..and usually when the majority of people are, as the technical term goes, skint. Did my Christmas shopping today, finishing off those last and impossibly difficult pressies. Got something for the boyfriend (an impulse buy, I saw it, I pondered, and then thought "Well, what else am I going to get him? He'll like it, it might take some persuading, but he'll like it"). Got lots of funky wee pressies and put them together for boyfriends sister. Got boyfriends mum and dad something nice as well. I would tell, but boyfriend comes on sinister, and reads what I write about him, so I want to keep schtum so it will all be a suprise. Got my brother a harmonica (why does that sound grammatically incorrect? please tell me, is it an harmonica or a harmonica..?) with a book about how to play the harmonica. Quite nice it was too, lovely tone to it. I can only presume that if he ever masters playing it, the poor people of Glasgow will be listening to him busking. And knowing my brother, it will probably be a Star Trek related tune. Hmm. (Sorry in advance to the people of Glasgow.) Got mums Christmas pressie sorted too (the Body shop is a wonderful place for the unimaginative, except in my case cos mum actually wanted something specific from there. Making me even more unimaginative.) Brother is sorting out dads christmas pressie. something about an audio CD thing. Gave lots of lovely pressies to the lovely people in my life at UEA. Been guartanteed chocolate in return. SORTED! :) (I love chocolate.) So what is the sinister christmas wish list? sit on my lap, tug my beard (it is real, I don't shave) and tell me what you want.
