    What I hate most is those women with pushchairs who BARGE. They all had words from me. They do NOT have right of way :)
    it was all quite civilised yesterday morning when i got to my local boots except 2 ppl one with a huge pram who wouldnt move away from shelfs stood with the pram straight across most of it, the other was an elderly lady with her pully who practically done the same i had my 2 yr old son in his buggy and spent most of the time saying excuse me plz and sorry when i got in someones road its not as if there wasnt enough to go round

    Yeah, I'm not saying everyone is like that and I understand people have children. But getting your ankles rammed into is horrible, and they really think they have right of way!! Grrrr..

    Went to my local Boots just this morning and was really pleased with what I got - the shelves were pretty much bare but still managed to get some FCUK giftsets (for birthdays), a fresh hamper, botanics cosmetic purse, a rose boxed giftset (present), a couple of photo albums, a leather purse, a boots moisturiser set and a box of sweets (for me me me)! All for less than 30 quid. There is still heaps and heaps of wrapping paper lying about too.

    I have to admit I was after a hatbox for my sis and was so disgusted with boots yesterday that I just bought one from eBay. It worked out at £29.50 Inc p&p as I used my eBay plus voucher. I figured I may as well seeing as I didn't get to spend anything at boots online!

    Meadowhall ....

    Anyone seen any Chilli Pepper bags in south yorkshire?
    Thats only thing i wanted for myself and havent been able to get one so far...

    There were loads of them yesterday at Meadowhall ... :o ... almost everyone had at least one hung over their arm ... It was a bit like the end of The Thomas Crown Affair when they're all walking round in bowler hats!
