Online or in store?

I'd ideally love to have shopped for some products online, but by the time I'd placed anything in my online/virtual shopping basket, by the time I'd come to pay for it- even with just one thing, I'd found the store was out of stock, or as with John Lewis, I'd get to the site at around midnight on Christmas eve which was the first time I had been able to shop online that day and everything I would have considered was already out of stock. The sale on John Lewis had only been on for 12 hours let alone the fact the John Lewis sale wasn't due to end for a few weeks futher!

I shop instore, because at least then I don't get my hopes up as much only to see what I want, imagine owning it- even if its for a fraction of a second, before seeing "out of stock" and reliving the disappointment over and over again. And at least with in store shopping I get to exercise a little and get outside of the one room (plus the addition of "fresh" air!) Being stuck in 4 walls for a full day tends to make me feel rubbish at the end of the day.

Look at it this way: offline is great, browsing the stores is fantastic, if you know what you want and how to get it.
adn NB it is also great to just zap on something you want as a gift or whatever.
