I hate shopping

I hate shopping, or at least I hate shopping expeditions when I can't find anything. Three hours of trudging around with no results just seems like lost time doesn't it? There are so many better things I could have done in those 3 hours eg logging onto blipfoto, reading a book...... at least now with an MP3 I can listen to some decent podcasts.
Shops are so difficult now, the vast choice becomes overwhelming.
But a good evening, out for a meal with old friends and new friends.
