Stressful shopping!
As I was off school today having my brace fixed, I went into town-Swindon aka the hellmouth.
I got really hot and stressed as I tried to find a mothers day present. (I decided I'll buy flowers on Saturday in the end!) They didn't have the book my mum wanted you see. No-one was at the Boots nail bar so I couldn't book a manicure. I have to wait 2 weeks for facial at Clarins @ House of Fraser. Rude sales assisants in some shops!

I adore shopping. Much prefer to do it on my own 'tho rather than dragging someone else round with me. Prefer "real" shopping to online shopping 'cos I like having all the bags to carry.

. Still, I expect it's gone downhill since my sister gave up her job at Boots. She used to have a fine old time chasing shoplifters and creit card fraudsters into the street and down the road...Shoop shoop do-wah baby, shoop shoop yeahhhhhh

Quite relaxing, I would have said.

Hmmmm, Shopping!!!!!!!
I know this sounds selfish, but shopping for other people is stressful, shopping for yourself is a different thing entirely!

after jsut going down ther ei have to now add pigeons. there are plenty of clearly marked signs saying 'please do not feed the pigeons' so what happens? the nice old lady from down the road feeds them bread whioch means more pigeons come narrowly missing taking your head off. so yopu then have to duck and dive as well as dodge old people and kids, oh and also the teenagers riding their bikes and skateboards, grrrr

I *love* shopping but only when I'm on my own.
Its so hard going to a shopping centre with a baby and a buggy having inconsiderate people shutting doors in your face, stopping straight in front of you and shops with no lifts!!
Thats why I say thank God for internet shopping most of the time

I agree with Jola, shopping with a baby in a pushchair in a busy shopping centre ain't fun... also try it with an autistic 8 year old who's in a strop about God only knows and the fun gets better.. not... so i do like shopping with Ray, or just by myself. I love clothes shopping for the kids.. i could spend a small fortune on them both (and usually do) but i hate shopping for clothes for myself.. as everything i like, either doesn't come in my size, or just doesn't suit me, and i see myself in a mirror trying clothes on, and just get really depressed....
