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

And you?

The physio. I’m in dire need of treatments. Waking is getting more and more painful. Thank god I bought a really good massage machine last year!

Any clothes shops will do me. I started a vlcd at the start of lockdown and am now 22lbs down and all my jeans make me look like MC Hammer!

I was envisioning emerging back into society like a beautiful butterfly not an ageing 80's hip hopper!

Oliversmumsarmy · 11/04/2020 22:07

Poundland is open near me.

I know because I went there to get some stuff and didn’t bother getting out of the car because the line was to get in was so long

Dontsayyouloveme · 11/04/2020 22:08

Ikea or B&Q!

Oliversmumsarmy · 11/04/2020 22:11

B&q is open for click and collect but to get on the website takes over an hour at least.

Yesterday I attempted and was 335000 in the queue and today they had closed down the queue altogether

Eyebrow threading place - my brows look like Denis Healey's.
My local cafe - really missing a decent cappuccino.

Greybutterfly · 11/04/2020 22:13

Woolworths -pick and mix

CoronaIsComing · 11/04/2020 22:13

Maccies and Primark. I’m so classy 😂 but DS (10) keeps getting his lovely clothes filthy in the garden and all his shorts from last summer look ridiculous!

Bitterglitter · 11/04/2020 22:14

B&Q closely followed by garden centre and the tip. Yes, I'm finally having a clear out, only problem is nowhere to clear the stuff out to!

JanewaysBun · 11/04/2020 22:15

Weirdly - flying tiger.

They have the best bubble mixture!

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 11/04/2020 22:17

Garden centre for me as well.

Also the tip.

livingmyslothlife · 11/04/2020 22:18

Primark I'm in desperate need of knickers. If the lockdown continues too long I'll be going commando. Can't justify delivery costs for them either as things are tighter than usual! not the knickers the elastic is stuffed

Talcott2007 · 11/04/2020 22:19

I'm in desperate need to get my eyebrows threaded! Along with getting a manicure every 3 or so weeks it's really the only 'beauty' stuff I do with any regularity. Managed to remove my gel polish myself the other day and always keep them quite short anyway so my nails look ok but my goodness my eyebrows have turned into two caterpillars desperately trying to mate across the bridge of my nose!

Thismummyruns · 11/04/2020 22:33

Terribly I would want Next. I had loads in my basket ready to order and then they stopped completely.
I miss Next, shamefully!

Ugzbugz · 11/04/2020 22:46

Pub!! And restaurants! And back to the footy and I am a woman FootballWine

whatswithtodaytoday · 11/04/2020 22:47

Garden centre and IKEA here too please! Being at home all the time is making me want to sort things out that I've ignored for years.

Armi · 11/04/2020 22:48

John Lewis or Waterstones.

shirleyschmidt · 11/04/2020 22:49

The head says hairdressers.
The heart wants Homesense or McDonalds 😍

SleepingStandingUp · 11/04/2020 22:51

MacDonalds. Judge away

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 11/04/2020 22:52

I am clearly a superficial cow

want hair and pedicure

so much

Flibbertyjibbit · 11/04/2020 22:52

Garden centre - compost, seed potatoes, seeds that I'd planned to pick up, grow bags, pots, fleece, canes for my peas, more compost, more seeds, bedding plants. I keep dreaming of a supermarket sweep style run throwing everything into my trolley .. Can you tell I'm missing my garden centre visits Grin

motortroll · 11/04/2020 22:54

M and S lingerie as I desperately need new bras!!

Growingboys · 11/04/2020 23:01
