oops 11 April 2008
I don’t know how it happened – well, I do, of course, it’s perfectly obvious how it came to pass, and yet so hard to explain. See, I just went into the shop to get a nice birthday gift for a friend who is 40 tomorrow. I thought ‘a scarf or a bag’ and then suddenly I had two bags and three scarves (all with LABELS!!!!) and a necklace and a flowy top thingy (black – WHY? like I don’t have enough black things?) and only one item – a scarf, since you ask – is going to the birthday girl. There was also a tube of moderately expensive lip balm and a pair of inexpensive shoes…which were actually essential and had been on a list of must gets for a while, but still… I had to have a little sit down after town because it had all gone so awry. Lovely things, mind you, and only one item is going back (again, a scarf). And it was all on my credit card so I don’t have to face into the bill for a wee while…and the bags are DIVINE.
But why, oh why.
