Chrstmas Shopping

The Christmas adverts are in full swing. So I have decided to make inroads into my Christmas shopping this year before the annual mayhem ensues.
An early start buys you time, but the same difficult decisions need to be made. Finding the right gift for a little known Aunt is never straight forward. Fortunately, there is always the Bodyshop. Assortments of unusual smelling products are neatly boxed and presented at a wide range of prices, providing you with plenty of scope. Your contributions may even save an otter or help maintain the habitat for a rare dung beetle, thus providing you with an additional feel good factor.
The Bodyshop are thoughtful enough to place sample testers on their shelves, allowing you try the products prior to making a purchase. Consequently, I selected a bottle that contained a cream containing ingredients from some remote rain forest and squirted it into my hand. Unfortunately, considerably more than I anticipated came out, leaving me with a handful of sticky lotion.
 
Disposal of the aforementioned goo provided me with quite a quandary. However, at that precise moment, my luck changed for the better. A big fat pie pig entered the shop. Probably seeking out a miracle odour masking product, or maybe he just took the wrong turning whilst looking for a Greggs outlet. Either way, it was a godsend to me. I had already made up my mind that I would dispose of the lotion by casually wiping it on other shoppers. The good thing about fatties, is that they provide so much more surface area.

    1. Eve, not all guys carry hand bags when they go shopping.... if they did, they'd probably keep forgetting where they put them!! You know what we are like :) xx

  2. At least the fatty ended up smelling better without even needing to make a purchase.

  6. Now... not sure how many have spotted it.. but I don't do CHRSTMAS shopping and I don't care for CHRISTMAS shopping...
    As a typical male I leave it ALL to the last minute... have a pre-prepared list and route... go out and get it sorted as quickly as possible and usually do the wrapping in the early hours of Christmas morning!! Sorry... but that's me :) xx

  8. Just because a person is fat, it doesn't mean they are not entitled to be treated with dignity.

  10. I'm sure they invent the names of their ingredients in the Bodyshop. I haven't heard of most of them.

    5. I thought the whole point of this blog was that you could say what you want. No limits, nothing taboo.
