Only me.. I swear, this stuff only happens to me.
It was a relatively bright morning when I left for uni at 10am.. I was looking forward to this new class starting today. It went well, my lecturer actually said I had 'great insight' and I felt all happy with myself.
Then, my first calamity of the day struck - I got on the wrong train home. You'd think I'd know this by now.. But nooooo, silly Bambi. What should have been a 6 minute journey turned into a 2 hour jaunt trying to figure out where I was before giving up and getting a cab to take me back into the city.
Finally as I arrive at my destination and am about to exit the taxi, I realise its turned into some kind of freak storm outside. Alas, can't worry about that, Ive got things to do.. so off I trot. First to Boots, I pick up shampoo, conditioner and face wipes… then to this cupcake place to pick up a gift for my flatmate.. then on to Harvey Nics to buy a shirt I had seen a while ago.
A very nice Vivienne Westwood Anglomania shirt Pretty, no?
So.. I leave Harvey Nics with my gorgeous new purchase, only to see that the storm has worsened. I really need a taxi. Of course, just my luck, there aren't any. Okay, I only live about 5 minutes away really.. so I start to walk home. This 5 minute journey is taking a lot longer than I thought. My coat is drenched, Im cold and I'm sure my heel feels unstable.
Still, I soldier on.. Nearly home! Sure, Im soaked, my hair is a mess, umberella broken and I think one of my heels is close to breaking… But I feel oddly proud of myself for making it back alive. It really is awful outside. Just one more set of traffic lights..
Then -and I'm not even kidding- the bottom of my Harvey Nics bag completely rips open, out flies my top wrapped up in its nice paper packaging and flies straight behind me on to the mucky puddle filled road!
I'm still holding on to the bag, by the way.
I give it a quick glance, as though somehow it will come flying back to me. No. It doesn't. Instead I see car after car drive over the crisp white cotton. Trampled. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I crossed the road and walked the rest of the way home with a little sad, slightly angry face.
Literally, it was like something you'd see in a slapstick comedy.
Funnily enough, the cheap plastic boots bag with my toiletries made it home..
*sads*
Un-fucking-believable.

I'm about 30 miles away from ya listening to the same un-fucking-believable storm outside!! As I'm not there with you....just pretend I am and that you've just had a nice hot shower....handed a hot cuppa and a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk and I got the hairbrush and baubles and ribbons at the ready.....waiting to plait your hair as we watch Pretty Woman, Ghost and Dirty Dancing in that order lol

I think if you explain the situation in detail, you will find Harvey Nichols will replace the damaged item, particularly so if you have bought it on a credit card and then show the soiled garment with damaged store bag. For further mishaps, get one of those rubberised laundry sacks that fold flat, or alternatively a good quality plastic carrier secured by a rubber band, and put it in the bottom of your handbag for those rainy days.

The only problem with that is that it went onto a busy road in the middle of a storm.. then flew away.. it was comedy.. but I wasn't for running after it. Lol
