Aaaaa this is so not fair !!! the time is going way too fast ... and my list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter ... in fact it seems to be getting longer !!!
Once I'd started the craft shopping I decided I just had to carry on with it ... so Wednesday saw me popping over to Trimcraft and seeing all the girls there ... picked up the odd bargain or 200 !!! hehehehe ... No actually I was very reserved ... could very easily have slipped back into the old habit of over spending ... but thinking 'mmm' less spending on crafts... more spending on clothes (hehehehe) ... and well really clothes are my thang at the moment (LOL) ... the crafts will be there later :-)
By the time I got home the boys had made a management decision and we were off to the movies to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4 !!! It was great ... now there just HAS to be a 5 !!!
Then when we got home the house was bloody freezing ... well actually I was blerdy freezing in the movies ... wind had picked up and then it rained !!! Grrrr and then there was something going on with the central heating ... typical ... the boys didn't care ... so I just had to have me a tired, cold hissy fit ... but on a positive note ... it meant Paul knew there was something wrong with the central heating !!! (oh and the boys apparently fixed it !!! we'll see)
Thursday morning I attempted to get up early ... well I set my alarm ... got up early ... started going through all the mail that had piled up for me... which also happened to be a few catalogues ...mmmmm more crafting stuff !!! and before I knew it, it was 12noon ... and I still hadn't decided what I was going to be getting up to ... so I took myself off to McArthur Glen ... or Midlands Designer Outlets as it's now known ... the boys joined me there for lunch ... not such a good idea ... those 2 are a nightmare to go shopping with ... and after lunch I sent the boys home to do some housework LOL ...Hey I never realised just how big that place was ... every other time I've been there I've managed to get to Cotton Traders and Claire's Accessories and no further ... this time after 2 hours in Cotton Traders (well I was rugby shirt shopping ... not necesarrily all for me folks !!!) I managed to have a good old rummage around all the shops ... walked away with just the ODD bargain (PMSL, don't think I've done this much 'shopping' in at least a year ROFLMAO)
So I've done a few things on the list ... even started my Christmas shopping !!! yes you read right CHRISTMAS !!! So that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it ... basically I'm getting all the things on my list and doing the next 6 months shopping too ... (good plan ... do you think it's working ??? do you think I can continue to get away with it ???)
Friday I met up with Mrs Mc and after a catch up over a cuppa ... we set off up the M1 to Barnsley ... visited our usual haunts ... popped into the Button Mill for lunch ... yet another Faulty Towers sketch ... it had Sharon & I rolling with laughter ... you know it's bad when you walk into a pub ... with no customers in at lunch time ... you ask if they are doing food and the guy behind the bar says ... yes but let me tell you what we DON'T have on the menu .... it takes him longer to tell you what's NOT on the menu that what is !!! Hysterical ... but not too bad food as long as you don't worry about the 'clean' cutlery LOL ...
Sharon & I had a great afternoon of craft shopping at the CraftBox at Elsecar ... people ... in case you decide to pop over there in the near future ... they have moved ... not too far away ... they are still in Elsecar Heritage Centre ... just not in the corner shop anymore ... they are further along in the centre. A much bigger shop with a load of space for workshops etc... get in touch with Lynn there she'll be only too happy to help you out with anything you're looking for...
I'd decided that we were going to have Fish & Chips for dinner on Friday night and Sharon told me the best place for cod & chips in our area ... 'Fillets' in Mansfield ... opposite ASDA ... well let me tell you peeps ... on Friday night I had the bestest EVER fish & chips with mushy peas .... I felt like I was in gourmet heaven ... even better than any seaside fish & chips !!!
And then onto today ... Kelsey decided it was his turn to go shopping ... Oh well if we have to!!! LOL ... let me tell you ... tonight Paul is wearing a black arm band ... I think today was the MOST expensive day out shopping since we got here ... Kelsey sweet talked his dad into letting him have his Birthday present early ... a computer DJ mixing desk thingy !!! and then he ordered his next 6 months of PS3 games !!! and to top it all off I walked out of the shops with a new 2TB HD ... well I needed an upgrade to store all my photos !!! Oh and I also stocked up on all our DVD's that we've been missing !!! Poor Paul (*evil grin*)
