Shopping

As if I didn't spend enough money over Christmas I had to drive Megan and her friend to Clerk's Village on Saturday. Just to cap it off we had to leave at 8am to be there for opening time. And then Megan made me cough up £4 for a six hour ticket when I reckoned we would only need a four hour ticket, costing £1.50. For those of you not mathematically inclined, that means 8 hours is cheaper than 6.

Anyway, a-shopping we did go. There were just four shops I was inclined to go in and in all four I made purchases. Marks & Spencer had cheap chino trousers and I bought two pairs. Then off to Clerks (with side trips to a dozen other stores, being dragged around by Megan) where I bought three great pairs of shoes for £75. I also bought a pair of weather-proof trousers for golf and a shrt for my Dad. The next stop was a minor stop in Wittards for two pasta bowls, but before that I had to endure the Next sale. Pasta bowls secured, the girls mooched off to various lingerie shops ro I went to my last stop, Van Heusen, where I picked up three half price shirts. That was my shopping completed. By the time we got back to the car, after paying homage to the Burger King, we had been precisely four hours.

The rest of the weekend passed eventfully. Saturday night we went to the best curry house in Exeter, Tandoori Nights, before heading to Exeter's new Vue cinema to see Night At The Museum.

Sunday we went to my mates for their son's first birthday and then Jimson and me welcomed in the new year with a couple bottles of wine and the TV.

New Years day saw Megan working wh ile i played golf. Twas a lovely day when we started but within no time we got drenched. So i went home and did the ironing instead.
