Have you ever been shopping and accidently bought stuff you had no real intention of wanting or even needing?

Yesterday I went shopping for a new bra. I intended to buy a white bra. They didn’t have the style I wanted in my size anywhere in white, or flesh coloured. I tried many more different styles but they just weren’t for me.

On my way to the dressing room, my eye caught the attention of a classic style frock which launched itself into my arms, I figured I was going to the dressing room anyway so I thought, “why not, it’s not like I’m wasting a journey..” by the by (or should that be by the buy) I ended up buying the dress.

In the same shopping spree I also bought:

a blue bra
then
a DS Lite game (involving a trade-in)
then
a lipstick/eyeshadow compact
then
a bottle of shampoo
a set of falsh eye lashes (in blue)
a neon blue eyeliner pencil
a set of falsh nails (short, in french manicure)
then
some mineral powder foundation
some canny expensive facecream
some dead sea mud mask
then
some nail varnishes (blue and silver)

in an unrelated shopping trip this month I also bought:

some canny cheap facecream
a clear birdcage umbrella (with white trim)
a heart shaped glass button
4 round clear buttons
a bunch of haderdashery roses (in mint green
a pair of black crochet ladies gloves
a black bra

It’s a good job I’ve got a credit card…

I’m teetering on a knife edge of handbag shopping.

I bought a dress with a band of blue in it, and to maximise the benefits of my dress I will need a matching handbag. The dress is a block jersey, white V top, blue rouched midsection with black skirt. of course I have and “adequate” black clutch, but I’ve seen the same clutch in blue and is almost a perfect match to dress. I don’t own any blue accoutrements….. I may need some shoes. And trinkets.

This means I may fail my July Intentions. Oh well some you win, some you lose!

I was actually at home for my Tesco delivery. The driver did not have to call me or return later (only to find me still not in). I didn;t have to call Tesco to re-arrange. I did not miss 8 calls on my mobile or 2 voicemails at home or have to be summoned from the pub. I did not have to call my sister to keep an eye out for the van entering the street so she could go and sort out on my behalf. (although the driver reminded me that this happenend last time)
They even delivered everything I ordered.

Therefore, I am happy to report that my Intentions for June 2009 are a resounding success.

I forgot to order bread and eggs. But no-one’s perfect.

In June 2009, I intend:

1) Get home in time for my Tesco delivery and not stray to the pub instead.

In July 2009, I intend:

1) to take Spangle the Wundacat to the vets for her booster jabs.
2) Attend UCISA Support & Advisory symposium in Birmingham.
3) Attend David & Mags’s Wedding.
4) Attend leaving do for John “I am t’law” Law.
5) Attend Ladies day at Newcastle Races
6) Remove floating shelf from above computer & put it up again using correct wall fixings before it lands on my monitor.
7) Not buy any shoes or handbags.
8) Meet up with Karen in York
