Ah,Christmas time when everyone has to be happy[it's the law]and according to the various charities we should all be feeling sorry for/shelling out to help,the homeless who are cold and afraid on the street corners/shop doorways,the children who are wondering if Santa will bring them a present this year as their[single parent]family are on the breadline and have never been able to afford such things.Then we have to pick on the local old person who's super lonely[they must be a they live alone] and go round to visit them/invite them to dinner.Once the day is over of course we can all go back to totally ignoring all the above until it repeats again next year.

I tried to pop into Costco at Bristol on Sunday morning for fuel and there was a line of cars about half a mile trying to get in...  ::)

So I abandoned that, carried on up the M5 to see similar queues of cars backed up onto the motorway on both sides trying to get into Cribbs Causeway shoopping mall/complex.   ::)

People really are mental about Christmas....  :-\

Mrs TB went to Tescos at 6am yesterday morning, and said it was already pretty busy. Dread to think what it was like at less unearthly hours :o.

Fuelwise, I guess a lot of people fill up as many will be doing a decent journey over the holiday period, and the country is full of people who couldn't possibly let the tank run down to the last half....

My fridge decided to freeze everything last night, so I did a quick run to Tesco's to replace the stuff that doesn't like being frozen.  ::)

I thought I'd be scrummaging for tomatoes, but it was no busier than normal.  :-\

We did our Christmas shop yesterday morning and it was mental. Went in Asda about half ten this morning. The car park attendants that they draught in for Christmas we're standing playing with their phones because the car park was half empty, as was the shop. Obviously all did it yesterday.

We went to Sainsburys on Friday,after doing a 5 mile detour due to 3 of the 4 exits out of the village being flooded. It was very busy indeed.
We went back again yesterday (yeah I know) and it was fickin manic. Couldn't wait to get out. Saw a highly sheepish looking bloke being led through the shop in handcuffs by two coppers and three security men.
We went in Boots to look for a present and there was almost a riot gong on. Several groups of people having very shouty arguments about various things while security and staff tried to calm things down. It was hilarious.
All for the sake of one day. Or half a day in my case as Im working tonight and will roll out of bed at around 1pm tomorrow.

I really don't like the actual day. I am chief cook and bottle washer and, for the sake of one meal, it is an overrated faff. But the missus will say the dinner is lovely, no matter what I dish up, she's good like that. I try to appear cheerful and content, but the best part of the day, for me, is stuffing all of the dishes into the dishwasher and knowing that's, more or less, it for another year.
It's for young kids, and I haven't got any.

When I saw all the queues to get into Costco and Cribbs on Sunday I did have a little chuckle at all the rows that must have been going on in those cars!  ;D

I feel much the same as STEMO about it. However our 35 year old kid has come home for a couple of days and he loves, so we are mustering some enthusiasm for that reason.
Next year though, he will probably be married (poor ficker) and wont be here. I will be working 7.30am - 7.30pm, so swmbo is going to have a miserable day of it I think.
You never know though, she might throw a wild party and have a great time while Im off the premises.

She has an addiction, I'm afraid. She has a lot, and I mean a lot, of Radley handbags upstairs and, as far as I can see, they never get used. But, when I ask the question, I am treated like an idiot who has no idea how the whole thing works, so I keep quiet. It's easier that way.
