...at least that's what I thought when I happened to pop out to the shops this morning. I needed to do a quick run to the bank and the supermarket. First of all I couldn't find a parking space for about 10 minutes (unheard of where I shop) then I had to battle through crowds and dodge crazy parking idiots who seem to forget all the road rules as well as common courtesy when negotiating their way around a car park.
The bank was pretty quiet (no-one has any money left probably) but the supermarket was insane...what are people buying? It's still a week and a day until Christmas! It will all be stale and off by then! Also, why do people need to buy so much, the shops are only closed for one day (and even then some little 7-11 grocers are still open in case of emergency. I cannot understand why everyone is stockpiling! Do they know something I don't know? It's madness!
Anyway, I did my banking, did a little shopping, came home and ate some Terry's Chocolate Orange...I needed the calming effect of chocolate.
That's been my day...what did you do?

its the same over here Caitlin, absolute madness, the amount people spend. the amount of food in supermarket trolleys is obscene, its only a few days afterall, and the western world goes mad on spending and over eating.
I fully understand the comforting effects of a terrys chocolate orange by the way!

The end of the world is nigh.
I went to the supermarket myself as it happens, but it's the first time for ages. It was only moderately busy.
This afternoon, I will polish the best cutlery and get ready for the visit of a VIP tomorrow.
Assuming Dave is exaggerating a bit and that tomorrow actually will come.
'nigh' is a fairly loose term.
It's nigher today than it was yesterday though.
i spent a lovely day at my friend's farm, eating and gossiping! and then I went to my parent's house for dinner :)
