Well, I didn’t do a very good job at Twitter Thursday yesterday did I? What can I say, I ended up having things to do most of the day, didn’t get much sleep the night before and was therefore useless - it’s what happens to us old people, we tire easily heh.

As you may have seen me mention, I went shopping - I had been looking forward to going for ages because I seriously need some new clothes, trousers especially, having lost 3 and a half stone over the last year or so I am sure you can imagine…and we are going on holiday in 2 weeks so I wanted some stuff for that…comfy shoes, ‘crocs’, some nice going outty tops, some new gym clothes, some jeans, some combats and any thing else that took my fancy…went out with a big wad of cash and a plan to spend it.

I don’t know what happened, but I came back with an anniversary card for Gavin (5 years together on June 6th), a 30th birthday card for my brother and a fathers day card for my dad, one pair of crop joggers (in brown and pink, £3 in the sale) and 1 pair of bootcut jeans (light blue, £7 in sale). We were shopping for 4 hours and I feel like we only went in about 4 shops, in fact we did only go in about 4 shops…MK One, New Look, Jonathan James and Peacocks…MK One depressed me because the clothes I tried on in my new size didn’t fit - I started freaking out thinking how can that be and I almost went home there and then - then we went in New Look and thankfully their sizes are much more realistic, tried on about 6 pairs of jeans and several combats but none of them were working for me - I think I have lost a disproportionate amount of weight off my bum or something, because they would fit me in the waist but be hanging off my bum/thighs - it makes sense because my main exercise method is the elliptical, but it’s annoying - I am gonna have to look into switching it up. Then we went into Jonathan James (shoe shop) and they had some great black and pink sketchers trainers that would have been ideal for comfy walkingness, and only £10.99, but they only had 1 size 5 and the back of it was all bashed in and uncomfortable I also tried on some of the cheap crocs, but even the size 3s were ginormous on me - I tried on some kids ones instead and they fit much better, so I was going to buy those but realised that they were broken also - good shop, not. Thhheeeeen finally, we headed to Peacocks - this was the main shop I wanted to go in and I knew I’d be able to get some stuff there, so wasn’t happy to realise it was 5.10 (shops shut at 5.30) - had to literally dive in, pick up a load of jeans from the racks and dive into the changing rooms, rushed through trying them all on and thought the one pair of jeans was OK and decided to go for them…there’s nothing special about em, just bog standard jeans that make my bum look good, but I have not tried them on again or anything yet…bet I find something I don’t like about them…the crop joggers were something I just saw on the sale rack as walking to the checkout, but those were a great spot…I might even wear them for normal, not just gyming! I feel like if I had had more time in Peacocks I could have got plenty of stuff.

So, basically…after that long and I am sure uninteresting post….shopping trip was a bit of a disaster and I still don’t have any thing to wear. Gah.
