After a reasonably stress free day at work (at least in comparison to the rest of the week) I brought my bucket of green waste home, and planned to veg out. My sister had a job interview this morning so I gave her a quick call to see how it'd gone, then hubby said: oh, i thought we could go out for dinner? As IF I'm gonna say, no, let's stay in and cook!
So, I changed outta my office wear double quick and we went into town. I've been off the wine for a few weeks (since the night I over did it [still to be blogged about]) so at the pub I had a choice between a coke and a bottle of Magners. Hmmm, Friday night - alcohol or soft drink.
How long would it take you to decide? So, hubby has his pint of Guinness and I've my bottle of cider, I think I finished it in about 20 minutes and found myself trying very hard to focus as we walked the 100 yards down the road to Pizza Express.
Once in, I looked at the menu through squiffy eyes, swaying precariously and ordered a big glass of wine and a glass of the finest tap water too. I also ordered... mushrooms in bechamel sauce with doughbread and a chicken pesto pasta dish.
Yum! Absolutely delish AND i got to listen to hubby talking me through the credit crunch, various political debacles and the workings of his office. See, I don't need newsapers with hubby about!
And, following all that I had a CHOCOLATE GLORY - ice cream, choc sauce and choc brownie all in a sundae glass. YUM.
We came home after that and I've spent an enjoyable 2 hours on the net, catching up with some of you's posts. Still got a lot of reading to do!
It's been fun. Tomorrow I shop in Brighton (country mouse goes to town) with a new credit card (Mwah hah hah ha haaaaa!) and the things I have to have include:
ankle boots, a fitted suit jacket with matching skirt and trousers (for work so allowable) some smaller blouses, a funky waistcoat, a funky cardigan (again both for work), some skinnier jeans, a couple of fitted but chunky jumpers, a new bra, or two... some nice work shoes, some funky tights (to wear with new skirt and boots for work) some non smart black trousers, some other smart casual non work trousers - some nice new tops, a new t-shirt for at the gym, some smaller vest tops for under my smaller work blouses. Not much really! 
Im sure there's a few other bits and bobs, but suit and shoes aside it'll probably all be from Primark. £100 on suit is reasonable as I'll get a couple years wear out of it. So, if I spend £150 (on stuff I shan't return) I'll be happy.
Does anyone know where I can get a nice matching suit?
ps - did somebody say Credit crunch? #jams fingers in ears# i can't hear you!
