Its been a damned long day. too too long.
its eid. the muslim christmas. time for families to gather and unite in good times. gone are the days where it was £10 to everyone (thats alot of cash going out once you work it out!). its all about gifts and clothing. you gotta shop around to find something appropriate for everyone. christians do it once a year - we gotta do it twice!! its a bit harder though especially with this one being so close to christmas so you gotta compete with the rushes of the people running around.
anyway back to me
the night wasnt easy and the day was just as hard. full houses - not just full - brimming with people.
brimming with so much people to find 5 mins on your own isnt a right. its a priviledge!
no time to take 5 and grab a quick nap despite being kept awake by the new demon arrival. something's gotta settle that stomach of hers so she can have a nice sleep through the night!
just rush here there and everywhere.
not even some peace and quiet when you want to play mariokart. you just want to have some fun on a day off. fun where you can just enjoy the time without worrying about anything. but no - nag nag nag nag - you just want to have a day where we can just get along and have fun.
but to be honest i wouldnt swap it for anything!
the atmosphere's been great. everyone's been chilled out. no major domestics and no drama so far! (its only 9pm - not long to go but you never know what could happen next...

It is a hard knock life!!
there's no denying it
its a hard knock life. especially now with the current recession.
you'd be pretty enclosed not to have noticed the high street quieter than an average day.
yesterday (saturday 6/12) a local gamestation store was meant to have approx £26K in sales, selling the 360 to the gamer geeks and the wii's to the masses of families wanting that great day in. instead it trolled in £7K.
ok it was cold and frosty. when hasnt it been cold in previous years though? it was a new store so not many people were aware of it and maybe the HQ over estimated it too but still. everyone is feeling the pinch. store's are being forced to downsize to smaller units to avoid the extra overheads that arent bringing in the cash.
this definatly is a great time for those that saved. recently i went to look at a new car and almost without playing hardball the dealer was preparing to knock off £2.5K from a £8K vehicle!
this is not even going with the current "hype" of buying one car and getting another free!!
its a crazy world and it takes craziness of another level to stay alive.
