Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 358 - Off to Chaddy!

Headed to Chadstone after a lazy morning that I spent wishing Merry Christmas to all my Twitter tweeps (especially the Triberr ones) and on Facebook to get some last minute gifts for Ric and Uncle John and some shorts for me (both my pairs I brought with me wore off in the crotch) ... sushi for lunch (nice and light) ...

Back home to wrap Christmas presents and start cooking the Christmas nibblies for the next day (I did meatballs and Steve started his prawns), all the while watching #CarolsbyCandlelight which were wonderful ... so Christmassy - god mix of carols, hymns and modern tunes ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 356 - Shop away, shop away all

Off to Chadstone mall for 5-6 hours of intense Christmas shopping that took us along the endless shop-filled corridors and yielded all the presents we still needed to get bar two with a yummy yum cha and tea lunch at the Oriental Tea House ... an exhausting but wonderful day - Steve and I make a great shopping team ...

Then off to Carnegie to Spotlight to get Stella's gifts ...

Took these shots and texted to Waz

After all the shopping headed to Steve's mum and dad to make the famous Christmas faces, which included some rather hipster and Salvador dali-esque ones ...

Then dinner .... garlic prawns and chicken and salad ...
