There's no time like the present!
This past week has been a blur for me. University has finished for the holidays, festive fever has hit work and the countdown till I go home has begun. So basically I had one single free day to get all my Christmas shopping done, so where did I head to? Culver Square of course. I got there at 9.30am and spent a full day until the shops closed but managed to tick off my entire list, which I was extremely impressed with as I’m not known for my patience. My two best friends this time of year are TKMaxx and Debenhams, they are like havens for presents, especially if you have a lot of people to buy for. I reckon you could literally find everything in there if you had to. So those places proved extremely helpful in my mission this week. But then I needed specialist items, I couldn't possibly disclose the items I've purchased in fear of the family members stumbling across this blog, however I stumbled across an amazing service this week. I needed a product from Schuh and I’m frantically checking the night before I go shopping at gone midnight, worrying whether they will have the item in store and I actually managed to search and reserve the item in the Colchester store for the next morning, so as the doors opened at 9am I marched in and collected them with no problems. It truly was a Christmas miracle. Mission accomplished on the Friday and so I was very happy to savour some toasted marshmallows on the way to work on the Saturday knowing I was all ready for Christmas. I hope you’ve all sorted your shopping ready for the festivities and you have wonderful family filled Christmases! See you on the other side!
