HAVE YOU NOT HAD ENOUGH?????!!!

WHAT POSSESS PEOPLE TO GO OUT INTO THE SHOPS AGAIN AFTER ALL THE CHRSITMAS HYPE? I FOUND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO BACK TODAY. IT WAS A DISASTEROUS CHRSITMAS MORNING FOR "A" WHEN SHE OPENED HER "RATCHET AND CLANK 3 " PLAYSTATION GAME TO FIND.....................NO DVD!!!! STUPID ME, FORGOT THAT THE SALES STAFF TAKE THE DVD'S AND CD'S OUT OF THE CASES AND KEEP THEM UNDER LOCK AND KEY TILL YOU ASK, ALL FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. LUCKY FOR ME I KEPT THE DOCKET, SO OFF WE WENT FIRST THING THIS MORNING, ALONG WITH A BLOUSE THAT WAS TOO BIG AND A TALKING TEDDY THAT RAN OUT OF STEAM EVEN WITH FRESH BATTERIES! I KNEW ALL THE SALES WERE ON...20/30 AND 50% OFF MOST ITEMS...............I WATCHED THE NEWS FOOTAGE OF WOMEN GETTING KNOCKED OVER, PUSHING AND SHOVING EACH OTHER JUST TO GET A BARGAIN. NORMAL WOMEN WHO TURN SAVAGE AT THE THOUGHT OF SAVING A FEW BUCKS.....UNREAL. SO WE GOT THERE VERY EARLY....8.15AM.....WAS VERY PLEASANT INDEED......FIRST IN THE LINE...NO DRAMAS EVERYTHING FIXED UP AND POLITE SALES STAFF TOO.
WHEN WE WERE LEAVING, THE TRAFFIC WAS GETTING HEAVY. HAVING WET WEATHER TODAY HELPED I THINK. IT WAS AN OVERCAST CHRISTMAS DAY ALTHOUGH 34C, AND BOXING DAY WAS THE SAME. TODAY A PLEASANT 27 WITH LIGHT RAIN.....NICE.
ON OUR WAY HOME WE WENT PAST THE LOCAL K MART STORE..................HOLY CRAP, THE CAR PARK WAS FULL AT 9AM. OTHER DEPT STORES WE VENTURED PAST, HAD CAR PARKS JUST AS FULL. DON'T THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LIFE? DO YOU ALL LIVE FOR SHOPPING? PERSONALLY, I AM WRECKED AND DOG TIRED AFTER MY KID AWOKE CHRISTMAS MORNING AT 4.30AM.......ITS THE END OF THE YEAR,HOT,END OF MY STUDIES FOR 3 MONTHS,COURTS CLOSED FOR A FEW WEEKS AFTER ONE HECTIC YEAR FOR ME.......................I WANT THE REST..............I WANT TO STAY HOME..........I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING WORSE THAN SHOPPING WITH A MILLION OTHERS.....................BAH! RELAX PEOPLE..........RELAX.

Jack ~ LOL...nope it involves none of those! I think...and you better get gemmak to stand in and correct me here, that boxing day is derived from the 18th century in England......people used to pay taxes to the king...the day after christmas he'd get his men to go round and collect from the people........LOL maybe i dreamed this.....but i know Australia took it on from the UK......better ask Gem! Love the email....hilarious!!!

Brian ~ It was like a battlefield out there! So glad to be home vegging today. Yes, we both love the playstation.......Ratchet & Clank 3 is brilliant......waiting for Jak 3 now!

I'm with you Michelle!
Jack, Boxing Day originates from the middle ages when the squire received a present of money from his lord - in a box. Nothing to do with Mike Tyson et al. I'm afraid! :)
