To shop or not to shop

That is the question !, Today has been a day of swilling away the last of the snow & the dirt it leaves behind, how can something so white & beautiful when it first falls become a dirty slurry. Hopefully we will be frost free tonight as my nicely hosed steps & path will become an ice rink, perhaps I should hang a disclaimer on the gate for the paperboy & the postman, yes the postman we are getting post on a Sunday to catch up with the backlog.

To get back to my original train of thought should I fight my way into the local town or shopping mall tomorrow & with all the pushing & shoving come home empty handed, foot sore & grumpy or should I sit here with a nice cup of coffee & peruse some of my friends websites & find that perfect gift for that not so perfect relative.

Well I have made a start already & chosen this blanket for my totally spoilt dog who hasn't been very well lately, she is much improved & deserves a soft fleecy blanket to snuggle up on. I also love the personalised aprons one of those will be perfect for Auntie Susan which one though, decisions, decisions.
