I WENT CRAZY TODAY! And bought oodles of things I wouldn't ordinarily lash out on. (Note the missing S.) Five pairs of DARK socks (cotton rich) (why does ANYONE buy white ones? Are their feet ultra-clean or something? Mine never ever wash Daz white ~~ ever again. Even with Daz detergent... which is a bit of an inconvenience, to be sure! £3 for all 5..jpg)
Plus: one pair Union Jack socks ~ similar to those illustrated £1 ...Plus one Mitsubishi Uni Ball Eye rollerball; waterproof/fadeproof; black ink £1.99
I nearly bought new paper as my novel-writing has me running out even though I've only done about 30 sides so far (of the second draft, might I add..!) But the paper in the pound shop (white A4 unlined 
(very important ~ I hate lined paper. Sticking to someone else's rhythm is SO not my style...) But theirs was recycled, which I don't mind, but ridiculously flimsy, so my Mitsubishi fineliner would soak right through. I know it would from bitter past experience and I absolutely detest what we call a "Biro" here, but is called a "ballpoint pen" (oil-based ink) elsewhere. How can anyone buy in top-notch watermarked, embossed headed paper for business and then sign off using a cheap Bic Crystal... is beyond my understanding... !
Erm... what else did I buy..? I know this is so gripping!..!! O yeah, I remember. A £1 "EDT" spray called Passion "para hombre". It smells lovely. Like incense. And I love incensy 
perfume (for me to wear) ~ in women's perfume the only 2 I know I adore are Giorgio Beverly Hills and Chanel No 5... Anyway I ought to sue whoever bottled this diarrhoea. Eau de toilette my arse! It's all "eau" and no blinkin' parfum! I put on 110 squirts after a shower ~~ no kidding! ~~ and still can barely smell the stuff on me!On that "note" (as parfumiers say) I must dash ~ about to be timed out yet again!!... cheery-bye all!!
O! ~ and I nearly forgot, one 500 ml can of cheap white cyder at 75p and today's Sun newspaper ~ 20p. Which adds up to a grand total of £7.89!~~I'm last of the big spenders, me!
Those union jack socks are quite something. Glad that you enjoyed the shopping.

SYD: o yeah it's got to be Union Jack. Union Jack undies and bras are fantastic ~ even funkier than stars-&-stripes because the central cross marks a focal point, if you know what I mean...
ReplyDeleteAKELAMALU: oh aye! I always get best value, me ~~ never buy anything without checking the other shops' offers first!
MOLSON: no black socks with shorts? Why not???
Gledds,
ReplyDeleteI bought a pair of Union Jack socks when I visited Britain. I loved them.
Love you too,
SB
I bet you paid more than £1 for them in the West End tourist traps!
