I’d love to get some paint but I can’t think of anything else I need.
Seems that online shopping is booming. Am I missing out??‍♀️

More cat litter tray liners

My 500 ml empty spray bottle arrived today and not tomorrow but the crevasse brush has not and it is only coming 6 miles- not from China.

I've not bought anything but have spent time looking at sites for ideas for birthday & xmas presents for my GD & GGCs I will miss two of the birthdays sadly so we will have some catching up to do,the little ones will both be two one early May and the other mid May so really they don't know much difference and will both have a special day later on.

Won't the bubble bath and hand cream be in plastic containers? If so, it rather defeats your object of not using hand wash. ?

Or perhaps the more ethical companies are using pigeons with backpacks?

Greeneyedgirl Mon 06-Apr-20 11:44:33

Aren't Amazon using drones yet Callistemon?

Callistemon Mon 06-Apr-20 11:16:42

Greeneyedgirl amazing, isn't it!

Mind you, I think my orders are not exactly winging their way, more by tortoise.

However, that is perfectly understandable under the circumstances as they are all doing their utmost to get the huge volume of deliveries out to customers.

Greeneyedgirl Mon 06-Apr-20 09:56:30

I'm amazed that all this stuff is winging its way across the country and I can't even get a flippin grocery order!

Megs36 Mon 06-Apr-20 09:54:03

Just ordered a washbasin for my new downstairs cloakroom!
Finally found a builder to quote for this work, only to have my plans put on hold yet again because of the current situation.
So my husband has decided he can probably install the washbasin, though the toilet will have to wait.
But it's a start as it's off the hall, and will be better as we'll be able to wash our hands as soon as we enter the house, rather than using the kitchen sink or going upstairs.

Ballet shoes, socks, leotard and skirt, for Gdd’s birthday. And a children’s ballet class DVD, since she won’t be able to start classes until goodness knows when.

Knitting wool for something I want to make.

Sundry nice things to eat and drink for both dds and their blokes, for Easter.

Anniebach Sun 05-Apr-20 21:47:08

Nothing, having to wash the cardboard and or plastic too difficult.
