Clarks or Startrite for measuring.

DD has started walking during lockdown and I need her feet measured so I can buy her some shoes to allow her towalk outside.

Bastards on eBay are selling gauges for £40!!

Schools opening even half a day a week so I get a tiny bit of time to myself!

twilightermummy · 10/05/2020 18:27

Hairdressers and Dentists to reopen and travel with an actual holiday at the other side. That would be the dream.

Concerned7777 · 10/05/2020 18:29

I will definitely be the 1st in the queue when school opens my dc have not coped mentally or emotionally with lockdown they are desperate for normality and socialising with peers.
To be fair they are probably as sick of seeing my face as I am of them Grin

I'd love to be able to travel a bit for my exercise so I could see some green fields or the seaside.

yellowbrickwhorl · 10/05/2020 18:32

I need to see my osteopath. The pain is starting to get a bit much now.

GreyGardens88 · 10/05/2020 18:33

To be able to do outdoor hobbies and pursuits

maria860 · 10/05/2020 18:35

I would love to get my kids haircuts they look like the boy band Hanson right now

The dog groomer for our giant black mop that used to be a cocker spaniel, and/or the barber to put right what I did to my son's hair before there's any risk of him seeing his friends. Actually, the dog groomer could probably do both - she certainly wouldn't make a worse job of DS than I did!

I hope more clarity over who should be back at work - explicit statements that shops, restaurants, hairdressers etc can open provided social distancing is observed/ no more than x people per square metre etc. That would do wonders for the economy and provide much more clarity than a vague “work from home if you can” message. A lot of businesses are under a lot of pressure from their employees to stay shut and I think the government should be more explicit about who should be open.

On a personal level, pubs. We also have a family business in this industry.

LaurieFairyCake · 10/05/2020 18:37

Open my gym so I can walk properly by doing aqua aerobics and using my physio (instead I'm limping like Long John Silver)

thunderthighsohwoe · 10/05/2020 18:38

Grandparent childcare has got to be very high on a lot of working parents’ wishlists by now - it’s top of mine

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 10/05/2020 18:38

@morelikeaclubsandwich Grin pre-lockdown we would constantly say, oh, we must go to a restaurant again... but never actually get round to it. NEVER saying that again.

CherryStoneTree · 10/05/2020 18:39

Being allowed to visit family and sit in the garden, or meet up socially distancing in a park etc

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 10/05/2020 18:39

I just want to have a nice meal cooked by a chef, not cooked by me and not a take away.

Didthatreallyhappen2 · 10/05/2020 18:39

Anyone that can cut both my hair and the dog's ...
