Christmas shopping

I've done all my Christmas shopping, well almost - I have one more to get.

I made the mistake of meandering past Fortum and Mason last night and 'popped in'... to pick up a few little bits - it was magical, but the rather second rate choir wasn't that fun...

I also found myself in the middle of the student riots, saw 200 or so 'youths' running down Piccadilly chased by 15 or so police vans full of riot police in hot persuit... normally I would say exciting, but it was slightly alarming!!

Obviously I've spent far too much money, realised half way through I forgot to buy anything for my Aunt and Uncle etc etc.

But I'm quite pleased with my lot - I'm just looking forward to giving presents, especially to my Godson and his brother - they are crazy about Lego pirates, because of my obsession with horses - I'm trying to switch them to lego knights.

I also get to have two Chrismas days - excellent, I recently lost three stone - so it will be great in my campaign to keep the weight off... hooray!!
