Never, ever, ever again.

Trying to do Christmas shopping on the last Saturday before Christmas is an exercise in pain. I am currently thanking various gods for the fact that most of my Christmas gifts to people are going to be handmade this year.

It could've been worse. I could've gone into the West End. As it was, I stuck to the area between Wood Green and Turnpike Lane. Which was as still a total zoo, but nowhere near as bad as Oxford Street would've been. I did not, however, find most of what I was looking for. There are certain authors that, as far as anything but the huge branches of most chain bookstores are concerned, just don't exist. Still, I managed okay, and now there's a couple of bits and pieces for various folks. It's all good, and I'm just glad to be home in one piece. I'll probably be picking up another thing or two for Mum and David on the Friday but at least that's not before Christmas...

Oh, yes. Too much going on the weekend-ish after Christmas. [livejournal.com profile] doccy wants to run combat training on the 28th. Mum's looking at the 28th or 29th for parental dinner. And then of course there's the Yuletide one-off RPG. So ... maybe Mum's for the 29th, give me the day of the 28th for shopping for their bits and bobs, and the RP on the 30th? Maybe? I dunno - I suck at planning sometimes. And I'm cold and tired, and just want to sit down with a Death by Serotonin and watch a DVD while I wait for Sims 2 to load, then faff with said Sims for a bit.

NEVER AGAIN!
