MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Shopping
First of all, can you believe it’s week 49 already, and December!! How did that happen? This week I’ve been getting my act together and doing some Christmas shopping. According to my trusted Facebook Memories, I am usually all ready and wrapping by now…eeek!
If I’m honest, I wasn’t looking forward to Christmas this year. I have no desire to decorate or put up my tree. And I didn’t want to think about Christmas shopping. But once I started I couldn’t stop! I’ve still a way to go, but I’m doing good. I’ve even booked the Christmas delivery slot for the food shopping. There isn’t much in the trolley yet but I’ve got enough to secure the slot.
As usual I’ve done a fair bit of shopping online, but I did actually get out and do some shopping too. We went to Smyths Toy Store to try and get some inspiration for the Little Man. He’s just not interested in toys any more, but it was still fun to go. Then we went to a card shop for cards and paper. Finally we ended up having lunch at Marks and Spencer.
Next week I’m really hoping we can have a shopping trip to the German Christmas Market. I haven’t been for years and it would be nice to go. The problem is, everyone wants to go! I’m not sure how that’s going to work out but we do have the bus and the train as well as the car. I just hope it’s not too cold, time to dig out my thermals!!
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Great to hear you could enjoy some of what brings you joy…shopping. I think I am ready now too. I would love to visit the German Christmas market if I can convince myself to be out in the cold! Marks and Spencer lunch sounds so lush too. Merry Christmas when it comes.
I am glad you have started to feel a little Christmassy.
It is rubbish that our kids are no longer into toys. I do miss those days. It sounds like you had a lovely time out shopping. I hope you do get to the Christmas market. x
So happy that you are getting the Christmas feels. I think a bit of shopping therapy always helps.
I secured my Christmas food slot with a crate of beer! Thankfully I’ve added more now. 😉 xxx
Sounds like you’ve had a good start to the Christmas shopping and glad you’ve got the delivery slot for the food shopping too. Hope that you can manage to get your trip to the German Christmas market. #WotW
