Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

the bossas I was working over Xmas, the boss said I could stay at hers, with another co worker, which was good of her as my family are 4 hours away. She would cook Xmas dinner if I got the pudding, which was to be ice cream, cheese cake and strawberries. I was also going to get her a present, nothing big, she had moaned about losing her Christmas tunes CD, and it was the least I could do.
I woke up at about four o'clock on Xmas eve ready to go into town to get these items. I decided to stop off in a bar where my mate works for a couple of cheap drinks. I was telling him I had the shopping to do when he told me most shops close about five (the time being five to five). In a panic, I hurried down to the main street and dived into HMV, where the security told me they'd be open about 15 minutes. Great, easily enough time. Until I saw the queue, which stretched over three walls. Fuck this, I'll just get the food.
Went to Sainsbury's. No cheesecake, we ran out. No strawberries, we ran out. No ice cream, we don't do ice cream.
Ended up buying au tart chocolat and giving her [i]xmas wrapping paper[/i] as her present. Go me :|
