Final Shopping Expedition of 2009..?

Ouch! I�ve woken up with a really stiff neck this morning � not sure how I�ve got that.

We�re off shopping to Leicester to get any last minute bits-and-pieces. There isn�t much left to do and I�ve also got 50 quids worth of M and S vouchers from Lee and Bertie to squander � lovely!!!

We parked in Highcross and it was already getting busy when we arrived at 11am. We started off looking around various jewellers primarily to find something for Ann as a celebration of 25 years together � Ann had sorted me out with a new watch a few weeks back. Initially, we didn�t see very much that we liked, and we disappointed that having walked all the way over to where Ann�s office is and more jewellers � they were all closed!

So, we headed back, stopped off at the Muffin Place for a coffee, a slice of cake and to experience possibly the happiest person in the UK currently � the proprietor � wishing everyone a happy Christmas and an enjoyable day!!!

We popped into M and S where I spent the vouchers on a couple of shirts and a stripy tie. Ann also picked up some shoes for work and some fluffy slippers.

I tried John Lewis to see if they stocked these headphones that have an FM aerial built-in them (so I can listen to the radio  on my new phone), but the guy reckoned the item was a �bit specialist� and suggested I tried Google for stockists.

Last stop, and we ended up back at Goldsmith�s where Ann spotted some very nice jewellery - the helpful assistant, Laura, was very knowledgeable and agreed to order some additional stone variations in for us to go back and have a look at next Saturday.

We were home by 2.15. Time for feet up and a read of the today�s papers.
