So begins the first week of our Christmas holiday, or as one of my teachers called it “Your revision leave”. That particular teacher is no longer a favourite of mine.
And what better way to start the festive season than to do a little Christmas shopping? So off Jasmine and I went, to join the hoard of last minute buyers in our city centre. We were focused on our goal, we were determined to buy a present. But first we had to have lunch. And coffee. And then find a shop with a toilet.

Finally, we were ready to undertake our mission. “What would a 17 year old want?” we thought, before visiting the Early Learning Centre. “What would they really use?” We asked ourselves, while examining a ‘gardener’s kit’ in John Lewis. “What would make their Christmas?” we wondered, as Jasmine methodically picked every plastic food item out of a child’s ‘shopping bag’ in Boots.
After several hours of hard work, we were where we had started. Presentless and downtrodden, we’d manage to purchase one Christmas card. We finally learnt our lesson: Don’t think about what you’re buying, just buy it.
So into HMV we marched, picked up something, marched to the till and handed over our money. Job done.

Learn from our mistake, readers, never try and buy something that someone will actually LIKE. It’s just not worth it.
