An outfit made up of old favourites; New Look jumper dressed purchased a couple of years ago and mostly ignored due to it’s more fitted shape, Tesco value tights (because I’m classy and they work!) and those Sarenza boots that I really and truly will be glad to see the back of.

Those who said I was mad to face town on crutches were right, it was heaving and the concentration of getting through the shops in one piece (so many rude people about) meant my desire to browse was diminished; even in Primark I couldn’t find any enthusiasm. It wasn’t a total washout of a trip though, what I did buy were gems, if a little random- gold cat ears from topshop, a penguin knitted hat, the most beautiful Bertie velvet boots in Tk Maxx which I had wanted the second they were released last year…patience pays off as I snapped them up for a mere £22, I can’t even wear them at the moment but I had to have them, the woman who served me declared me mad; both for coming in to town AND for buying something I clearly couldn’t wear but no-one gets between me and my shoes.

It was the perfect ending to what has been an unexpectedly brilliant week off, you never expect it to be rubbish but this week has been punctuated with unexpected happenings and the very best of news- congratulations little cousin Soph and lovely Chris on your baby news
Going to make the most of it being the weekend and go back to work full of energy (or something like that). Tonight I’m going to see Peter Pan at the Bristol Old Vic with a bunch of school friends and tomorrow I will most likely nap, or maybe wrap some presents or something… once I’m back at work I’ll have no time for anything, festive madness has well and truly hit and it looks like I’ll be facing it on sticks, still…fingers crossed I hear something/the pain vanishes/my ability to walk without wanting to pass out from pain returns soon?!

What’s on your agenda for the weekend? Are you Christmas ready?
