Well I have the first wave out of the way. Something I hadn’t considered this year is a new limitation that I hadn’t had a problem with previously - namely that I now have to get all of my shopping home on the back of a motorbike. I’m glad I’m not buying for small children! (why is it that the smaller the child the larger the present?)
I survived the last Late Night Shopping spree in St. Hell-ier without injury (to others I mean) and even found the time to meet up with a new friend for a drink. There’s nothing quite like a G&T to take your mind of things!!! And as per tradition I have gotten myself my reward pressie for being such a good little elf and not murdering all who crossed my path (although it did cross my mind a couple of times - lady, it’s a push chair, not a Sherman). I was going to get a pocket backgammon set (cos in case you didn’t know I’m an avid backgammon player) but was in HMV picking up the nth CD when I spotted this. That’s right people, Sid Meirs Pirates is back and better than ever before. Well it looks like I know what I’m gonna be doing on Christmas Day!
As for pressies so far I have the following:
Dad - 100% (thanks Mum
)
Mum - 70%
LemurGirl - 40%
Housemate - 100%
Everyone else - 0%
So it looks like I’ll be scraping the rest together sometime tomorrow.
Until then peeps
