So Helen's on holiday and since starting last Monday hasn't worn any drab clothes. I set myself the challenge of pushing the envelope, doing things I'd not done before.
One thing I wanted to do was use public transport and on Tuesday I set out to travel by train. However all the slow drivers in the area took to the roads and I missed the train by minutes. So on the Thursday I caught the train one just one stop on my way to a group meeting in the evening. It still left an itch to scratch so the following day it was back to the original plan and I caught the train so I had a decent 40 minute journey and a chance to mingle with the muggles. So having arrived I hit the high street shops inc Boots the chemist. I'd always wanted to have my foundation matched so that's what I did. Sat in the chair in full view and let the young lady work her magic. I'm glad I did as I'm really pleased with the outcome. Of course there's literally a price to be paid for foundation, application brush and bronzer. However another box ticked.
Found a cafe for lunch and had a lovely sandwich and then proceeded to work my way around the shops. Bought a necklace as a present for my SO and had a pleasant chat with the 2 SA's after they remarked about my nail colour.
Found a top in one store that I felt would be ideal to wear with my leggings but they only went up to a UK 16 and I normally take an18. So I decided to try it on and took it over to the changing rooms where the SA's showed me to a cubicle. It was just a mite too small, shame but no sale there but another box ticked.
Stopped off in Debenham's for a drink and a cake, spent a few minutes chatting to another of the customers before making the return train journey.
Oh and did I mention Wednesday. Perhaps that's another thread.
