Anyone like me? I hate this time of the year when everywhere is so full of......those nasty things.....what do you call them.....oh yes.... people! I am sooooooooooooooo anti social but I just hate being in amongst lots of them Even popping to Tesco for a pint of mik you would think someone really famous and sexy was there giving away signed copies of his boxer shorts or something!
My family and I have been ill all over the past two days so I was stir crazy. We went out to a shopping centre as we needed a new toaster and DVD player. Every one I wanted, they were sold out! They weren't even on sale FFS! I got one after my hubby disagreed with about 30 before I bought the cheapest I could find!
That was testing enough....but then my darling little cherub of a daughter (let me tell you....she is so lucky my maternal instincts are intact....just!) asks if we can go into NEXT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! "Oh please" I beg "Not NEXT....Not during sale time" but she really absolutely definately no two ways about it... must spend her christmas gift card, today. I even offer her more than the face value of her card to not go today......but no...... I agree. (I am still fighting off a stinker of a cold, hot and bothered, don't like crowds blah blah....) and in we go. My 9 yr old, 4 yr old, hubby and I.
What an experience.....and I don't mean the crowds or any of the sort of stuff you would expect me to say....My 4 yr old is a natural sale shopper!!! (def don't get it from me!!!!!) You should have seen her go! She rummaged through the sale rails looking for things with an age 5 tag on it, pulling it out, checking it out and literally discarding it on the floor if she didn't like it! Her poor harassed mother put them all back! She picked out some very suitable items and handed them to the carthorse (me of course)
I can't stop here...sorry....I have to get this all out! Hubby then decided he would like a xmas pud. FFS! Every year I buy pud and every year it is only me who eats it. So this year, I don't buy one! I meekly follow him into the throng that is more commonly known as M&S looking for 1/2 price puds! I come out having spent £26.
I am coming to the end of my rant. I can't stand this time of year! I am so sorry to be bah humbug and all but It is not so much the Christmas I hate, just this bit in between. I long for normaility when I can go into shops without it being like a perpetual weekend. Or I could long to be the kind of person who enjoys shopping at busy times
