    Get your butt in gear! Go and brave the shops

    I'm thinking of going in a bit. That way people aren't on their lunch breaks and all the mums and dads will be picking their kids up from school so shouldn't be as busy! :think:

    And at least I know exactly what I need so I don't have to browse or wander! :think:


    Wish me luck folks. I'm going in! :cool:

    But do you know what? All I can ever seem to find is 'novelty' slippers! Never any normal ones! :rolleyes:

    Right I'm out of here. If I don't make it back alive it's been nice knowing you all! :D

    Well that was easy enough. :D

    Get in car park, space on level 1! Result!

    Go straight to BHS. Find some within 5 minutes. Off to the till. No queue. Result!

    Next door to WH Smith. No queue. Gift voucher sorted. Off home! :D

    Had to stop at JJB Sports on the way. No queue again! :D

    Then to Sainsbury's to get something for my mum and buy some booze and again, no queue.

    But..........I did get asked for ID! :rotfl: I'm not sure whether to take it as a compliment or an insult, bearing in mind I'm 27 next month! :rolleyes:
