My SinL in Cheshire is a Gold medal shopper - she lives to shop - out every day, spending.
Honestly, it’s just not for me.

I’ll join you for the coffee and pastry GG13 and you can show me what you bought😃

I am about to get ready to go to a large shopping mall near me.

I am trying to dissuade DH from accompanying me as I just want to mooch . Specifically beauty products (I fancy a change), The White Company(I admit to being rather obsessed) and I need some mid season tops (after a wardrobe clear out I seem to have high summer or winter, nothing in between).

I will also stop for a coffee and pastry and partake in a favourite pass time of people watching…

I don’t like enormous stores but am happy to go in and browse normal size shops for a while.
I do hate having to shop for a certain item and prefer to find thing in a serendipity type of way😁

I have always hated browing in shops. I shop for purpose and that's it. My dear friend couldn't understand why I didn't enjoy it. She could shop for hours and usually found bargains. That was my idea of hell too

Shopping seems to have become an activity/hobby rather than simply a way of acquiring the things you need or want. My DD is in a big ciy today to take DGC to a university open day. She is so looking forward to going round the shops. It is my idea of hell!

I used to enjoy pottering around the shops a bit when I was younger but reached my end with it when in a huge shopping centre in Manchester looking for a mother-of-the-bride outfit and just told myself Never Again! I hated the whole atmosphere - that horrible enclosed musak space - groan!

Thank goodness for online shopping.

Am I the only person who hates it!?
