Shopping Success (Mostly)
Saturday, December 4th, 2010 03:38 pmDay 338 I did get up early (7.30am instead of 7am) and went into town on the bus. I got there before it was really busy, and the Salvation Army Brass Band were playing in the precinct and by the Lady Godiva statue. I managed to get all the must-get items on my list:

Unfortunately the Clintons bag had a hole worn in it and one of the little Christmas tree ornaments I bought for Bean (a teddy bear holding a Christmas cracker with her name on the side) had fallen through the hole into oblivion :( But the snowglobe 'Baby's 1st Christmas' bauble was still there. It was only a couple of quid, the roads look a bit more promising next week so I'll go to Clintons up near home on the way home from work and see if they have any there - I also need to go for cards because I don't appear to have bought one for my sister & her partner, I guess I was so focused on looking for a 'To my niece on her 1st Christmas' card.
Am nearly there with wrapping everything up, in addition to the gifts on my list I bought another for Bean - a piggy bank. They had lots of designs, this one is white with rainbow circles on it. I've taken a photo of it because it's so cool, but I can't share it in the usual way because all the family can see my Flickr account.
