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?

Are they essential 2greys? If not, itโ€™s a no from me. Xxx๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

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.

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

Oh my goodness! Thank you. What a great website. I feel like Iโ€™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! ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿญ

Choosing is going to be the hard part now I think! But it's got to be done!๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

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? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜

Someone bought a lot... not naming names here ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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 ๐Ÿ™„

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 ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ›ธ

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!๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ข

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 ๐Ÿ˜ข...although I got Barbies heart family instead!

Sorry 2greys for our ramblings on your post! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚...itโ€™s a nice little trip down memory lane though! So thanks for that!
