The old one filled up before we could link a new one but here we are.

Will be interesting today indeed. I have to go down to Tenby to collect something. I wouldn’t but it it is a special birthday gift for someone. Expecting it to be busy.

Just had a look at A55 traffic cameras, very quiet. Thinking no-one is rushing back to the shops today

Yes, it's no accident that the shops have reopened when most people are at work or back at school. The weekend it's going to be heaving though.

Tenby was reasonably quiet thankfully. The only shop that seemed to have queues was Peacocks.

I think that parts of England still have a week left of the Easter holidays. Rhyl station was heaving now that the holiday camps have reopened. Chester gridlocked too.

Went shopping with DD this afternoon
There was a queue outside Debenhams ( I think it’s a one day closing sale ) but we didn’t want to go in there anyway
Nowhere too busy , had to queue to pay in H & M , but Boots , M& S , TK Maxx all fine
Sports Direct was busy , parents and kids getting black shoes and sports kit for schools
Just so nice to have a bit of normality 👍

Maybe the cafés, pubs, restaurants being closed still means a shopping trip is a bit boring, unless you can take a break. Last time was much busier.

@justasking111 we can’t wait for a shopping n lunch outing !

I went to passed a sports direct and there was a steady stream of people coming out with shoe boxes. I've got a fitting booked at Clarks tomorrow for my youngest.

Anyone in Cardiff? Just so you know, over 30s can now book the jab! I booked mine this morning and was done within ten minutes!

My husband is 47 and hasn't had his yet (Pembrokeshire)

Where does it say that Jesus? Couldn't see anything on the c and v website

I'm on the continent. Our shops were closed in November and are now appointment only. No cafes totally took the fun out of an afternoon shopping when you can't take a rest and a cup of tea, but people still did it. We still had really full shopping streets and malls.

@thevassal my DH (over 40) had his on Monday and asked if there were any jabs going spare, and the nurse told him I could just call and book as they were taking over 30s now. I'm in Pentwyn mind you - don't know if it's the same for all Cardiff?

Ah im very close to pentwyn (waves) I'll give it a go! Thanks!

Good luck! I'm sure you know but it's 02921841234. I couldn't get through on Monday evening, but tried the next morning and got through straight away - only 19 ahead of me in the queue.

I've got one at four today! Great stuff, thanks so much!

Woohoo!! Fantastic! I had the AZ btw, at the leisure centre.

yep I went to the leisure centre too. it was very quiet and really quick! I didn't tell them "Jesus told me to come," thought it sounded as though I'd had a celestial message rather than a MN one!

Tbf you don't know I'm not the real Jesus... Anonymous forum and all that.

They posted today asking only those 40+ to call the booking line. Anyone younger should fill in the reserve form that is online.

@whitestarflower oops

Wales has now given the first dose to 50.07% of the WHOLE population.

Great news 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Amazing!!

Also - there's a chance we may get a decision today on indoor hospitality, as a restaurant has applied for a judicial review of the WAG restrictions and the deadline for a response is 4pm today. Fingers crossed!
