Morning all, it's time for that certain shopper to be hitting the high street

[dot.hawkes]

You all know the one: Your Husband / Boyfriend On a mission Wandering around the lingerie / shoe department with fear in their eyes and a look of desperation and panic. They pick up a size 8 red and black basque and look sheepishly at the nearest passing female for comparison. They select a size 3 knee high patent boot and try to make it look like it will go over the knee. When they are approached by a predatory sales advisor asking if they need assistance, they breath a sigh of relief and explain they are looking for something for their better half, to wear to take the 4 kids to and from school. They pay top dollar, and leave knowing (hoping) they got it right this year, and proud that they did it all by themselves! We love these shoppers, pound signs roll in our eye sockets, the Cosmetic girls flirt madly hoping they can sell the dearest perfume by offering to gift wrap it, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it lol Have a great last shopping Saturday before Christmas guys!!!!

Oh and remember, it's Fiancee for a girl, Wife cards sell out before 5pm on Christmas Eve and a pretty bow covers a multitude of misdemeanors

Morning all :)

Sounds like a busy day today Dot!

I've got some final shopping to so but so much to do in the flat as well as got my mum coming up to stay tomorrow as we're off to see Elton John.

Determined to build my filing cabinet which has been lying in bits all over the floor for day lol :)

Felt awful yesterday, think I picked up the bug my mum has so dosing myself up today as just too much to do!

Hope everyone has a lovely day :) xxx

High Street? What's that? Online shopping - that's the way. No struggling to find somewhere to park and then being charged the Earth to do so, no getting stuck behind people walking at a snail's pace, no bruises from mums using pushchairs as battering rams...

Actually, I did venture into town yesterday just to finish off the last bits, but most of mine was ordered online two weeks ago and delivered within a few days. Easy.

Humph ...just got an email from Amazon telling me that it's now out of stock so I have to have a refund :-(
