Same i don't drive so it's easier for me to get to Liverpool, I do love Manchester and the Trafford Centre though. My sister lives in Manchester so when we visit we usually go shopping!Same! I live in between Liverpool and Manchester so just go there, I find there’s more choice in Manchester though
Thank you for sharing your secretsThank youShouldn’t be sharing my secrets
but check out their jewellery online and instore, I’ve got loads of this stuff from there - and most of it is still sold on the HN Website!
I’ll check it out!!
That’s aceI went back today...promise we left stuff for other people
I love a bargain! TK Maxx is my bargain go-to, managed to get a visit in last week before I did my ankle in.
I second this! I’ve had Ugg slippers for years now and they last a very long time. Very warm and comfy
And! They’ve been reducing stuff from winter because they were shut. I got this jewellery from there - currently full price in Harvey Nics - I paid £12.99Oh I haven’t been to TK maxx yet! They’re amazing for year round bargains
I love a barg, what did you get?? I think it will be gone forever by the time I’m out!It must be the weekend for it as yesterday I cracked my ankle bone and tore some ligamentsGutted, I’d booked a day off in the next couple of weeks to go and explore the shops for the first time in months, I was soooo excited! I’ve only gone and broken my ankle todaygoing nowhere!!!
I hope you get comfier soon!
Oh no way! How did you do it? I was in a gym class, I was loving being back tooIt must be the weekend for it as yesterday I cracked my ankle bone and tore some ligaments
hope you’re up and about soon xx
Countless home bits (they had lovely Denby plate sets on sale), towels, candles, and some good quality professional clothes! I also got about 7 bras, they are amazing for bigger bust bras!Hi @Scorpihoe
I asked a sales assistant there and she said they’re staying open til mid May (unless they sell everything first, then they’re closing early)
Thermals = M&S have a good range for men and women or you could try Uniqlo.Hey all! Thought I'd resurrect this in hopes of some suggestions in case anyone has any tips this year for where to shop for:
Really soft thermals
Soy or coconut wax candles with good throw (preferably with Christmassy scents)
Good slippers with strong soles
How do you wash these though? I saw online someone washed them in a bag in the washing machine and they turned out fine. Mine didn't though..
I'd really recommend WXY Candles. They are plant based (soy wax) and reasonably priced IMO. The aesthetics of the candle is on point too; minimalist and sleek (definitely something you'd genuinely want to 'recycle' as a pen holder or whatever once the candle runs out). I bought my one on their website, but I think Next and Debenhams sell them too.Hey all!

It's not been well reported it, but I heard about it (I think someone on here mentioned it on another thread) and checked up - it's in the retail trade press so it's definitely true. They might not do it in all shops but I bet bigger shops will open up the changing rooms, I can imagine the retail industry has been pushing for it. All the returns processing must be driving them mad too!Brilliant, thanks for that info. I thought it would be ages before they opened the changing rooms up again. Only problem is it will make my shopping trips longer with all the trying on
Changing rooms are reopening again when the shops open tomorrow. I am really pleased about this as not being able to try things on and having to return things was really annoying. Being able to try things on before you buy them is one the main advantages the High St has over online shopping, so it makes sense to get them open.
I love shopping and generally prefer to shop in person rather than online so I'm pretty excited about the shops reopening. I do think the restrictions have sucked a lot of the fun out of shopping though, not being able to stop for a coffee or even take a seat anywhere makes for a dull and tiring shopping trip, but we need to start somewhere. I'll give it a week to calm down before I go to the shops but it settled down pretty quickly last time. I avoid shopping in Manchester city centre and the Trafford Centre in the school holidays anyway.
I've been through my summer clothes and have a list of things I'd like to buy to update my wardrobe, and I also want to go to Ikea for a particular pillow. I am booked in at the beautician tomorrow, the hairdresser on Saturday and a massage next Monday, so I've got more than enough to keep me occupied for the time being
Changing rooms it's down to the store/company. They are allowed too. I know some shops will not be re-opening the changing rooms yet.Changing rooms are reopening again when the shops open tomorrow.
