THE LIST SEEMED NEVER ENDING.

BUT I STILL PLODDED ON MY WAY.

I KNEW I WOULD BE WEARY.

BY THE ENDING OF THE DAY.

SHOPPING ONLINE IS EASY.

BUT I LOVE TO TOUCH AND FEEL.

THE QUALITY OF THE GARMENTS.

AND SEE THEM ALL FOR REAL.

I STOPPED FOR A CAPPACHINO.

TO REST MY ACHEING BACK.

WITH A CRUMBLY FLAPJACK THAT TASTED GOOD.

I LOVE MY MORNING SNACK.

OFF ON MY WAY AGAIN I STROLLED .

THE BAGS WERE GETTING MORE.

MY FEET THEY STARTED ACHEING.

AND MY HEELS WERE FEELING SORE.

STILL I HAD TO CARRY ON.

AS I WASN'T GOING HOME.

WITHOUT HALF MY LIST ALL BOUGHT AND TICKED.

OR THEN I KNEW I WOULD MOAN.

SO I CALLED INTO THE HANDYMANS.

A GARDEN SIGN TO CHOOSE.

WITH A SPECIAL MESSAGE PRINTED ON.

THE PRICE IT WASN'T GOOD NEWS.

OH! BLOW IT I SAID TO THE HANDYMAN.

GO ON  IT'S BUT ONCE A YEAR.

AND WHEN THEY OPEN IT CHRISTMAS MORN.

I KNOW IT WILL BRING THEM  CHEER.

WITH THAT ALL ORDERED AND PAID FOR.

I THEN SKIPPED ACROSS THE ROAD.

TO THE MINI BANK TO ASK IT NICE.

SOME MORE NEW NOTES TO UPLOAD.

COR BLIMEY! I DO LOVE GIVING.

BUT IT'S GETTING RATHER DEAR.

EVERY TIME CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND.

I VOW I WON'T DO IT NEXT YEAR.

RIBBONS CHIFFON TO WRAP ROUND THEM.

AND SOME SANTA CARRIERS TOO.

FOR A FEW GOODIES FOR THE CHILDREN.
