Can`t believe how quiet it was - parked easy as anything, no queues!! The shops seem to have loads of stock and are marking prices down by the looks of things so perhaps some last minute bargain hunting tomorrow

It's not if you don't care what you buy them.

We went in to Newcastle city centre on Sunday, expecting it to be horrendous, but it was great! Got parked no probs, did a lot more than we'd planned because of the conditions, got out again with no big jams - result!

Having said that, did most of our actual Christmas shopping on-line. The only difficult bit was persuading family and friends that what they REALLY wanted for Christmas was a CD/DVD/book, so we could put one big order in to Amazon

Apparently Internet shopping has gone exponential this year?
