaning about the state of their hair, how long after restrictions are lifted will you feel comfortable coming into the salon, as obviously it's a very close contact service, some of my colleagues think we're gong to be rushed off our feet but I'm not so sure, as I think people will be wary because of the whole social distancing thing being ingrained by then.

A lot of garden centres around me are doing not contact home deliveries.

Pool! specifically the outdoor pool in Hathersage.

@Anniecott I’ve already told my nail bar and hairdresser I’ll be in as soon as it’s lifted. I was in both the weekend before we went into lockdown so I don’t feel any more worried than I did then.
I assume that would be different if you have lots of elderly or vulnerable customers however

Charity shops
Next
Garden centres
My local curry house.

If I could only pick one, curry house hands down 🙂

@Anniecott I want to be at the front of the queue when hairdressers are allowed to reopen.

Hairdresser would be good but not a shop.

I'd actually vote for Argos, and I think they could be open now, as their way of operating is very low risk.

Any garden centre.

It's April, I have seedlings coming out of my ears and not enough soil. I need a lot and getting it from a supermarket will just get me lynched.

Garden centre/diy shop,

The irony is not lost on me that while lockdown has spurred me on to sort our garden out properly, I can’t actually get the stuff I need to do it 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Anniecott
I will be making an appointment the minute my local hairdresser re opens.
But some of my friends are wary and want to watch and wait..

Jo Malone. It’s completely over-the-top frivolous and luxurious and I love it. I’d have one of their hand and arm massages and have a very important and in-depth discussion about fragrance layering. I miss it hugely.

And the hairdressers. I had no idea I was THIS grey.
