Day 7
Today I bought 3 pair of sheer to waist FunTan average stockings, 2 packets of hair clips, a pack of 3 hairnets and a new can of hair spray. At dancing this afternoon, we collected the hair ribbon thing littleKaf left behind at the theatre last night. [smilie=icon_redface.gif]
After I took my girl to school today, and because I had no preserved peaches to go on my weetbix I went shopping for the peaches. Of course I bought more than I went for, as ever, and I browsed a magazine but I ended up leaving my shopping trolley when I got to the checkout, because I suddenly could not remember turning off the egg I was boiling. At first, I just thought, I really should check, but by the time I got to the carpark, I had pulled off my thongs and started doing the closest thing I can do to a run. I was somewhat reassured not to see a plume of smoke from my patch of suburb, but I was about to turn into my street before the comforting memory of turning the egg over in the water and thinking that it would keep getting harder with the heat OFF came back to me.
So I went back to the shops. I went to 3 extra shops to try and find hair nets, went home, finished breakfast at about 12:00. Then I drove Sequin City for the stockings, hairnets and extra hairclips.
On the way back, I went to another shopping centre to try and buy my sister a Book Seat. It's beanbag for supporting a book without holding it.

They're about 12"x12"x6".
I rang first, because they'd run out of them at my local s/c. They had what I wanted. I reckoned $40 each was a bit much, but I am bereft of ideas and I knew I might not be able to get them if I waited for inspiration in vain, so I picked up two - another for my other sister, and carried them by the top of the plastic bags they were in, to the cash register. I waited to be served, then I remembered I wanted a battery operated candle for my mum. The assistant was lovely and took me to find them, and showed me how they worked, and replaced the batteries in one, so I could see how bright it was, and I took it to a gloomy corner to check, and left thanking her for being so helpful. I trudged back to the other end of the s/c. I was pretty tired by then. I'd been a bit too excited last night I suppose, and hadn't gone to bed when I should.
When I got to my car, I wondered why the people in the shop hadn't put the beanbag things into proper bags. Funny, like saving the planet, but they usually ask first - and what did I do with the docket?
Yep. I had walked out with $80 worth of very bulky Bookseats.
I didn't have the time, or the heart to walk straight back with them. So I now I will have to take them back tomorrow. If I had accidentally left some little thing in my shopping trolley I actually wouldn't bother, but OMG. This would guilt me out. I don't need that. And how lovely to give my sisters gifts I'd nicked!
Anyway, it occurred to me about then that I probably wasn't exactly up to par today, and that maybe I should get a bit more sleep tonight!!
