With non essential shops now planning to open on 15th June, where do you plan on visiting first?

For me, it's John Lewis! I'm 26 weeks pregnant and starting to purchase bits for baby.

Primark! I need new leggings Grin

Spied · 26/05/2020 20:45

TK Maxx.

I want it all! Clothes, beauty, footwear, home stuff....

SantaMonicaPier · 26/05/2020 20:46

I'm really not sure, I'll be avoiding the bus for the foreseeable and don't have a lot of choice locally...I'm more excited about restaurants which I know will be a while longer yet!

bettertimesarecomingnow · 26/05/2020 20:48

None! I've spent so much online recently that I'm going for no spend!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/05/2020 20:49

John Lewis for me too. But if they operate a one way system it might take hours, especially if you’re following 2m behind a slowcoach??

Waxonwaxoff0 · 26/05/2020 20:49

Clarks. DS is in desperate need of some new decent shoes!

nancy75 · 26/05/2020 20:52

Dd & her friends are desperate to get to Primark (they are 14) I have to admit I’m not really that fussed, can’t think of anywhere.
I have been going out doing food shopping so I’m not as deprived of shops as Dd!

ParkheadParadise · 26/05/2020 20:52

I'm in Scotland, so no shops opening soon but when they do
Primark
John Lewis
Local beauty salon nails + wax
Hairdressers
Boots
McDonald's

Rayna37 · 26/05/2020 20:52

I'm not too bothered now I've realised it's likely we won't be able to try anything on. I'd like Clarks for DS shoes and some decent jeans and tshirts myself but only if I can try on; otherwise it's not much better than buying online!

CountessFrog · 26/05/2020 20:53

John Lewis. Then some more John Lewis. In fact, I’ll take a flask and lunchbox. You won’t get me out.

Catlover10 · 26/05/2020 20:56

No idea what they’d be classed under and when they could safely open but I’m looking forward to going to a zoo/farm/wildlife park again!

sociallydistained · 26/05/2020 20:57

I can't face the thought of all the social distanced queues and I'm liking saving money so I think none for a good few months (hopefully)

LaurieFairyCake · 26/05/2020 20:59

It just looks like such a horrible shopping experience Sad

All of it

CatBatCat · 26/05/2020 21:01

Lush, I only need 1 thing and p&p is half as much as the item itself.

Aposterhasnoname · 26/05/2020 21:02

A baby shop to buy their entire stock for my first grandchild due in August.

Hagisonthehill · 26/05/2020 21:03

Shoe shop.Dd and I both need spring/summers shoes.I only have Sandler's she only has canvas ones falling apart.
We need something for when the summer rain starts.Tried online bit shoes are tricky.

BruceAndNosh · 26/05/2020 21:03

John Lewis as I've got £200 worth of curtains bought a week before lockdown which I need to retirn

imsooverthisdrama · 26/05/2020 21:06

I can't be arsed with the queuing so none , I'm only going to the supermarket because I need food & wine. I could do with going to B&Q but again the queuing is putting me off .
The hairdressers and nail salon I'll be going ASAP when open but that's not till July .

cyclingmad · 26/05/2020 21:11

None, can you imagine travelling to the shops, faffing bout queuing to get in, then follow one way system to get to the rack and only to find they dont have your size. Or what if your not sure and you cant use changing rooms cos not allowed so have to buy sizes either side and then have to return them.

Feck that I'd rather save my time and order online. Least only queue I'd have to be in is the post office!

BellaVita · 26/05/2020 21:17

None.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 26/05/2020 21:27

3 mobile because I treated myself to a new handset 2 weeks ago, I've never bought one upfront and it was a lot of money. During the switch from old to new, my kitten picked up the SIM card I'd laid on the table and crunched through the middle of it with her sharp little fangs. So I have had no phone for 2 weeks and I want to use my new iPhone!

Kcnana · 26/05/2020 21:31

@TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront Great shout! I think this would be my next stop for some oversized nighties that don't cost a fortune!

@ParkheadParadise I've been watching announcements from McDonald's praying that they open our local franchise next! Imagine a Mcflurry in this weather... If the machines work for a change! 😂

None! Have also spent a fortune online and I hate queuing.

formerbabe · 26/05/2020 21:34

H&M
Primark
Sports direct
Tk max
Smyth's toys according to my DD

Both the dc and I need some summer clothes and I need trainers

lyingwanker · 26/05/2020 21:39

I cannot wait for a Big Mac meal! I don't even busy McDonalds that often but I'm really craving one lately.

Other than that, I don't know if I can be bothered with all the queues. I love shopping and wandering round all the different shops but it takes most of the enjoyment out of it having to queue for so long.
