‘Tis the season to be jolly……. No, it’s not….. ’tis the season to spend 30 minutes looking for a parking space (when other people have already resorted to parking on the raised bits / yellow boxes / loading bays / walkway) then STILL have no idea what to buy so you end up walking around the same 7 or 8 shops until almost Midnight…

That was last night, I increased the present total by one.

Today I continued in vain to do my christmas shopping… this resulted in not very much more, although am now down to all but one … reason I’m still one down ? ATM swallowed by bank card for no good reason, so I know what I’m getting… was just unable to get it.

Not to mention the fact that I’m cold (ok, mentioned)

Humbug!

Note: I do actually quite like Christmas itself, the pretty trees and lights and decorations everywhere, but the shopping and stress and running around like a headless chicken….. no thanks
