Halloween
Not long at all 'till hol's now, and I've actually hit the point where I'm beginning to worry I don't have enough time to sort out all the things I need to sort out.
I need to sort out my holiday money. Ok, this one should be reletively easy - Going Places usually have travellers cheques and US dollars in stock, so I should be able to pick those up, I'll try straight from work. Oh, and I need to be at the gym for 5 for my training. Not sure if I'll manage to get 3 sessions in this week, but I'll try.
Also need to get hair cut. After work today is out, so is Wednesday (training again) so I'll have to try and book in for tuesday or thursday. Need to pop to Vision Express to pick up contact lenses - thats an hour easy to drive to northwich, try and park, then get back. And they close at 5.. so that'll either have to be tuesday or thursday, whichever doesn't clash with getting my hair cut.
Really need to buy a new case, and probably some more clothes. At least I can do that one night, I'll pop to the trafford center or something. Which I can't do tonight, because it's halloween...
Oh, and I need to kill Rend Blackhand (again) at some point. Must remember to not give this as high a priority as getting holiday stuff sorted...
Halloween. Went shopping for stuff yesterday (candy apples, sweets, decorations, pumpkin, ect) only to find my local asda has sold everything off! All reduced, all cleared. As I entered (around 2pm) they were actually taking down the halloween decorations in order to put more xmas stuff up. I hate the way most retailers can't wait to get things out of the way yet, it's not even halloween until tonight!
It really bugs me when they do this at xmas - in the states you can go xmas shopping on xmas eve - try that here and you'll find nothing but January sale stuff in the stores. Xmas offically ends at about 5pm on the 23rd December according to most UK retail outlets it appears. I was actually told by the asda staff that 'we think most people will be trick-or-treating tonight anyway'. Try that at Zenith towers and they'll get a 'bugger off and come back at Halloween'.
Hopefully, can still get a pumpkin from a local shop (for local people) today.
