The shopping centres near me are already horrendous. A grown woman actually hit my three year old in the back of her head today whilst pushing past us. No apology, just a tut and swear words under her breath. The car park was chaos too. Horrible man in a zoomy, sporty type car cut me up and then screamed at me. It is only November! I always have a dream of pottering around the shops, soaking in the atmosphere and feeling all festive, but it is always a nightmare. Any survival tips? Does anyone know what times are the quietest? Ever since I had dd I have found pushy crowds too much. I get anxious and panicked. I can't face it this year, which is why I've done mist of my shopping early, but I know DH is going to want to do a shopping trip nearer the time. Are late nights less crazy than weekends?
