to want to go shopping

[Ilythia]

as it's the only way I will get time to myself, without the children, alone, in peace.
And I want a new dress and new jeans for DD1 as the dog ripped hers.

But it won't be worth it, will it?

humph

you want to go shopping on christmas eve?

alone?

in peace?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Go for it. If it's horrible you can come back.

I've been known to do it. Somehow, despite all the bustle, its a LOT easier when you don't have the kids with you. And people aren't generally trying on dresses on Christmas Eve, they are more likely in the supermarkets fighting over the last stalk of sprouts (or, as I saw at one supermarket a few years back, squabbling over the shopping trolleys and BUYING them off people! )

I love going shopping on Christmas Eve - but only if I'm shopping for things I don't actually NEED to buy that day. But then, I live in a town centre so no driving/searching fruitlessly for parking spaceparking involved.

I don't think shopping for clothes will actually be that bad, but if posisble I'd get a taxi and book one back, rather than drive, cos parking will be stressful :)

i went to new look yesterday in a big retail park and got a space no problem and no queues at all in new look was nice and peaceful! go for it

I don't find Xmas eve that bad - it's the days before that are worse

Have fun!

Taxis are difficult because they are so busy...

You'll be better shopping today rather than in the Boxing Day sales too...

Definitely go for it. Xmas Eve is often quieter than other days.

I like Xmas eve shopping too, and lots of the clothes sales have started already.

Am still here. DHa nd FIL had to go out this morning so I couldn't.
Still wanting to go...but we have now been invited round to friends this afternoon so I won't have time bums.
