Christmas Gamble

Well had to go out this morning and wasnt looking forward to that but.....

Left at 8am and the roads were fine got into Waitrose in Bury St Edmonds at 8.20 as there was very little traffic....

Waitrose was fairly dead so out of there by 8.45....

Into Debernhams where it felt like they had opened the store just for me as that was dead too...

And they had a sale on.......Brought myself a nice coat...£150 reduced to £50....

And also a woolly £50 reduced to £15 .....

Met a couple of mates in Cafe Rouge and now back home all sorted....

In the end a great idea to leave it till the last minute.....

ffs Waitrose!! You can tell where the money is!! (are you sure you are not being paid by BET 365??) have you noticed no one has a shopping trolley to shop there? I doubt anyone could afford to do the weekly shop there!!!

Just wait till next year Herbie when i start to get the winners flowing again...

Stick with me m8 and this time next year you will be shopping there on your "Waitrose VIP card"......

Actually i do shop there when in Bury as if you spend £20 you get 3 hours free parking.....and at 2.20 an hour to park in the town that saves me £6.60 which i put towards my ciggies.....(which are 70p a packet cheaper in there then the garage....

).

Also they do have the odd offer but NEVER buy any household stuff like cleaning gear etc....Thats a rip off...
