I didn't know there was black friday in England as I thought it was because of thanksgiving that's celebrated in the USA..no other country. Interesting. Nice goods you got. I did shop this evening after work at a store and all was 50% off and my military discount as well, another 15% off ....a warm shirt and 2 pr of sox...almost bought a purple back pack purse but didn't...maybe later? Will see.

Black Friday here really started on Thursday (Thanksgiving - not even giving you time to finish the meal lol). I really don't agree with that. People who work in the shops don't even get the holiday Thanksgiving off any more as the shops open in the afternoon to shop! The only place I went was the bookshop as they had 30% off their magazines and I treated myself to some of the English ones (which can be quite expensive!). Some of the other items on 'sale' are actually cheaper later - closer to ChristmasSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-15199481090575048082018-11-27T03:31:11.825+00:002018-11-27T03:31:11.825+00:00I just can't believe my eyes when I see some o...I just can't believe my eyes when I see some of the newscasts from the states where people are fighting and grabbing stuff out of peoples hands. Not for me. Didn't see anything like that here. We were out and about the last few days and didn't see any big crowds.

There didn't seem to be anything more unusual price wise than a normal sale. We took advantage of a few items but we actually don't need a lot at the moment - I am mindful that I don't want to refill the space I have just uncovered!<br />Looking forward to seeing your craft project.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-56879755067847982432018-11-26T09:22:27.584+00:002018-11-26T09:22:27.584+00:00I took my daughter to the osteopath on Friday and ...I took my daughter to the osteopath on Friday and there was little bizz in the big town.
