Christmas Shopping 2014

ArtetaMoney · November 28, 2014

I have got 2 more things to buy as presents, but they're tickets and haven't gone on sale yet. I hate the shops over Xmas, people with massive prams walking proper slow round shops that are chocker.

Clothes all over the floor from the rampage of birds trying to find a last minute dress for a Xmas party.

I think my personal fave is when you're walking behind someone and they just stop, for no apparent reason they stand there as if they are stuck in time, you try to squeeze past and boom, they start walking again!

Have you started yet? Finished? Like it? Loath it?

I enjoy it mate, but can understand people hating it!

Doing pretty well with mine so far. My half of the family is basically done.

No idea for my work Secret Santa though! Not a clue!

Dirt cheap the heart.

Get a nice hot madras with a starter for a tenner. Poop in the box and hey presto.

If you want, you can sprinkle some glitter on the turd.

Is it a lad or a bird? The Matalan charity alphabet scarfs are a tenner each, get one with their initial on. Profit goes to Alder Hey.

Planning to get the missus tickets to the ballet for Christmas, which is taking one for the team and no mistake. Massive brownie points.

Haven't a clue about the folks though.

This is why I love Amazon / not being generous.

I've got my missus' mate to go with her, I'm buying them both tickets for it on the night of the home Derby.

I won't feel as bad for getting absolutely destroyed after the game cos she won't be there when I stagger home.

Taking my dad the darts in Feb should be a good session

Went out shopping with the missus last weekend. She goes 'oooh, that coat's nice'.

Boom, Christmas shopping done.

Its ok when your single, just shop online.

When i had a bird was a pain in the ass, woman dont even know what there buying, its just stuff, and its usually for people you only see once a year. And after a day of slogging around like cattle in a pen shes too tired to even nosh you off.
