Today is a better day. I have bought my best friend's little sister a really cool pair of warm looking paul frank slippers, and I picked up a dvd that I'd already paid for and bought my housemate a calender of Johnny Depp who she adores to the point of obsession (we're doing Secret Santa this year). A present I ordered for another friend (Eagle vs Shark) arrived in the post, and I ordered a cute new jacket and scarf online. I also finally got the courage to take back a present I'd bought for my boyfriend, and used the money to buy Benefit Beautiful Eyes :)
I'd bought him The Life Acquatic on dvd, a book called No one else belongs here more than you by Miranda July (who he adores), a hat (which I returned) and a soap dispenser in the shape of a cow (he's a bit ocd about washing his hands, plus he's moving into a new flat soon, so it was a sort of housewarming christmas present.)
Anyway, he'd have really loved his presents is essentially what I'm saying. And since he's still being a twat to me even though we're finished, I decided I'd prefer to have a present instead of him. I'm keeping the book and the dvd, but the cow soap was a very personal thing so I might just chuck it in with his stuff when I give him it all at Christmas.
I also had lunch with a friend and printed some lecture notes! All in all it's been quite a good day.
And it's been sunny. What more could a girl want? Lovely lovely day. Christmas shopping is really pleasing me at the moment.
