Christmas Shopping

Well today was our first genuine day of actual Christmas shopping and in one day we managed to get eight presents.  The day started of dull and looked uncompromising but we decided that today was going to be  day of action (well something like that).  We arranged to meet my mum down in town center and after the usual drink and sandwich we set about our task.  Not only were we Christmas shopping but we also needed some extra items too, which we failed on.

How hard can it be to find a woman's coat that not only fits on the body but also has sleeves that are long enough to cover their whole arm.  This proved an impossible task as every coat Deb tried on was either too small or the arms were too short.  When it looked like we had finally found one it turned out that there were only four buttons and no zip fastening and as Deb mainly wants it as a Winter coat this was no use what so ever.

Next stop was Deichmans for shoes.  Another impossible situation as the only shoes there were either not very strong material or completely inappropriate for what we needed them for, namely wedding shoes and shoes for Winter so Deb could walk the dog without getting wet feet.

All the other Christmas presents we wanted we managed to pick up (cant write them on here as I don't know who might read it).

Yesterday was a little nondescript as we spent most of the day in the house waiting for a large sack of dog food to be delivered.  This was the first time we had it delivered and so were a little apprehensive of what condition it would be in when it arrived.  Well happy to say that we were very pleased and the item arrived in excellent condition. We were told it would be delivered yesterday and lo and behold it was.  It arrived at about 3.00pm and so most of the day was over.

In the evening we settled down to do our own thing.  Deb watched Oz on Blu-ray and I played some more Batman on my PC.  In the later stages of the evening we finished of Season 8 of Bones and started on Season 8 of Supernatural.  Only watched one episode and it was a little boring as it was mostly flashbacks on the characters, but I have no doubt that it will get better as it always does.
