S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G, we're shopping.
Dec. 18th, 2009 04:48 pmThe moment I stepped outside my building this morning I fell flat on my arse. Brilliant. Stupid snow. Our trip to visit James' grandparents tomorrow is cancelled because of the snow as well. Although it's a shame I'm secretly glad that we won't have to tackle the weather tomorrow.
Yesterday was my day off so I waited in for the Ocado man who was wonderful and delivered lots of wonderful food for us. It's not really our Xmas shop but it is very nice to have full cupboards again. I don't know why we haven't done online delivery before to be honest. For all of my hard work at work Eleanor has given me a £15 Tesco gift voucher so I'll be spending that on our Xmas chicken and assorted veg. It was very kind of her, although I have been doing the job of two people recently. Not so at the moment though. Work is dead, and thank God for that! That reminds me, must do that application form at the weekend.
After I wondered at all of the food I headed into town to finish off my Xmas shopping. I didn't do all that well considering the amount of places I went to but I did finish off James' shopping so I guess it was a success in that respect. I wrapped everything too while listening to Aimee Mann's Xmas album. I quite like wrapping presents, it's very theraputic. So now everything is under the tree and it's looking great. I'm dead pleased that I've finished, now to do the cooking that goes with it!
On Wednesday I went out for my second Xmas meal with work. We went to Kendal's. There were six of us - me, Eleanor, Liz, Louise, David and Peter and it was great to see Liz again. She was on fine form. The meal was nice although it was a bit pricey for what it was. Kendals always do nice food though, I can't complain. I've never seen the place so busy.
Other than things have really been winding down which is good. I shall have a slow weekend until Sunday when we're off to see the Pet Shop Boys. I'm so excited! I'm really intrigued about how they work live, I've stayed away from spoilers and the like.
