The Best Christmas Trip Out Ever

I take Brains, Alan, Tin Tin, Bluey, Bingo, K9, Twiki and Marvin The Paranoid Android on a trip to the big city to do some artistic Christmas shopping at Hobbycraft. It's their first time, and they look around to see all the wonderful sights and smells - Bluey also sees someone a bit like her on some of the products, and I meet a new friend - a pup in a wheelchair named Mousse, who is disabled. Mousse and his carer Twinkle agree to join us, and we all have a nice, filling Grinch meal from McDonald's before we fantasise being on a desert island and make a few stops at Home Bargains and Tesco during dusk on the way home.

What Would Maisy Do - Planning A Monday Shop

Dear Maisy,

I need your help! My mum says I can shop for three things every Monday, and I don't know how to organise it. My brain is so muddled up, I don't know one end of my writing desk from the other, and now I usually get the wrong things, or they stop selling them altogether. Can you help me organise the Monday shop so I can get all the things I want?

Love,

Gerald Giraffe

I think I know the simple answer to this question, Gerald. Just use eBay and Amazon for your first two purchases, and then choose another shop for your other purchases, be it Forbidden Planet, Tesco, Hobbycraft, The Works, Typo or anything else you can think of. You are a shopaholic, and that's okay - you can binge buy, but binge buy once a week.

Once you've chosen your three things, head onto Google Keep and write a list so you can remember them, then pin them up so you can remember what's coming next. You can add a picture if you want - I always spruce my notes up with pictures. It'll help you remember what you want to buy - if you're getting a Doctor Who spin off book from Forbidden Planet for instance, you can add a picture of K9. If you're getting something from the Gerry Anderson website, add a Thunderbirds related picture.

I hope this answers your question, Gerald. Happy buying!

Love,

Maisy
