I point blank refuse.... not to be a misoginistic bleep - I wouldn't have a clue what was on various lists, I'd be a bleeping hinderance and I refuse to pay for tit store bags when we have a healthy supply of big French/Costco plastic bags that can hold the Earth itself and still have room for some small items. Yes, previous Christmas shopping trips have seen me take several of our bags in order to rationalise the present carrying - no cutting in on the hands and decent capacity.Men trailing round the shops Christmas shopping with their partners. sorry.
Anyhow, Me and the lad left the daughter creature home on Saturday afty - the better half was away to Bath with the ladies of the village on a Christmas shopping trip that sounds like it was more of a girlie pissup - first cans were cracked within 100yds of the off - well done girls!!
We toddled along to the local outlet megamall at 5pm hunting out a particular Lindt ball flavour combination - me and the kids couldn't decide on what to get the wife/mother for Christmas and the daughter noted that she'd run out of the Lindt stuff we bought when we visited the factory last summer. So no more of the 'rarer' flavours or any Lindt fun left in her stash.
Few minutes later we think we have the makings of a choccy based hamper for Christmas - not as good as last years Clogau 12 days of Christmas main present, but this years Clogau offering is a bit poor, we feel. She does have several advent calendars to make up for this years poor show from us... a Pandora one, Yankee Candle one and a few beauty type ones and the obligatory Cadbury one.
No doubt I'll pick up some random tat/regular toiletries type stuff for a stocking on my travels out of the office when I want some air.
