Addiction

Still trying to cope with the lack of chocolate and hand on heart there hasn't been a piece of fruit and nut or turkish delight past my lips in what is it 14 and 1/2 days ! I seem, however, to be making up for the lack of the cocoa bean in my life by drinking copious amounts of Frascati followed by frenzied shopping sprees. So far I have netted an aboslutely fab retro leopard skin coat - oh was I not a happy pixie when the weather turned this week and I have never had "the cat" off my back -

Then we had the trawl of Fenwicks which produced two dresses from Karen Millen although Mr P insists that one of the delicious frocks makes me look like the Mexican flag but what does he know - the sound of areeba areeba every time I wear it is a bit off putting though.

The yesterday I discovered a 1920's piano shawl that I just have to have. Gorgeous white little number with a huge fringe and handsewn delicate little flowers, obviously this has been well loved and well cared for - I must make a note not to wear it when going for a curry.

Oh and I weighed myself this morning and I have put on 2 lbs - now how is that possible??????

Am In Need of Some Serious Help

I am now deliberately leaving my purse behind when I go to the Gym at lunchtime (be impressed with the "Gym" bit) - why? - the Sales are still on - well to be precise all the dross and crap that no one wants and most of the stuff from the summer sales that didn't sell - all marked down to 70% - bargains - or are they??

This week has seen me going into TK Maxx for a new "gym" top and coming out with one black top, one purple hoodie and a black jacket with a white flower on it - WHY??

Going into New Look and buying two jumpers (identical except in colour) for £3.00 each because they were £3.00 each - WHY??

Searching in Jigsaw for that elusive bargain just because its the Jigsaw Sale and coming away with a straw bag (which actually was a bargain from £60 to £19) - WHY??

And then .........the finale ......... going into All Saints yesterday on my way back from the Gym (of course no purse) seeing an absolute snip of a "cardigan" reduced from £75 to £21 which I just "needed" (not caring that it was last summers stock) rushing back to get my purse rushing back to buy it and then ..........and then.......... (drum roll) having to justify to a 19 year old drop dead gorgeous sales assistant (the type you get in All Saints) who had to point out that the "bargain" had a hole in it! What did I do? I told him to stop pocking his finger in it as it would make the hole bigger and that I still wanted it!

Crazy or what.

I then decided that I would sew the hole. It didn't work. I then decided that I would put clear nail varnish on it to stop the hole from becoming cavenous. It didn't work.
