      Hi guys,

      Anyone got any idea where might be open.

      I have a few jobs need doing around the house so need to pick up a few essentials.

      Thanks

      None as they aren't allowed to be.

      If a shop had supplies in it that may be an option.

      Online.

      People have gone mad buying paint, it seems.
      Not ideal weather for it.

      You can indeed but it's a little bit chilly for that also. Painting should be done in warm, naturally ventilated conditions without a central heating system running to achieve best results. My own opinion based on personal experience but I'm no expert.

      My brothers house got painted in late October/early November without electricity initially and heating at all. It turned out fine. If you couldn't paint unless you had summer weather no professional painters would be in business.

      We have just bought a house so need indoor paint - if anyone knows somewhere, it would be great.

      Maybe not ideal but in Ireland we seldom get extreme weather, last week was as good as you'd get for outdoor painting once you weren't paining too early and late in the day then it's fine

      Internal conditions in any normal house at this time of the year are close to ideal for painting

      Try ordering online from Dairygold Raheen

      Edit - I just rang them to order vegetable plants and they're only trading in essentials

      They site says yes. You can see here https://www.therange.co.uk/pets/pet-food/#sort=relevance&page=1&lpp=24

      However, I am looking for electronic products. I don't think they are offering. :(
