CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

So today I wandered off to Uxbridge to do a spot of Christmas shopping with my Mum. First stop was for coffee, well you can't zoom round the shops without a spot of caffeine inside you.

We were doing quite well until we got stopped by the beaming dead sea salt scrub salesman, who was on the cute side so we decided to let him do his spiel on us and demonstrate his scrub, which was pretty good it has to be said and amazingly reduced For Today Only!!! at the incredible reduction of £25 to £20! Hmmmmmm it was good but not £20 worth good so we said we'd go for lunch and have a think about it - you can guess what we decided!!

Sadly my shopping trip was cut short when I received a phone call from my son's school saying he was feeling poorly and so we had to leave the sparkle and tinsel of uxbridge and head to the school.

Now my other half asked me what I'd been up to today so I told him shopping in Uxbridge. "but you were only there with your friend on Monday" this was true but you can never have enough of shopping can you? "why didn't your Mum go with you then and save a trip?" I did explain that it takes much longer to shop and you buy less when you have more people with you and that obviously going on your own is the way to buy the most stuff, but it's so much more fun when you have a friend to chat with during the umpteen coffee breaks that are required :)

Men just don't understand the joys of shopping!
