Back from a shopping expedition with the mother and 2 of my girls!!
Jesus Christ!!!
Primark has never seen anything like it. 1st we did down stairs for the youngest, £1 shop had nothing on Primark this afternoon!!! what bargains you can get there.
2ndly we went up the escalator, (which im very wary about ever since one very greedy escalator ripped my long skirt off my body about 4 years ago) *grin* so there i am stood in the middle perched on the edge waiting patiently as we move up when eldest spots a bargain and almost tramples me to death before i get there! so a pair of jeans, 1 blouse, 6 T-shirts, 1 striped sweater and a 'moulded' bra later we go stand in the queue to pay ... there began the race against time. We had 5 mins before the store shut, huge queue at the checkout and added to the above was 1 green belt, 1 set of green beads, 1 set of cream beads, 1 set of red beads, pk 24 multi-coloured hair bobbles, pk of 2 flowered bobbles, and 2 pairs of fancy patterned tights! and Everything cost less than £50! i was gobsmacked! We defo going there again!!
So on the way home, im itching to shove my mother out of the driving seat cos i had got sick of 'dodging' everything that is at the roadside! id forgot what been a passenger felt like and i dont like it much lol Anyway on the way home we call into a really nice place for food.
Food Bill including deserts and drinks cost £50 for 4 which i thought was really good.
Came out of pub/restaurant to find mother puffin on a ciggy like her life depended on it and proceeded to shove her out of the drivers seat so i could 'have a go'!
Well its been a while and it is a new car! i forgot how to turn it on (its a card not a key & you press a button) and where was the hand brake? it resembles something out of an aeroplane!, then we hopped, skipped and jumped out of the car park to many giggles and mother holding on for life and 'braking' at her side! its 8.45 .... Erm, mum! where are the lights? Erm! daughter! they already on! oh ok! hehe ooooooooooo thats clever! Played dodge the biker! idiots!
Pulls up at my house, practically parked it in the boot of my car, mother jumps out and sparks up another ciggy! Mother, you dont need that! her response was, 'What is the speed limit on that road'???? me 'erm 60 i think why?' mother, 'so its not 80 then'? me, Erm! no, why? Ooops! not my fault newer cars with a bigger engine go quicker than mine! *grin*
All in all a lovely day out and a relatively cheap one too!
