Hurrah, it's Black Friday

It's Black Friday and I'm so excited. I've been looking online and I'm absolutely buzzing. The offers on some electrical goods are amazing. Laptops with 20% off, TV sets down by as much as 25%, and all manner of computing accessories at giveaway prices. There are coffee machines with ? off and toasters at ½ price. I've seen hair care and shaving gift sets at ridiculously low prices, and scented candles and aromatic oils.

If only I needed, or even slightly wanted, a laptop, a TV set, a coffee machine, a toaster, computing accessories, scented candles or aromatic oils; if only I wasn't pissed off by all the emails from Amazon and Ebay and God knows who else warning me not to miss out on this Black Friday extravaganza; if only I weren't a grumpy, irascible old git who just wants to be left alone, what a fantastic day it would be.

In that case, turn off your phone, pc, tv and anything which could possibly stick adverts in your face.

But then I would be riddled with anxiety, molly, thinking I might miss a bargain.

I did pretty much all my christmas and birthday shopping for my grandchildren in an hour a couple of weeks ago. Two of them have birthdays near the festive season.

That's unlike me. I usually start my shopping on christmas eve, but one of the birthdays spurred me on.

And I had a bit of luck finding things, which is great because I don't like shopping.

I'm the opposite, Jac
I'm usually organised early as I hate last minute shopping. But I've only bought 2 presents yet..,eeek

Everyone on my Christmas gift list gets a £20 note in their card, jac. Unfortunately, the bank doesn't do special offers on £20 notes, they always charge full price.

I always think it very inconsiderate of people to have birthdays at Christmas, Blue.

I didn't even realise it's Black Friday when I grabbed two gorgeous winter coats today one silver grey alpaca and one bear brown angora for a fraction of the price...

Call me shallow...

My granddaughter's birthday is new year's eve.

She arrived in time for a party and I think she considered that one rather carefully.

There's no shame in bagging a bargain if you do it accidentally, pK.

Babies can be so cynical and materialistic, jac.

Nah, she just has a zest for life, the like of which I've never seen. I can't fault her for that.

As I remember it, jac, all a baby's wants are accompanied with zest.

My granddaughter is coming up eight years old and her zest for life has been evident from the beginning, including two rather stressful visits to A&E because her urge to live life to the fullest outweighed any consideration of the consequences.

My daughter was a different kettle of fish. She felt things deeply and carefully considered the best way to tackle death defying feats in order to avoid, well, death.

I'm off topic, sorry. Consumerism, yay.

I thought you were talking about your most recent arrival, jac, but they all start out as babies.

You are worth more than that, molly. If I bought you something I would insist on it being full price.

That sounds a bit too retro, molly.

Molly I give up.
