Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

Not me but my former step dadHe was a coach driver and mum was married to him around the time that BP were doing those premier points that you could spend at Argos,he also became a compulsive gambler towards the end of the marriage (maybe to do with sharing a house with me, I dunno). Anyway, one year he'd spent all his money backing some horse and lost (as usual) so as he'd amassed so many of these premier points he decided to spend them at Argos instead of forking out any money he had left, and what did he buy the supposed love of his life?
A dictaphone, without batteries or tapes. Thing is, she didn't even need the thing as she had one to use from work for the extremely rare occasions that she needed it.
The year before he bought some Swarofski (sp?)crystal chicks (baby chickens in other words) from the airport duty free shop as he'd obviously forgotten to buy anything before we were set to go on holiday. I pointed out to him that she already had this particular set which was met with the response of "fuck off!"
Strange how the marriage didn't last long after that holiday, maybe something to do with my brother and I torturing and humiliating him on that holiday.
