Good morning Mick, Beechnut and all who will post by the time I finish typing my novella! .
It's 4°C/39°F (For the benefit of Rufus) and very damp.
It's a day in for me today, papa will do the nursery run, yesterday tired me out somewhat!
Yesterday's outing to Glasgow was very enjoyable, despite the manic crowds and long queues. It's only November, for goodness sake.
I did take everyone's advice and instead of my usual visit to just about every shop in the city centre, I only went into Primark, took one look at the queues and retreated. I did however, accompany DH to all the menswear shops. ?
I think I should be elevated to sainthood for all my patience, understanding, permanently fixed smile and determination to get a new jacket for him. .
Just about to give up, I thought of TKMaxx, (my favourite shop, as Old Goat and Jangran will testify from the Edinburgh meet ups.)
Surprisingly DH agreed. Well, I am a fully trained and certificated rummager of bargain shop rails and I spied, what I thought was the perfect jacket for him.
DH reluctantly tried it on, then his face lit up, it was a great fit. However, when I looked at it, I saw it was a Canada Goose, make , my heart sank, as I knew they were the best and extremely expensive. I knew Mr Scrooge would huff and puff, but I looked at the price and it was £80, much less than we expected to pay. (I'm beginning to wonder if it was wrongly priced ?
By the time we left the shop, he had picked up even more items, I couldn't believe it, unlike his spendthrift wife, he is definitely not a shopper.
The hospital boot fiasco was repeated. I spied a pair of sturdy boots, tried one on and it got stuck, half on and half off. I didn't have the strength to pull it, the shop was mobbed and DH had an armful of things.
Then I couldn't get my boot back on again. . What a palavar. Why do I never learn?
When we got home I looked up the website, a similar jacket was over £900!!!! It is a genuine Canada Goose, the best bargain ever and DH is a very happy bunny!
We had a lovely Chinese lunch before going home, where I promptly fell asleep.
The best part of the day was that I survived with only one angina attack. That is a huge boost to my morale.
Glad to read more positive news from Gilly and for those on here with worries and pain, (there are many) I hope today is a better day.
