Despite feeling as though Metallica had set up a studio in my head, a carpenter in my throat and someone having run away with my voice in the night, i did manage to make it to town this morning.
Now, at this time of year, I happily can avoid going into town, but for some reason, hubby seems to think that he hasn't bought enough Christmas presents and anyway the housekeeping money will not transfer itself over, so we were in the town centre by 8.30 and despite there only being about two shops open, it was packed.
Heaving with sweaty bodies.
Heaving with children who clearly didn't want to be there ( then again neither did their parents!)
So we made our way to Wilkinsons to stock up on a couple of items, where the parents of one particular child let them pull the basket that is on wheels (whoever thought that was a good idea clearly needs their head examined) and get in the way of everyone in the shop when she wasn't bashing the basket on wheels into you.
coming out of there, relatively unscathed, to go to the bank, then to Greenfields for Breakfast (Debenham man hasn't been around for a while so really isn't worth eating there anymore as there is no longer nothing nice to look at) before splitting up and making a few last minute purchases.
Then you see either people you work with or people you used to work with, so of course you stop and pass the time of day with them in between shopping.
I did manage to buy a necklace to go with my dress, not found shoes, but as hubby says I have so many I should have a pair that will go somewhere! My hair got done yesterday, copper highlights with some blonde mixed in, new makeup purchased (hubby nearly went a pale colour when he saw the price of lipsticks!) and now all I have to do is find my evening bag, decide on when to get ready and hopefully after yet another lemsip, I will be able to party the night away.
Right better get off and wrap a few items up, sleep a little while hubby has his two hour bath.
Youngest son is on the playstation, eldest has gone bowling.
Typically none have thought of making me a cup of tea yet lol!
