Shopping chaos...

Is it just here or does everyone around the world go crazy this time of the year with last minute shopping.

It's everywhere, Kon!
Went to the shops earlier to by some stuff I needed for dinner, and I tell you.. People are going crazy!

Last minute? Don't know what you mean Kon. According to my diary there's plenty of time yet until shopping day.

I love your patience Allan ,i went to the post office today to pay some bills and two ladies having an argument on who was going to send their Christmas parcels at the counter first.

Even we have been off our feet flat out at the shop with all bookings for hair appointments even on Christmas eve and New years eve which are on Sundays :evil:

are booked .Mind you my business partner is expecting next week so i just tell her to keep legs crossed until the end of next week

Kon, I went to a large shopping centre on Sunday to get some deck shoes from the "Rivers" shop. Saw the chaos and was about to drive out when someone left a bay right at the entrance.

Ducked in, got the shoes and left 2 motorists fighting over my bay. 8-)

God only knows what Coles and Woolies will be like this weekend. You would think there was a siege about to take place.
Kailis (they're from Kazzy) Fish are open for 36 hours straight up to Xmas morning.
Don't forget to get that "Weis" icecream.

I prize the Internet. Got most of my gifts there. Was to town this afternoon to get some I couldn't get on the net. Next year I will tell everybody they only get what to be found on the net. When I was child I remember I were with my parents to town just to LOOK at the Christmas exibitions with funny moving things, artificial snow and adventures alive. Things certainly have changed.

I tend to buy all my presents as I see them through the year - avoids last minute panics. Er... do you have a smiley for being smug?

I just don't know what all the fuss is about. There's bound to be a shop open somewhere on Sunday. Box of chocolates and a bit of wrapping paper....

How hard can it be?

good old play.com on the net - I bought all my christmas pressies there and even get free delivery to our rock in the Aegean!
Mind you not looking forward to the american supermarket up here in the village on Christmas eve - we will all be fighting over the broccolli and frozen sproats!!

I'm kinda lucky this year, no brocolli, sprouts or spinich.

I've been diagnosed with Haemocromotosis..yep, I asked the same thing..what the **** is it?
It's too much iron in the blood, they control it by periodic blood taking.
Sounds a bit medieval to me, but its suppose to work.

Well,as long as they aren't still using leeches...

No spanakopita for you then!

by **Richard** » 21 Dec 2006, 13:30

I don't think that Popeye ever used leeches. They're quite tasty too. A little garlic and olive oil....

Don't expect any sympathy on this board.

Especially from me ... as I'm deficient of the damn stuff!!!
