Went to Cardiff today, thought I'd just have a little walk about and maybe...........

[welshlibranr]

......do a little Christmas shopping while I was there!........It was crazy!....the crowds were unbelievable, I was just carried along with the throng of folk, couldn't go into many shops!.....Was just being carried along!...........It wasn't this bad this time last year, is it this way where you are?

[welshlibranr]

not answering my own thread guys, just trying to keep the idiot at bay!...............

[boxtops]

welsh, I never shop in December if I can help it - I think it's worse this year because people couldn't get out last week. When I lived in Brighton I never went to the city on a Saturday in December, it was hell on wheels.

[sherrardk]

Only popped into Aldi and it was packed - dread to think what town was like (I have told the kids we aren't going to any shops until after Christmas!). Haven't started shopping yet so I am going to write a list and send my husband to Toys R Us.

[mollykins]

There were far more people shopping yesterday than today, even though it was warmer today and just as many shops open.

[treetops1]

Were you roller skating Boxtops. Lol

[welshlibranr]

I went today boxtops, mainly because I had nothing better to do, have done 99% of the shopping, so didn't need to do any really, but couldn't believe how many folk were there!...........Never seen it so busy!..........

I went to town yesterday and swore when I got home that I was not going in on a Saturday again until January.

[erin-x]

I was working today and it's been our best Sunday yet, takings-wise.. it was really busy. I nearly lost my voice asking people if they wanted stamps or top-ups!

[boxtops]

LOL treetops, I have enough trouble standing up on my feet - OH had to come back across the road to fetch me last week, in case I fell over crossing the snowy road.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm doing all mine from the comfort of my own home online.

[welshlibranr]

Snap Prudie! I swore the same thing whe I got home too!.........And, erin, do you work in Cardiff?................

[LadyEyre]

I live in Lisvane but I never venture into Cardiff central, too same-city-ish.

[erin-x]

Nah, i'm in Fife.. were in quite a small town but it was just as busy as the bigger stores this weekend. I work in superdrug if you were wondering, lots of christmas pressies :)

[welshlibranr]

LadyEyre, I live in Porthcawl, sorry don't know where Lisvane is?......near to Cardiff I presume?..............you do right, best avoided until after Xmas/New Year!........

[NazNomad]

Well, I'm going shopping tomorrow, I'll get back to you ... Although our town isn't quite on the same scale as Cardiff, lol.

[welshlibranr]

thought it was Superdrug when you said that you're tired of asking if they want stamps or mobile top ups!..............lol...............Oh Fife!.......lovely area!.........bet you have lots of snow there!..............

[LadyEyre]

you need to googe lisvane, lovely residential area.

[welshlibranr]

Ok LadyEyre, will do!.....have only lived on South Wales for a few years, so not familiar with many areas!..................

[erin-x]

Haha! the customers think getting asked is annoying.. try asking it hundreds of times a day! lol.. It sure is.. today is the first time ive had my car out all week!.. got my dad to dig it out for me :)

[LadyEyre]

I work at the university, very handy for me
