As a very closeted dresser i normally buy all my female clothing on line as I am too nervous to buy from stores. But going into a local discount store in town that sells most things including male and female clothes I noticed a couple of nice skirts on a rail. They were in my size and were reduced a lot in price so too good a bargain to miss. I summoned up as much courage as possible and grabbed them from the rail and put them in the basket covering them with other things I had bought. I got to the checkout and went to one of the newer checkout women as I know a lot of the others in there. She checked everything through without a second glance and I paid and walked away thinking that went easier than I thought. As I got near the exit the door alarm went off and I stopped and looked around and in a very loud voice in a crowded place shouted to me 'sorry I forgot to take the security tags off the 2 skirts you just bought can you come back please'. So much for keeping things quiet! I did realise though that a few months ago I would have been horrified by this but I just walked back over and thought oh well, so what! so I must be improving. I still think I will stick to online shopping though in future. Carrie Anne
