Just seen a NEWS report on the shops that have reopened

I will wait til the mad rush dies down before even attempting to go to shops! I get anxious with shops at the best of times!

No thanks, there is nothing I need so desperately, but there again, I have never seen the fun of shopping just for the sake of it anyway.

I have been waiting to return something for 2 months- might brave the shops later with mask and gloves.
I heard there were queues outside Selfridges on hour before it was due to open. Good luck to these people.

I've been on a recce - retail is back with a bang there were queues outside Nike & Lululemon!

Peter Jones not yet open but the window dressers were at work - I'll be making a visit there but won't join a long queue.

I think it's better to wait for it to calm down a bit after the initial excitement. Apparently a queue formed outside Nottingham Primark two hours before opening.

We probably belong in either one of two groups. We're either champing at the bit and are eager to go shopping or we don't feel any enthusiasm as the longer we've gone without things the more we realise we can go without.

cares cars!

I have heard a rumour that there was an immense queue of cares at the Cheshire Oaks outlet centre because someone lost the key to the gates.

I have set myself a challenge, not to buy any new clothes or shoes for the remainder of the year. I have far too many of everything anyway, even after a good sort out.
Whether I'll stick to it is another matter. ?Love an on line bargain.

I’ve just come back from Hobbycraft and Been and Queued. Both places good as I knew what I wanted but as usual for me I always come out with a bit more than I went for at Hc and I did add some houseplants in B&Q.

I was wondering how the charity shops were going to be safely opened? can’t keep putting stuff away as often no stockroom. What about donations? Leave in a sack for a week?
I think it’s a bit of a minefield, masks and gloves at the ready!
Not for me though I’m staying home.

Don't all rush at once!!

I may not be going for some time, Mick, how about you?
