Patience Is A Virtue

 

Last Friday I had no lessons at school.  So I decided to go to Cardiff to start my Christmas shopping.  I did most of it.  I only have two more presents to buy, something for my father and uncle.

 

 

I browsed around many shops.  But I spent most of my time in a shop called T.K. Maxx.  My uncle said it was one of his favourite shops.  Apparently, he has bought many birthday and Christmas presents from the store.

 

 

I walked in and let out a big sigh.  All I could see was shelves of this, racks of that.  My initial reaction was “Oh My God! Will I actually find anything here?” 

 

 

But undaunted I made my way into the Store.  I was determined this Christmas shopping was going to be done today.   I looked at this and that there is so much to choose from I hardly knew where to start!

 

 

You can pick up some good bargains if you look in the right places.  All you need is Patience!

 

 

I have discovered you need plenty of that when you shopping for Christmas presents.  It is hard to think what the person would like.  That gives me a big headache, but all the agonizing decisions are worth it when you see the person’s smile as they open your present on Christmas morning.

I am having problems in gaining access again to journals,though had no probs with yours. so it is definately testing mine again this evening,I am just so fed up of AOL.I am in two minds if or not to continue in J/Land.Whats the point when half the time you cannot access your own to make an entry.Take Care.

Again with the shiny distracting pictures. How do you expect me to focus on your writing when you do that, Leigh? lol kidding...

You're smart to start Christmas shopping early. I've yet to even think about it yet. Probably won't for a while now. lol clever you.
