How late do you leave the Xmas shopping ?

Some people clearly leave things right up to the last moment, I just tried to see something on the Boots site only to get a message:

You're just minutes away!

Sorry, lots of people are shopping with us right now but don't worry, you're in a queue to enter our site.

You'll be able to shop more great offers in..

 

59 minutes !

Which would seem to indicate that there are a shed load of husbands and boyfriends who have left things way way too late and are going to have a truly shitey Christmas New-year break when they try to explain why their other halves haven't received anything on the 25th.

Management and I use a very satisfactory arrangement to cope with this Christmas Present problem.

She buys me nothing and in return I buy her the same. We have run the arrangement for many years and it has saved hours of walking up and down town staring wildly into dull, boring shop windows.

The only setback is that we have cupboards full of old unused nothing.

"Is it still in the original packaging ?"


Yes it is, because this way we know precisely were we can find it when needed. We also know where there is a quantity of packaging, which is usually of more use than it's contents  (but please keep this information to your self).

Well it came......and thankfully went.......with no trouble.

We just moved farther into the cave and pulled the closure rock back into it's position and we had a very restful couple of days.

 

We went out this morning and had a delightful  drive round some the Wolds, and found that it seems to have escaped vandalisation. There was virtually no people about with buckets and spades, but this is understandable when the one big thing missing for that on the Wolds Is a lot of water, and another is the less important item of thousands of tons sand.

Still ..... it was a nice tootal out and very pleasurable trip.

Be sure to get management to paint some hiro Glyffics to the cave walls so future generations can know what strange species once lived there
