Black Friday...

After saying I was going to spend the day hiding in the apartment (or better still, the pub) - I caved and went into town with Abi to brave the Black Friday shoppers...

Luckily, Abi didn't want to go in for the 4am 'door-buster' deals (although there was talk about staying up all night and going into town at 3.30am!), so we went into town at a far more sociable time - lunchtime. Although, it was still HEAVING with shoppers as all the stores had special deals on. The night before, on the news it said it was likely to be the most successful shopping day America's seen for a looooong time - seems the recession's fully over over here.

The shops were looking lovely and Christmassy with all their decorations up, Macy's expecially looked incredibly festive. I know that not all the shops have got their decorations up yet, so it's going to get even more sparkley in the coming weeks... so expect plenty more photos too!

We shopped till we dropped (nearly) and came home with bags a plenty. I Black Friday marked the end of calm days shopping in town now, it was a massive test of our patients and our elbow strength yesterday... I hope we manage to finish our Christmas shopping without losing our cool in the queues!
