i have just been shopping. no particular reason, just because i wanted to. i did not need anything, so i just bought random stuff, just because i can. of course, i spent too much money, but then, who cares, i am working my bloody arse off for it, so there you go.
rummaging through the stores i noticed a few things...
shoes for example. i am a size 8 (41). that is a little bit bigger than average, but not basketball player size. i chose 7 different pairs of shoes. one, i repeat, one, was available in my size. all of the other ones were only available up to size 5 or 6. now because the national average size is about a 5 or 6, they obviously order more of those sizes and less of the freaky sizes (like my number 8). understandable.
clothes. in any shop it seems impossible one week after the new collection is out to find anything in size 16 (42). the national average is probably about a size 12 (38). again, they probably order more of those sizes, because there are more people who could potentially buy them. but why is it then that i can never find clothes and all that is left in the sales in the end is bloody size 5 shoes, or anything below size 12 clothes. h&m has the speciality of hanging miles and miles of xs-sized clothes in the sales. for years. surely they must realise this at some point ad start ordering more stuff of 'other' sizes so that everyone has the chance of finding some fitting clothes. the whole thing is a mystery to me.
so, instead of buying sensible clothes that fit, i bought jewellery, going out dresses (which i am probably never going to wear, cos i don't go out) and handbags. you can never go wrong with that.
apart from that, i am still working too much, college is fine (and actually quite good fun at the moment), i am moving in two weeks time, my car has to go to a dreaded MOT and i have finally sent off that bloody tax return. also i am very sorry that i am not very good at communicating and keeping in touch at the moment, but it really is a time issue. i will better myself, i promise.
