How’s your week gone, if it’s anything like mine … fast!
I popped into town on Tuesday to take a pair of trousers back and wore a lovely outfit befitting the weather on that morning ... of so I thought! I picked some white jeans a tan thin jumper, my tan jacket and my favourite little dolly shoes that have holes all over them - they are cutout style & I topped this all off with my tan bag and gold jewellery. I'd planned to take a photo when I got home and even got a lovely compliment from a shop assistant as to how nice the outfit looked and that I'd given her ideas. I told her about the jacket, that she particularly liked, about how I'd spotted it in Matalan maybe a year or so ago and showed my daughters - they both didn't like it so stupidly (or maybe not) I didn't buy it! Fast forward a few weeks and upon browsing the sale rail in there found my size for only £10! Well you can imagine I grabbed it and headed for the tills! It's one of those jackets that goes with just about everything as it's a classic style and neutral colour and knock me down as my daughter now borrows and loves it! Mums do know best don't they!
I returned the trousers and exchanged them for a thick tee shirt, they were the same price which I was quite surprised about! Any way back to the story. The rain was getting heavier and heavier with most of the shoppers huddling in doorways trying to evade the rain! I was on a tight timescale so couldn't wait and made my way back to the car, trying to avoid the puddles and broken guttering that had huge showers of water just gushing down from them! I got completely soaked even using my umbrellas which I soon worked out had a hole in the middle so the top of my hair was very wet! I made it back to the car and with wet feet which I took out of my shoes drove home to warm up and dry off. Guess what? As I drove home the rain was non-existent in parts and by the time I reached my house it was totally dry! No rain at all!! Fuming to say the least and made me think either home shopping next time - which I'm coming round to or a trip to Bluewater which is undercover!
