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

And you?

@Anniecott
So I will be their canary down the pit so to speak 😂
Personally I think hairdressers etc will be very busy as soon as they re open.

Legoandloldolls · 11/04/2020 20:13

IKEA. Or shoot me but Primark, I want some some comfy socks and pjs that pass as daywear 😭😭

kingis · 11/04/2020 20:14

Pub and homebargains.

The tip. Every room I look in, I see stuff I want to get rid of.

@gamerchick
B&Q are operating a click and collect service in my area, they also deliver. You may be able to get compost from them.

Probably hairdressers l, but possibly the jewellers where I’ve had a ring made which I’ve bought with inheritance from my grandma. It’s ready for collection, but they closed before I could go there. It’s a toss up between there and the hairdressers as am due to give birth soon and I’m going to look particularly shit in the photos with new baby and I hate having my photo taken at the best of times.

Oohh hard one
McDonald’s
Our local park cafe
Starbucks

skankingpiglet · 11/04/2020 20:21

Swimming pool. It's the only thing DCs and I love that we can't recreate at home at all.

If I could have a second it would be the builder's merchants so we can get some ballast and bags of cement delivered for our shed base. We have the shed already, and the base's frame is now in ready to pour the concrete.

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 11/04/2020 20:23

@Snaleandthewhail The Range is still open, as is B&M

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 11/04/2020 20:25

I would need the tip also, have cleared out so much crap but it's all I can see and it needs gone

Krazykitty · 11/04/2020 20:31

@cologne4711 If you have a large Sainsburys near you with an Argos inside, then they are still open

Warmhandscoldheart · 11/04/2020 20:32

Matalan
Book stall on local market

Couchbettato · 11/04/2020 20:32

Definitely IKEA

AliBear90 · 11/04/2020 20:34

Ikea or next or actually primark

bengalcat · 11/04/2020 20:35

My blowdry bar and or the threading / brow tint bar

lauryloo · 11/04/2020 20:36

Primark

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and of course had left the hospital bag to the last minute.

Chesneyhawkes1 · 11/04/2020 20:36

Eyelash and nail place!

TowerRingInferno · 11/04/2020 20:37

Garden centre

Noworrieshere · 11/04/2020 20:37

Waterstones. I would love a good mooch round a bookshop. And it would be a bonus if the cafe was open too. Waterstones cafe late in the evening is so peaceful and calm, I really miss it.

BikeRunSki · 11/04/2020 20:39

I’d go to the optician’s, have my eye test and get new glasses. I had an appointment booked on lockdown Monday, but they’d already closed.

Ifeelinclined · 11/04/2020 20:39

The hairdresser. The second lockdown is lifted, I will be making an appointment. I've also texted her the same!

Coffeecak3 · 11/04/2020 20:41

A nail bar. My weak awful nails look dreadful.

BikeRunSki · 11/04/2020 20:41

A lot of garden centres and builders merchants near me are delivering.
