Staying at home.

[2greys]

Not been out of the house for a while, so apologies if this question has already been asked.

Does Woolworths and Blockbuster still have normal opening hours during lockdown?

[Hidden]

🤣🤣

[HampshireLass]

Ha ha, by the way we have decimalised our currency too!

[sassy59]

Are they essential 2greys? If not, it’s a no from me. Xxx😂😂😂

[hypercat54]

I thought Woolworths went out of business years ago? As far as Blockbusters unless it is deemed an essential service which I doubt it will be closed.

[2greys in reply to hypercat54]

It was humour Bev. In actual fact the Woolworths brand still exists......in Australia, albeit a supermarket

woolworths.com.au/

[Annie31 in reply to 2greys]

......and b.....dy good they are too! 😁

[hypercat54 in reply to 2greys]

Oh sorry my bad x

[madonbrew]

I'm missing my 10p bag of halfpenny sweets craving a Flying Saucer and pink Shrimp and Blackjack not to mention all the colourings,sugar and multiple E numbers

[PurpleAlf in reply to shouty]

Oh my goodness, I can still taste all those. You’ve started me craving blackjacks now!

[Suzie42 in reply to PurpleAlf]

I fancy blackjacks now......unfair starting this, can you buy them

[Annie31 in reply to Suzie42]

onepoundsweets.com - a retro sweet company selling on line not bad prices. My favourites were sweet peanuts!😁 yes they sell blackjacks!

[Suzie42 in reply to Annie31]

Thank you

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Annie31]

Oh my goodness! Thank you. What a great website. I feel like I’m in a dream (yes I do often dream of being in a sweet shop) Yesterday I made a pledge to myself to try not to do any online shopping for the rest of the month. Unfortunately I can see this pledge is not going to make it through 24 hours! 🍬🍫🍭

[Annie31 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Choosing is going to be the hard part now I think! But it's got to be done!😬😬

So far this month, I've bought three personalized mugs, four summer tops, a new diamonte dog collar 'cos the dog had a scratching fit and the diamontes flew everywhere, a new tv remote control as the same dog ate the old one! Now it's sweets and what date is it? 😯😮😁

[madonbrew in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

😂😂😂 Enjoy!

[mylungshateme in reply to Annie31]

Omg just ordered some sweets!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️♥️ 🤣😂

[Annie31 in reply to mylungshateme]

Well I hope you've left some for the rest of us! 😁😁

[mylungshateme in reply to Annie31]

Maybe a few...😁😂🤣

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Annie31]

Someone bought a lot... not naming names here 😉 Between me first looking at the website and actually ordering things, a lot had sold out. So much for me trying to not do any online shopping for the rest of the month 🙄

What a great website though, thank you for introducing us to it, and thank you 2greys for starting a conversation that led to the discovery of this great shop 🍬🍭🍫🛸

[Annie31 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

I've not even had the chance to order yet! Husband was going to sit down with me and choose but he's been busy doing other things! They'll get more stocks I'm sure with all the other news today. Can't see us getting out of this for a long time and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of sweet teeth around. Lets hope these sweeties don't cause too many cavities 'cos we don't want that extra bother!😯😮😢

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Annie31]

I did leave a few so hopefully you'll get to order yours soon while there are still some left!

[Annie31 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

😋😛😁

[madonbrew in reply to mylungshateme]

Enjoy them! I need to have a look at this site!

[mylungshateme in reply to madonbrew]

Dee it's great!! 🤣😂 can't wait for my delivery pants forgot about me healthy eating... well before and after the bag..😂🤣 p.s I will respond to you later I promise!! Xx

[Elsie1930 in reply to Annie31]

All from home bargains

[2greys in reply to shouty]

Don't forget the "Jamboree Bags"

[Annie31 in reply to 2greys]

Ooh yes! Are those the ones you never knew what you were going to get in them?

[Elsie1930 in reply to shouty]

You can still get them from home bargains

[Elsie1930 in reply to shouty]

Can get all of them from home bargains maybe not for 10p lol

[Suzie42]

Great fun 🤣😂 thanks

[SquirrelsHolt]

[shouty]

Bazooka bubble gum with a Tattoo !! well a green/yellow smudge that lasted 10 mins 😀🤣

[happytulip]

If I went out to Woolworths I'd buy a Marathon bar and a packet of Opal Fruits!

[mylungshateme]

🤣😂🤣🤭brilliant!!! it certainly feels like we've been locked up forever and a day!!! Oh the pick n mix was best bit about woolies!! And big w even better ours was huge. Do you remember C+A too?! 🙂

[Annie31 in reply to mylungshateme]

Oh yes, loved C &A!

[Gladwyn in reply to Annie31]

Me too! I was so sorry when the stores closed down. 😟

[Angelagone in reply to mylungshateme]

I'd kill for some woolies pick and mix.....

[madonbrew in reply to mylungshateme]

Loved C&A! ❤️

[mylungshateme in reply to madonbrew]

Wasn't it great. Trying to think of more old shops but been so long going out who knows what's about anymore!!! 🤣😂x

[madonbrew in reply to mylungshateme]

Tammy Girl!

[mylungshateme in reply to madonbrew]

Omg I used to love tammy girl!! Pilot clothes shop!! X

[madonbrew in reply to mylungshateme]

Woolworths was definitely the best though! You could get anything in there!! And ours used to have a restaurant upstairs and we’d always stop and have lunch there! 😊

[mylungshateme in reply to madonbrew]

Toys r us I know it's not been long but loved that as a kid literally heaven 😂🤣 testing out the controlled cars an playhouses 🤣😂. Xx

[2greys in reply to mylungshateme]

Not forgetting "The Pink Isle", my daughter always made a bee-line for it, choker-full of Barbie and Sindy paraphernalia.

[madonbrew in reply to mylungshateme]

Oh yes, Toys R Us was soooo exciting!! I remember the Sulvelian Families house always looked exciting and I was desperate for it! I never got it though 😢...although I got Barbies heart family instead!

Sorry 2greys for our ramblings on your post! 😂😂😂...it’s a nice little trip down memory lane though! So thanks for that!

[2greys in reply to madonbrew]

Barbie's stiletto shoes were a nightmare though, always getting stabbed in the feet by their heels.

[madonbrew in reply to 2greys]

😂lol yeah they were! Actually I wasn’t a big Barbie type of kid...I preferred my baby doll!!! 😂

[mylungshateme in reply to 2greys]

Haha yes they were an absolute nightmare so fiddly and trying to change her outfits my daughter had the scented ones her fav was coconut 😂🤣.

[2greys]

It's gone 1 am. It seems some people have gone hyper and have been consuming all the red and yellow ones.

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to 2greys]

You've really started something!

[Fircone]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Tryfan]

Think they may still have Betamax for rental.

[RoadRunner44]

At least you haven't lost your sense of humour 2greys.

[Bluenotes]

Cheeky 🐒

[Shirleyj]

😂😂😂😂

[MoyB]

🤣🤣🤣 xx Moy

[Mrbojangles]

Very funny...😜😜I was telling my kids the other day that i remember the days we used to blow all over a birthday cake and then give everyone a slice.

They told me not to exagerate!

[watergazer]

🙌🤣🤣 a long lockdown for you

[2greys in reply to watergazer]

It's just got longer for all of us, until March 31

[watergazer in reply to 2greys]
