Goodbye high street clothes shopping. Hello Amazon.

My resolution is to use GN less. It's going well as you can see.

Team Amazon here too with a Prime account, 5 Firesticks, 2 Fire tablets, and an Echo. I've been shopping online for years though - long before Amazon. I started crafting and became addicted to watching a well known shopping craft channel although even before that I was buying dolls house items off different websites.

I still loved to go into shops especially for clothes but haven't been out shopping since Dec 2019 apart from food. Now we have moved we don't have access to the big shopping centres any more so online is even more important. Today I've had a huge bag of cat litter and a box of cat food delivered

Well, me too.
I need to do something more constructive, like clearing the attic, but it's too chilly up there.

Callistemon when I moved here in 1996, the loft was filled with stuff from the loft in my previous house so I decided I wanted an empty loft and over time I achieved it. The loft is empty and my garden shed so tidy I can actually find items.

The house is the exact opposite but work is in progress.

No I mean being all on one team or all on the other. With no nuance. That's what's part of our problems at the moment, no nuance all baddies and goodies. I use Amazon it was the concept of being team anything that I was talking about. Still not sure if I have made myself clearer

Good point Galaxy nothing (well few things) are all bad or all good, whether mobile phones, internet shopping (Amazon or not) artisan bakers or Aldi.
I think it was simplistic to blame all the ills of the High Street on Amazon , as the rot had set in years ago (as instanced) and the bottom line for me is to make things work for me not to be their slave. Harking back to the good old days of a cosy High Street of individual shops is in any case a myth.
60 years ago my small town had a limited selection of shops, and you regularly heard the refrain”we’ll have to order that in”. So for a wider selection you got the bus to the nearest bigger town 5 miles away and for major purchases you went to Edinburgh, 40 miles away and a sick-making rattling bus journey of over an hour. And yes, there were those who “blamed” the limited selection of the local shops on the greater choice in the city. Twas ever thus. I suspect.
So as I can’t go to shops other than food shops (and even then I prefer online at the moment) I will use Amazon for convenience - similarly my car over cycling, iPad over “real” books (no more shelf space) and make do with Netflix over going to the cinema, so if I am in a “team” that only means I will subscribe to a method of shopping instead of demonising it.

We emptied the loft once Charleygirl, when we had more insulation put down, but unfortunately twice as much as crept back again. It's partly boarded, with large shelves which was a mistake!

Amazon is not nuanced- It's blatant- Therefore, there is nothing nuanced about an Amazon customer either- Every purchase represents support-

You seem to have missed the point Rosecarmel or perhaps things are different in the US- although I suspect not.

Probably

Callistemon my loft is boarded but thankfully I did not have shelves fitted as I did in the shed and each one there is full, naturally of necessary items untouched for years1
