Christmas is coming, me feet are getting fat

One really should try and get a good nights sleep prior to a day out shopping with special people, its not that they are 'special' people who should only be out with an escort or in a controlled environment, they are 'special' because they are my friends.  But having been awake since just after 1.30am I was feeling none to 'special' let me tell you.

Pick ups started around 8.20 prior to any caffeine intake, eww its gonna be a bad start.  Collections then continued until we arrived at Starbucks, and injections of caffeine were duly paid for. Then we hit the shops, list in hand I pounded the streets of Aberdeen like a racing snail on speed. Boots check, Hobbycraft check, Next check, back into Boots incase I forgot what I hadn't wanted in the first place check, M & S check, and so the list of shops went on.

I've never been so glad to see Prezzo, my feet were throbbing and my bank card needed to be submerged in a pint of Pelligrino for resuscitation purposes, whilst my tongue needed Sauvignon for purely medicinal reasons, followed swiftly by more caffeine. Afternoon tea finished, well I couldn't call it lunch could I, it was after all well passed my lunch hour, we hit the shops again.


4pm arrived and we trundled back to the taxi ready for home having put the world to rights and managing to get everything I was supposed to get and just a little bit more.

Time for a bit of Facetime with the beloved, a quick visit to see Buba and home in time for a quick trawl through Gossipbook, ops I mean Facebook.
