Over the next few days they’ll be everywhere; in our letterboxes, newspapers, radios, televisions; promises of anything you could ever want at extremely low prices.
The post Christmas sales have started.
There were streams of cars heading into the local shopping centre as I pedalled to work today and it looked pretty full on my return trip. Everyone wants a bargain.
It’s always good to get something you need at a good price but I think a lot of sales simply convince us that wanting something and needing it are the same thing just so that they can sell us more stuff.
I may pick up a bargain or two in the coming days but heading back into the shops at this time of year is a scary experience. It’s not just the crowds that bother me or even the people that treat sales like a military manoeuvre; they take no prisoners, only bargains.
The scariest thing is walking into a shop to find the item for which you payed full price as a Christmas gift a few days ago, is now at 75% off.

I don’t know which is the busiest time at the shops, pre or post Christmas??
I feel the same way about the shop’s this time of year, it’s even worse when you have to take the kids along!
Anyway thankyou for your comment in my new blogg, and yes this city is beautiful and one of a kind.
