Lakeside shopping - anybody been yet?
Im thinking of heading over there tomorrow or Thursday as I have quite a pile of online orders to return now the shops are open.
Anybody been? How was it? I’d like to pop into Primark if it isn’t to busy but also need to go to the retail park for Dunelm, George etc. I’m hoping by waiting a week the initial rush might have died down a bit. |

We were there today. It’s busy but only queues I saw were for Zara, and Primark. There weren’t that many people waiting though.
Had a coffee at M&S and sat outside in their little seating area. It almost felt like normal. 😻 |

* Update * Girls Day Out (Me and Katie, my sons GF)
Just back, we arrived at 10:30, was not too busy, got in a light snake style queue for Primark, felt like queuing for theme park! Bit disappointed with selection of pyjamas, was mostly long sleeved (not for hot flushes) or teeny weeny skimpy shorts and vests, but I found one pair of Chuppa Chups lolly short sleeved long bottomed cotton ones. And a Stitch washing up sponge, minnie mouse shopping list pad, and some cute Stitch stationery. Next stop Disney store, who were playing Moanas ‘how far I’ll go’ which promptly had me welling up in the shop, how embarrassing! I dont know why! Just that Disney feeling that I have missed I guess. Only got a mini shopper bag, (another one as I have six already) and a Dumbo pencil case, but was great just to be there. We then headed to Five Guys for lunch, a first for my sons GF, But we couldnt eat in, so headed for my car, dumped our bags, wiped our hands and anti bacced them ready for the feast. It was delicious as always! And good to sit down. The take away for safety feature is lost in lakeside as many where simply taking it out into the mall, standing up somewhere and eating inside anyway. We queued an eternity for Zara, and there were many beautiful high fashion items I loved, so colourful and trendy but not my style, (am a middle aged teletubby) so didnt buy anything. Last stop New Look, where Katie filled a bag, with some great dresses and tops. We then dedcided we had shopped enough and came home. Was good to go out!

I was also at Lakeside today, got to Primark at 0800am, no queue and not busy at all. Had a good look round but I was there to get the children’s things - socks, pants, t shirts etc, only 2 people in front of me to pay. We also popped to a couple of other shops before we left, it was very quiet. Then headed to Costco, a bit of a queue but got in within 20 minutes so not to bad. Then went to Asda, TK Maxx before heading home. I was a little worried about going but so pleased I went early (got the idea from Claire after reading about her trip last week) then spent the afternoon in the garden!
