Christmas Shopping in the Marl

Everyone was aching this morning and there were a few bruises.

Temperatures were between 0* and 5* but again it was spittling, miserly and foggy. After the kids went to school (Huffle worked from home), Moo and I went to Oshawa Mall and did some Christmas Shopping. It was really warm in there (why do they do that?). We did really well. One of the major shops we went in was a sports shop and we came out with a huge bag full of all sorts for nearly everyone. I got a Snowboarding jacket which was reduced and then reduced again (it was such a good deal that we called Huffle to see if he wanted one and went back later to get one for him).

In the body shop, Moo got her favourite Body butter for buy three get three free and we got buy two get two free on other stuff in there and then when we eventually got to the checkout we had a further 10% discount plus some loyalty points for getting a free membership card.

We briefly stopped for coffee and a muffin before carrying on. Our bags were so heavy we finally gave in, had a quick bite to eat, picked up Huffle's coat and left with armfuls of wrapping paper. I know what we will doing tomorrow.

The boys were already home by the time we got back. Small informed us that SkiClub at school was on and he was signed up ready for January - yay. Shame Smallest can't do it till Grade 4. Both boys helped with clearing and then played on the IPads waiting for their piano teacher to turn up (who didn't turn up but we later found out she wasn't at school either). We all had a dinner which was made up of lots of leftover meals from the freezer. It was very nice.

The kids got ready for Beavers and Scouts and watched TV till Huffle took them for Fencing (Small) and Christmas Activites (Smallest).
