Boxing Day Sales 2014

I'm sorry if I haven't been posting for rather a long time. I'm still recovering from the Boxing Day sales.

Uh-huh.

They were that exhausting.

If you're visiting my blog from abroad, firstly, welcome, and secondly, you might be wondering what on earth these 'Boxing Day sales' entail if they mean a three-week recovery period.

That, my friends, is what Boxing Day is about.

SALE.

Prices fall, shops discount their Christmas ranges (so you look at the gift set you got for Auntie Elfia and feel like you've been ripped off, and decide to get her present for next Christmas today), and shoppers crowd into spaces you didn't even know shoppers could crowd into.

Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent was the destination of choice for thousands of humans and one elf.

Oh, and one seagull swooping in on the action.

And several ducks, a couple of swans............

PRACTICALLY EVERYONE.

Anyway. Back to the shopping.

With Accessorize selling, um, accessories at half price, I couldn't resist going in. Only to realise, of course, that what they sell as 'handbags' are for me, 'sleeping bags'.

If you're planning to go this year, make sure you get there early, since there are so many people jostling around. Otherwise it kind of turns into Game of Thrones.

Look, see? Houses Baratheon and Stark have already put up their banners.

*shudders*

I'm getting out of here.

See you soon,
