Freedom to shop

Def not today, or even this week, and I love shopping? will be far too busy for me, I’ll wait till the first surge is over, but def planning what I need/want, TKMaxx, see you there Redhead56

To be honest I can’t think of anything worse than rushing to the shops and undoing a years work.

I hate shopping, always have. I’m with BillyBob and will just head to the library next week after the rush.

No. Not just yet. I'm having my second vaccination tomorrow, and will wait for that to take effect. Also , prefer to wait until the new school term begins.
But I must pop in the library as I have two books here which are massively overdue.

I intend to venture into town at some point this week as I do wish to support the shops.

Shopping is not really something I do for fun.

Shopping is not what I've missed - what I've really missed is eating in a restaurant.

No! I was going swimming but I've heard that the queues to get into town were already ridiculous by 9am so I'll maybe wait a few days. I do have a hair appointment booked for Wednesday so I'll obviously need to leave plenty of time to get into town & hopefully find a parking spot.

I detest shopping. I have shopped online for years.

I love what we used to call 'window shopping', just browsing the shops to see what's new in, and what's been reduced. However, it's going to be a long time before I feel confident enough to go to big shops, even though I've had both jabs now. Slow steps - dentist last week, hairdresser today, beautician tomorrow.

Absolutely not today......

There are two or three shops I'm looking forward to visiting, but that will wait until a couple of weeks after my second jab this week. I will feel considerably safer then.

I'm not particularly keen on walking round the larger stores - it will take me a while to feel comfortable with that.

No way not in a rush but I look forward to going for a browse around TK Maxx.

Our localTMx, shares the car park with our local Sainsbury. When I drove there for my normal weekly shop early this morning, I was astonished to see very long queues outside of TMax. They were still there, and just as long when I had finished my shopping and drove out of the car park. Having never been to one of those shops, I am now wondering what I am missing.

I am looking forward, on Wednesday, to a trip to my nearst CareCo. to have a look and try out of their recliner/riser chairs.

Shopping for a sofa but not today - hairdo today yipee!!!

Not going to the shops or hairdressers (although desperately needed) until the rush dies down a bit, I’ve a feeling it’s going to be mad out there

Love to shop but have a feeling that it will be extremely busy for the first week or two so will keep well away!

Went to Kingston, not that busy in John Lewis, but had to queue for Fabricland. Haircut this evening! Felt quite safe.

For car travel aren't the recommendations to sit in the back, both driver and passenger wear a mask (one passenger!), have windows open sanitise hands entering and on leaving vehicle. You aren't being unreasonable, its your friends who is.

No way am I going shopping for a couple of weeks when the crowds will have dispersed a bit. My husband said every barber had at least 10 people waiting outside and he was tickled because he said most of the people waiting didn't look like they needed a trim.

Not a keen shopper at the best of times. Had my second jab on Saturday so will wait a fortnight for maximum protection to build. Will then venture out carefully, masked and sanitised, for some paint and shelf brackets.
Could do with some larger sized clothes but will wait and see if I can lose some lockdown pounds first.

Whitewave I agree, silly to possibly undo a year of sensible measures for the sake of a car share. Good idea to stay local so that all can get there under their own steam.
I’m planning to wait for warmer weather before lunching out with friends, all arriving separately of course.

I 'm not a shopper either. Go into shops and don't know what to look at. I've got all the clothes I shall ever need and everything for house and kitchen

So I'll just continue haunting my local garden centre. It's nice just to wander around looking a
t the plants.

I am in no rush to get to the shops. I like a browse around the charity shops although lockdown has shown me that I buy items in the shops as they seem such a bargain and most of the time I do not need them, managing without the shops and charity shops has cut down on so much stuff being hung up and half the time not used. My son always told me that I buy items that I do not need how right he was.

No, I've no plans as yet will see how things go. Not actually been into a shop for over a year, apart from garden centres. Have been keeping the delivery drivers busy though!

No. Apart from the supermarket I hate shopping. I am not interested in clothes and I have everything I need for my home. So no the shops don't hold any pull for me.

No one has turned a switch and said no more Covid .. I dont have that level of confidence yet that its safe to do anything more than meet two or three outdoors and try to keep socially distanced. I'm not rushing to shops. I'm not keen to go anywhere thats busy. I am guessing everyone will make their own judgements on what they feel is safe for themselves and others but sadly I am not confident yet that we should all mingle.

No. Nor tomorrow, or the day after. I'm quite happy to continue shopping online until we've (all) had both vaccine jabs and this 'plague' is greatly reduced.
