    does anyone really enjoy xmas shopping ??

    i really can't stand it *growl*

    firstly its finding a car park this for me is easy drop youngest at school then race in to lincoln normally takes 15-20 mins have to get there before 9:40 or your doomed

    next problem argos they never have anythng i want in stock usually results in a tantrum before i even hit town as i can't reserve the stuff grrr

    shops are busy and Q's i hate them if a Q is too long i abandon baskets and stomp out

    slow walkers also annoy me i want to be in and out as quick as i can

    by the time i have gone back to my car there is chaos in the car park cars everywhere looking for a space you only have to walk up to to your car before some idiot says exuse me are you going grrrrr give me chane to get in the car i normally have a few mins spare so i usually say no and stomp off to the toilets

    by the time im home im in a furious mood everything that annoys me has happened oh yes forgot to add because of argos half my shop is missing

    so i really do not like xmas shopping at all lol

    I LOVE Christmas shopping! I love buying gifts for everyone, it can sometimes be a pain in the butt not knowing what you should get them, but overall, I absolutely love it-minus the crazy malls :growl:

    I do about 90% of mine online.

    No queues, car park problems or crowded aisles to worry about, just settle down with the PC, a large mug of coffee and the credit card.

    i actually like it until it gets to these last weeks and it turns mayhem. All the stress of trying to make sure you've got everything and bought people enough, and as for wrapping I have a hugggeeee pile
