Excessive Retail Therapy

Went to the library yesterday as usual and sat on the 12th floor for a few minutes staring at my partial differential equations, gave up with a sigh, and jaunted (is there such a word? I doubt) down to the city centre where I bought

1. Pale green round-toed pumps with green trimmings and a little bow from New Look(reduced from £25 to £10)
2. A flared blue-y denim miniskirt which ends around the thighs from Miss Selfridge (reduced from £25 to £15) which allowed me to get
3. A brown top with yellow-y cap sleeves and butterflies around the front free (reduced from £22) also from Miss Selfridge
4. A black flared skirt which ends around my knees with pleats around the front from H&M (£19.99)
5. A box of seedless green grapes (£1.06),
6. A huge bottle of conditioner (£3.86),
7. A small bottle of hair treatment (£1.60),
8. A spray of marooon flowers, no idea what kind (£0.99) all from Morrison's.

Came back just in time for dinner. I know I spent a lot, but that's retail therapy for you, and I do not apologise. No sirree.

Dinnertime was quite embarrassing. As usual, greasy mmmdelicious chips featured on the menu and I said, "By the end of the year, I'm going to look pregnant!" Instantly all eyes were on me and they all said, "You're pregnant?" Instead of letting it drop, they all quizzed me, "Who's the father?" and Juan who was sitting beside me said, "Are you going to call him Juan?" which made everyone go "Ohhhhhhhhhh..." and turn mock accusing stares on him. In the end he carried the conversation bravely, spinning a little story about his baby and causing everyone to go into fits of laughter.

Leah called last night and we chatted until midnight, which would actually be one in the morning, really. So I went to bed quite exhausted, but not before I'd adjusted my lights onto the spray of flowers I'd bought (stuck them into a water bottle) and pranced around in my new green pumps. Life is good, and people are amazing, and I am

happy
