Will any of you be tempted to go shopping today?

Is there one particular shop you have been missing and can't wait to visit?

I would love to go to Homesense but I've got my grandchildren today so no shopping for me

Hairdresser tomorrow and I can't wait

I met a friend for lunch and afterwards we just popped into TKMaxx in the out of town retail park. No queueing there either. I got a Kipling bag reduced to £15 for my next whenever it may be holiday!
Previously this morning I walked to my local shops and bought flowers from the florist and a dress from a charity shop. It was lovely to have a buzz around the place again.

I'm in no hurry to join the throngs.

Hello, GNers.

Dozens of South African variants around and whether the vaccines will work against this nobody knows.

No, not yet. I will wait for the initial madness to calm down.

They were on about it on the radio this morning and I did think why on earth have they opened things up when they 'don't know'

I agree EV 14 areas have rising infections (Sky news just now). Not that I’m particularly going shopping, I’m an inveterate online shopper and btw car sharing is banned unless on the exempt list, it counts as indoors.
