Let's be careful out there!

Well I've just done a dash to Argos for one of the storage ottoman things and couldn't believe how quick and easy it was. Straight through the traffic. Had it reserved so no fiddling about there. Came through for collection sharpish and whizzed back to the office. Even got the same front of office parking space. Job done!!

I have a trip to M&S for a collection tomorrow, but that's it for the high street so it'll be a dash and grab. And then the final bits and the goose to collect at 8am on Christmas Eve. It'll be fine.

I actually took a list with me, because I only needed a few specific things, although 2 bottles of a Martini fell in to the trolley in Lidl, well, I HAD to because we had a £5 voucher off, and I needed them to get me up to £40, so in reality, one and a quarter bottles were actually FREE  :P   

Luckily I've no need to go to the shops, barring my local supermarket for some milk for Christmas Day for the ex' , as I'm sorted here. I was up North at the weekend and we went to places where the crowds weren't (it took some time to find those as there were crowds everywhere.) Last week, when I popped into Tesco it was packed, with people's trolleys piled high. I cannot understand why people stock up as though there's going to be a siege for a year, especially when the shops are open on Boxing Day in the main. One woman had enough loaves of bread in her trolley to feed a city. It's ridiculous, in my opinion.

Not a soul on the M25 today.

I used to love Hill Street Blues.
