With coronavirus instead of going clothes shopping I have been buying them on-line. Today my son's new trousers arrived in the post. I bought Christmas presents for my sister's children already. We booked an amazing trip for April this year. It felt terrible that it got cancelled due to corona virus. We have booked a week in July 2021 in a wheelchair accessible caravan West Sussex. It is ideal for my son that in a wheelchair and my two dogs. I am looking for someone that likes gerbils.

I prefer to buy my clothes in stores. I have a need to feel the material and check for quality. I’m glad I brought home all my new clothes when we returned from Florida. Now, due to the pandemic, I have had to purchase a few winter clothes online. No Israel for us in June with the family. Nor returning to our place in Florida this year. I love kitties.

Hi Dianne N. It is sad that you can't visit Israel or go to stay in your vacation home in Florida. I also like to feel the material of clothing and look at the quality. Like it might have buttons which might come off very easily. It is great you bought some winter clothes on-line.

@DianneN I hope you stay safe from coronavirus. Today I took my disabled son to a hospital appointment. Most of the shops we went past are closed. We got a take away meal to eat before the appointment.

@maximax8 This pandemic has ruined so much of everything. At least we have remained safe from the virus and hope we remain so.

I don't really shop for clothes. Most of the time I wear whatever I have until I can no longer wear them. However I would buy some of other items online. Most frequently would be cat food.

Hello Notlilie. It is lovely that you buy cat food. I can see you don't buy clothes unless it is very necessary. I do buy most of the clothing for my children.

You are giving up your gerbils? I don’t buy clothes online as they are definitely something we need to try on before buying for us.

Even without the virus, we do most of our clothes shopping online just because we do not have much choices here in our small town. The only stuff that we tend to buy in-store are shoes and grocery. We really do not have any good boutiques here. If we want to do some substantial shopping, like for this coming holiday, we have to drive an hour and a half to the next bigger town.

Hello Raine 38. Yes, shopping for clothes on-line is easier because you can buy the clothing if they are in stock. I agree shoes have to be tried on. Sometimes I buy groceries on-line if the home situation is that we need shopping the next day. I prefer to go shopping for food and drinks off line. That is because I can get on better and it is cheaper. It is lovely you have a big town you can drive to.

Hello Jenara. That is a really lovely thing to say. Thank you. I am hoping I can have some time in London before the trip and some time in Kent. I will plan more next year.
