Humbugs!!

Someone mentioned Christmas is this weekend?? Silly place to put it and very inconvenient. So this morning I had to get up at stupid O'Clock in the cold and dark to get to Tesco's before it became packed with hassled looking shoppers panic buying Brussels sprouts. I hate crowded supermarkets, crowds of sheep I can deal with, but rude people I'm afraid I can't. Being small I tend to be easily trampled and run over by trolleys. I had a comprehensive list of three items; cream, cheese and loo rolls, that I thought would be enough to get through Christmas without too many problems. Honestly I hate grocery shopping, I impulse buy stuff I don't need and never end up with anything I really do need. If you turn up at mine over Christmas you'll be ok so long as you like cheesy nibbles, pizza and chocolate oranges!!

I also had a small stash of clubcard vouchers to use as well so instead of buying essential grocery items with them naturally I ended up getting a new mobile phone. It only cost me a fiver with the special offer of £20 off if I bought £40 of non essential groceries I actually don't need. The buttons on the old one were a nuisance and I kept accidentally sending people blank text messages at 10p a time. I think people were worrying I'd finally lost the plot completely. This phone's all fancy with a video camera and touch screen, I just need to ensure I keep it out of Elza's way as she eats phones, text messages are terribly exciting to a dog that doesn't get out much! So now I have yet another technical gadget that I don't know how to use because I hate instruction booklets, it's due to the fact I'm right brained! If you phone or text me you might have to hang on while I work out how to use it, or indeed realise it's my phone that's actually ringing!
