i can shop alright!
I had promised myself I’d go shopping this Saturday. In fact I had been trying to go shopping for a couple of weeks but never got round to it until this weekend and boy did I shop. I suppose to some people this is no major achievement but to me it is. I cannot just go out and shop. It takes me forever to make up my mind and buy something I like. I keep leaving the shop and going back some other day (usually by then they have completely changed their stock and I’m back on square one). I rarely practice impulse buying probably because I think too much and know I will regret it very soon. I usually just manage to buy one (if any) item per outing so this time I was very impressed with myself!
5 hours, 10 items and £220 after I left the house, I returned to realise that my feet were hurting and that I had forgotten to get anything resembling foodstuff apart from water (hydration is big these days isn’t it?). I put the bags on the sofa and took a picture but thought that this wouldn’t be enough:
so I then proceeded to take everything out of the bags and placed it neatly on a table forming my very own shop display:
and I did it all for you.

excellent - i feel really appreciated now
so now i know what to look out for, when i wander around town - my only question ( at the moment) is what is that on the chair?
and GET YOUR SHOES OFF THE TABLE :p
I’m knackered, this one hour lost sleep has played chaos with my sleeping - and after 2 tiring days, i’m off to bed :))

how did you lose an hour of sleep? I hope it’s not all because of working too much.
Arabic Scarf - Keffiyeh
i though it might be one of those
clocks going forward last sunday? = loss of 1 hours sleep
i shop like that, but tend to research what i want, where it will be, get into town, pick it up, pay for it and then get out - i hate shopping with the same passion that most people like it
i seem to work in blocks at the moment - 3 days on 4 days off, 3 days on, 4 days off again this week :))
it that one of those tie up thingies for the curtain on the wall?
Commented on March 28th, 2007 at 9:14 pmI too find it difficult to shop, not just because I’m a poverty stricken student either. Sometimes I will spend hours window shopping and then go home with nothing and feel disappointed, othertimes I just waltz in, see something that I think is fantastic and snap it up. That’s usually the case with shoes (but it does happen with more than shoes), I look for something for ages, can’t find anything that I’m happy with and then one day while I’m in town looking for something else I see a pair that I want and WHAM!
Commented on March 29th, 2007 at 12:43 pmAdrian :: I am exactly the opposite with shoes. I never like the shoes I see! Except for last Saturday when I liked too many pairs but had to hold myself back a bit and only get one pair. I may be working full time but technically I am a student like you and my salary is not that good.
there is various spellings of the word - i only know because my dad has one, when he went to Egypt.
that would drive me mad working set patterns - i like having days of duringthe week, when everybody is at work, and its nicer to go into town
