and the holiday continues ...

where did I end... oh yes Wednesday done & dusted ...

Thursday morning woke up and thought oooh a bit of sunshine ... so decided I'd be adventurous and wear crop jeans ... that lasted all of 15mins... it started raining and once I walked outside it was blerdy chilly so it was back inside and long jeans on LOL...

Gonna start a 'things you forget' list:
1. Fields filled with poppies .... what a beautiful sight... MUST get me a photo of that !!!
2. How cold summer is here in UK and how cold the rain is too!!!
3. Driving is MPH not KPH!!! ooops
4. How late the day starts & ends ... Paul only goes out to work about 8.30ish !!! by then SA side KB been at school over an hour, I've been up 3 hours !!! By 10pm I'm falling asleep and he's still watching TV !!!
5. Hayfever !!! aaaargh
6. £1.00 = R 11.00 ... so keep doing the maths before you go mad as say it's only a quid !!! But if you see a SALE buy from it LOL ... that's international PMSL !!!

So onto Thursday ... once I'd chosen the right clothes got in the car ... drove to the top road and said ... left Chesterfield, right Mansfield ... I'd decided we had to get some 'proper' food in the house so it was right towards Mansfield... called into JTF on the way ... BEEG mistake ... stocked up on the stationery for SA, the medical stuff for SA, and silly stuff only stocked at JTF !!! LOL
So the boys called me at lunch time and it was "where shall we meet for lunch" ... ASDA's just around the corner ... and that was me gone for the rest of the day ... no site of Mansfield town centre LOL

Did you know I can spend 4 hours in ASDA and not even reach the food section ... I do believe I have a problem ... Shoppers Anonymous here I come ... Never used to be like this ... gonna blame the girlfriends in SA ... they all wear funkyliscious clothes and look good ... so now I must compete with them (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!!) ... but even Paul commented on the fact that I clothes shop now .... before I was addicted to 'craft shopping' hehehe ... (haven't even started that yet Oooops ... Paul you did not just see that bit LOL)

So I finally reached the food section ... bought a 'bake @ home pizza' and made my way home ... the boys were out a gym so I unpacked my wares ... did the typical ooh & aaah again ... had to find a home for all the stuff I bought ... think my bags are already overweight ... and it's only day 3 !!! and so we had Pizza for dinner and I crashed into bed exhausted by 10pm ...

Friday ... the boys decided a trip to Meadow-hell was in order ... now I'm not a big fan of that place ... ooops the new me is apparently ... dragged the boys kicking and screaming into clothes shops, boutiques and all ... what has happened to me ??? Even I'm starting to get worried now !!! We arrived at MH at 12ish ... I only allowed them to break for lunch after 3pm ... luckily for them Paul got a call out to go to a job ... so they escaped about 5pm .... and they found me in a shopping frenzy in New Look ... the dirty 4 letter word (SALE) having drawn me in there from when they left me !!!!

Me thinks Paul is now regretting having said"love it will be cheaper in the long run for you & Kelsey to come here cos I can still work while you guys are here" .... ooops me thinks perhaps I am spending more than he is making per day ROFLMAO !!!

We ate dinner at Frankie & Benny's and left MH at 10.30pm last night ... W.T.F and I still had to come home and ooh & aah over my purchases ... crashed knackered into bed after midnight ... how sad is that ???

I have been banned from spending anything today !!! In fact I'm at home ... Paul is out on a job, but I have asked if we can do something today that we never did in the 8years we lived here ... go to a car boot sale LOL ... so we're off to the one up at Twin Oaks when he gets back ... cash only there so ...I don't have much cash hehehe !!!
