24 minutes!

TODAY the BIG W TOY sale catalogue arrived in my mail box! Here is how the afternoon went!

4.15 - look at the catalogue page by page, think hard that Max needs nothing, I want sing star and "do I get the 8 foot or 10 foor jumpoline"!

I see the Wii and think of Miss Alison as she may want one for Rebecca, funnily enough the phone rings and it is Alison. We talk toys and scrapping for 24 minutes (my phone has a timer)

I ring Elleni and talk Wiggles tickets and toys with her, we compare KMARTS prices and talk presents! we talk for 24 minutes!

5.35 - go to leave for the shops to grab some chicken for tea, the phone rings, meaning it is pasta for tea! Karen and I talk tactics about the MIDNIGHT TOY SALE TRADITION. this year we have many options as big w opens at midnight TOO!!! Oh the choices!
for some strange reason we talk for 23 minutes??!!!! that may be a record!

I call local big w and check if they will be open! I get the service girl of the YEAR and she gives me all the hints of where things are going to be. and they are only getting 70 Wiis in bigger stores and 40 in smaller SO RUN people! Oh yes back to my angel, she is a mum of a 2 year old too so of course we get talking!!!! we talk jumpolines too and V tech laptops! She tells me to come in tomorrow lay by everything come and see her on Friday, cancel the layby and re layby it at sale prices!!!! REALLY??!!! I always thought you could do that but felt scabby doing it! My sales angel insists I can do it and then tells me to enjoy my sleep at midnight!!!! NO!!!! the whole tradition involes coffee and cake at Rashaeys first while the TOY TEAM (AKA Karen, Anabel, Tanya and I ) swap maps and lists and PLAN out attack! So I might layby everything and go in anyway!!! LOL
Oh and Naomi and I (sales assistant of the year) spoke for 24 minutes!!! WOW!!!

I call my MIL Ann and we talk TOYS for a while, SIL Donna and I talk jumpoline sizes and if Max will be able to ride a bike (with trainers) at Christmas time as if so she will get a bike!

We eat vege and chesse pasta and leftover bbq from last night...max also ate a bowl of bubbles and 2 choc yogos for dessert (yes he snuck the second one in while I was talking TOYS!!)

Narelle calls! gee I missed home and away ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!! we would have talked for 24 minutes but Daz came in all fired up saying I had hit the garage door with the car!!! MEN! i HIt nothing!!!!!!!!

Am I obsessed or what!!!??? I get a little crazy this time of year...... wish me luck at midnight on Wednesday, I will enjoy my strawberry pancakes at Rashaeys(which I will fast all day for as I am starting a diet tomorrow) and REMEMBER to go to the ladies this time as last time I ran for toys I had to STOP or it was not going to be pretty!

on that note! GOODNIGHT!!!!!

Hey Bel,
You are a funny chicken. Have a super time at the toy sales. I just could not be bothered. I would end up in a serious punch up. So I will have to leave the shopping to you. Man you pack enough into one night don't you. Can't wait for the holidays - have to try and squeeze in a scrap. Not sure when my mum and dad are coming to visit. But we need to scrap as we always say that we are going got BUT never do anything about it.
Love Ya Long Time
