Beating the rush!

To mingle with the crowds, is not a lot of fun,

I could think of better things to do... but have to get this done!

I think I'll have my coffee first and put my brain in gear,

Don't want to give them gifts, the same as last year!

Now, what for dear DH ... some wine in a casket?

My daughter's into Wicca ... maybe a laundry basket? ;-)

My son, he has the travel bug... so how about a map

Of Exeter? No, been there done that... he'll only think that's ****! ;-)

My mum loves 'Homes and Antiques'... so that's her sorted out.

My dad says she is an antique... so he'll just get a clout.

My Great Aunt Prue is 98 and wants some thermal knickers

To go with those, I'll get her chocs ... she likes the sort called Snickers.

Uncle Brian supports the Saints, so something red and white.

Or a guide to a lower division?...as relegation is their plight (LOL)

My sis, the CK fan ... her present's on the shelf...

In Orange Tree, ( I'll buy the two..I need one for myself!) (Naturally!)

Oh my! Is that the time? And I'm not even dressed.

I blame this bl**dy blog...I'm not ready for this fest

So much to do, so little time and all I do is chat

Christmas, flippin Christmas..better get 'me hat'!

And 'me coat' ... and off I go, happily to town,

To mingle with the crowds...won't let it get me down!

I'll meet you back here, later, for a cuppa and a bun,

We'll swap notes about our day... I'm sure yours will be fun. ;-)

I do hope you've all had successful shopping outings this weekend! ;-)
