I'm back.. my back is killing me..I have to tell you, even if you don't wanna hear it...
... over 4 solid hours of shopping and driving.. and everywhere is MOBBED I tell ya.. because not only is it Saturday, not only is it just before New Year, it's also SALES..
I got a cuppa tea and a scone in M&S and bumped into an old workmate so we had a little chat which was nice..
Returned the silk shirt, and got a refund, but annoyingly they wouldn't take the jacket back because I bought it in their outlet store.. same store.. M&S ...but one is a regular store, the other sells end of range lines.. so the outlet store was another 20 miles from where I was so I didn't bother.. I might get it back some time next week , if I can..
Went to Dunelm ( home furnishing shop, for those who don't know) they have their sale on of course.. mobbed.. shelves stripped.. but I went their specifically for a Doormat for the back door... and altho' they have it online they didn't have it in store.!
I did buy a Tall table lamp,.. Glass mirrored wall hanging... and a white framed picture of a place in Greece...
Then.. I got to the supermarket finally and got all I went for.. surprised because again it was packed out, and it was already getting dark.. but for once it seems that the supermarket had planned for the holidays..
Drove home just as it was almost dark on the motorway and then 8 miles through unlit darkening flooded woodland roads... *knackered* now...
