This is what I saw
The school holiday is next week so there were lots of people buying for holidays and I could hear a few conversations as I stood in the que but do people really need so much new stuff? All you hear on the news is about how everyone is struggling to pay bills and mortgages due to all the price increases and yet go to any shopping centre and I'm sure you will see loads of people loaded up with bags. Many of those people will be unemployed. Ok I'm making assumptions but this is based on conversations with people, parents of children etc who complain about their finances and then buy unnecessary things, tell me that their children would never wear clothes from a certain shop (What??) or make sure their children have a new outfit for every single kids party, disco or whatever. It is I know, none of my business and I want my children to have what they need, however I work for it and I don't buy excessive amounts of anything I feel for myself or them. I will be hemming a couple of pairs of trousers later down into shorts that are a bit short in the leg but are still good, I will be taking away with me some of my refashioned clothes and I will be very grateful that I am in a position to able to travel.
Looking forward to seeing this

I hope to have lots of images to share when I get back, we are just going for 5 days as the flights worked out so much cheaper to go Sunday to Thursday as I always need to travel in school holidays. We also booked it all back in September and we have found that the hotel is really expensive for anyone booking last minute.
I hope all the people out doing their insane mad shopping trips today also enjoy their holidays and haven't ran up too much debt to spoil it all when they get back.
when we go on holiday, we never take anything new - who cares, no one knows me when I get there!
