The Devil Finds Work for Idle Hands..........

I have still got to update on my Sweden trip, and now also I have pictures on my trip to France with the family and Dave's (best mate, not any of the other ones) wedding in Avignon. But in the meantime have a look at this..........i've highlighted the stuff I can see myself doing.

Did you ever wonder what a husband does while he is in a store waiting on his wife to shop? Check out the following letter.

Dear Mrs. Harkins, Our store is considering banning your family from ever shopping with us again, unless your husband stops his antics. Below is a >list of offenses over the past few months... all verified by our surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3 in Housewares!" ..... and watched what happened.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.
6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a camping tent in the sporting goods department, and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the Bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled "PICK ME!, PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut he door and waited a while; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

Remind me not to take you shopping, Chux. Glad your wifey's been forewarned. (Still, I rather like the tomato juice trailing into the loo idea. . .)

They're wonderful, chux. Oh, wouldn't you like to see some of them happening?

I am getting a vibe that you don't enjoy shopping very much.... My long suffering boyfriend had to deal with me "boot shopping" in Guildford on Saturday. Oh well, at least it was in Guildford, and he now knows what the perfect boots look like...

I agree Clare that I have been obsessing about shopping recently. Gonna have to do something else i think.
