Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

My recent purchases and under the bed shopping

Welcome to my Reality - Week 5, prompt 7: What did you buy today?

Today's were pretty dull:

A packet of cigarettes - grr
A can of full fat coke - grr
Two ice coffee things you can buy at the supermarket
A tank of diesel

Maybe this would make a more interesting read if I wrote about yesterday's purchases:

I had to take a pair of jeans back to a shop... while I was there I spotted a pair of boots for £7 so I swapped the jeans for them and got some money back. Unfortunately, the boots are for people with much wider calves than me, but they don't need to be tight so look fine... with jeans.

I think went to a cheapo (Primark) shop. It's a shop full off lots of cheap clothes, which are not the best quality but are great for people who keep changing sizes (like me!). I bought a load of size 10 clothes (US 6...?). This is exciting because I've been a 14 for about 2 years so it's cool to go back down. The size 10 jeans were slightly premature - I can do them up but they're just a little too tight and my belly hangs over tooo much! hehe... But now I have a goal . But my new size 10 tops fit well and make me happy!

I've been looking for a red handbag, that I actually like, for ages... I don't know why but that's me! I found one yesterday... 30% off, very soft leather with a owl leather tag so I have Christheowl with me all the time now.

When I got home I decided to look under the bed in a box of jeans that I put away because they just didn't fit. I tried on loads, some were still too small but I fit into about 6 pairs. Including my old favourite Superdry jeans that are suitably baggy again!

Very happy Fran
