No, it’s not….. ’tis the season to spend 30 minutes looking for a parking space (when other people have already resorted to parking on the raised bits / yellow boxes / loading bays / walkway) then STILL have no idea what to buy so you end up walking around the same 7 or 8 shops until almost Midnight…<br /><br />That was last night, I increased the present total by one.<br /><br />Today I continued in vain to do my christmas shopping… this resulted in not very much more, although am now down to all but one … reason I’m still one down ? ATM swallowed by bank card for no good reason, so I know what I’m getting… was just unable to get it.<br /><br />Not to mention the fact that I’m cold (ok, mentioned)<br /><br />Humbug!<br /><br />Note: I do actually quite like Christmas itself, the pretty trees and lights and decorations everywhere, but the shopping and stress and running around like a headless chicken….. no thanks urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iross:1905 2005-12-24T01:55:44Z 2005-12-24T01:55:44Z Christmas Shopping - Day 1<br />December 20th, 2005<br />Does anyone out there enjoy Christmas shopping?<br /><br />I spent the best part of 3 hours in Braehead today only to leave with 2 gifts and 5 cards and me eating a hotdog from Rollover (I figure parking at braehead is free, you have to pay for it everwhere else, so i might as well eat that £2 or so)<br /><br />Really, I am absolutely useless at Christmas Shopping. Think Graeme had the right idea, he did all of his online this year with people like Amazon - had it all done by the 12th December and didn’t have to set foot in a shop playing constant christmas music.<br /><br />Anyway, as most of you will probably know… I started early this year… 20th December! a whole 3 days earlier than last year… I’m getting better I guess urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iross:1671 2005-12-19T00:49:02Z 2005-12-19T00:49:02Z <img src="http://www.iross.net/blog/wp-content/images/thumb_LivePress_logo.png" width="130" height="37" alt="Live+Press" class="alignright" />Thanks to the wonderful <a href="http://somuchgeek.com/code/livepress/">Live+Press</a> plugin for WordPress I can now harass everyone who knows me on LiveJournal without bothering to actually post anything over there.<br /><br />Basically everything posted on <a href="http://iross.net/">iross.net</a> will be mirrored there automatically.
