subject: New Years Toy Bonanza [print this page] The January sales have begun, actually some of the sales started before Christmas, with the economic climate still coming out of recession many stores decided to hold their annual January sales earlier in hope to entice customers to spend.
I waited until the Boxing Day sales to get my bargains, I opted against queuing up for the large Next sale, I love my bargains but sleep always gets priority. I was down in London last Boxing Day and hit Oxford Street, this year Im stuck in Peterborough till the 5th of January. On my return to the capital though, I will be hitting the streets.
Ive done a little bit of sale shopping here in Peterborough, my cousins birthdays are coming up and as Im going to be in London I bought them their toys now. I checked out the large Toys R Us we got in the local mall but it was so packed I didnt really have a thorough look around. I went into a hobby shop and picked up a Parkzone Radian Glider, hell love that.
For my other cousin I cheated, I went online and booked her a Spa day at a centre close to her home, its simple, easy and relaxing. While booking the Spa for her I booked a mini make over session for myself, cheeky I know but I deserve it.
My mum went crazy at the sales, she bought so much stuff not just for herself but for me, my dad and the house. I dont know how she does it, the queue at the shops are horrendous. Ive seen scuffles break out and people fainting in these queues, so I stay well clear of them.
