Shopping, online

When you first get to Cornwall, the fact that you live in tiny, quaint, quintessential English small town is actually pretty cool. Lots of small shops on the "high street", lots of character, lots of fun. Enter Christmas shopping. I challange you to find two T-shirts and a football in less than 7 towns and 3 weeks.

Enter online shopping. On this I am now completely sold. So much so that on top of the fact that we now order groceries on-line, only yesterday I just bought something as trivial as a pack of vacuum cleaner bags on-line. Even with delivery fees, it is cheaper than our equivalent of Canadian Tire (Trago Mills), and I don't have to drive a half an hour each way to get them.

Only gets better of course. If you go to topcashback.co.uk, you can get all of the referral cash that a website would normaly get for sending you to a particular store... so now everthing is about 10% less than it would be if I actually took the time to go to the store.

Scary really. Never need to leave your house. On the other hand... try living here. Now I might actually get a chance to finally mow the lawn... it is getting pretty long! My new Chirstmas charol:

On Amazon
On Next
On Curry's
and Argos
On Tesco
and
Marks (and Spencer)
and
Scott's of Stow
and ASDA
but do you recall
the most famous on-line store of all...

Ebay is awesome... well, actually, that is the end of the song.

Merry Christmas all!!!!!!
