2320: I went shopping this afternoon with my housemate, Anna, and a friend of hers, Natalie. Never again.
First off, girls are so easily distracted. You can barely walk 5 feet in a shop without needing to stop because they found some sparkly shiny thing that snagged their attention as they walked past. However, buying Polar Pete was quite fun...
Natalie was looking for a hotwater bottle (she's the one in the photo), and the only one we could find was Polar Pete, the Polarbear. There were three left, and after we took one, we thought the other two looked lonely.... so we flipped Polar Pete (in lieu of a coin), and decided to get the second one for her mum. Then, of course, the last one was all on his own, so we got that one for her dad. The photo is just before the checkout.
Anna then comes back, and finds another, really cute little hotwater bottle, and suddenly one Polar Pete is headed back to the shelf, kicked out by the newcomer, a small furry bear. Then, just when everything is payed for, another bottle is found, this time in the guise of a large dog. So it's back to the checkout, and a refund is given on the bear.. it is now kicked out, and Natalie and her mum get a Polar Pete, and her dad gets Berkeley (the dog).

In other news, I spent 5 hours banging my head on the wall because a program for an assessment wouldn't work, and then another 2 hours kicking myself when I realised how stupid I had been, and how simple the mistake was. Ooops.
