Wow … I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do here, it’s been a week since my last post (oooooh sounds a bit like confession … that’s the Catholic in me!! … “Forgive me Father for I have sinned … it’s been a week since my last confession!”)
OK, so following on from where we left off … actually, I do think that it’s been quite uneventful … considering it was my birthday. But I always think that until I start writing.
Last Thursday, I took the day off work (I don’t get paid for holidays, but hey, it’s only your birthday once a year!) and decided a little mini shop was in order, so off the Trafford Centre I went. I’m pleased to say that the price of shopping spree wasn’t as hefty as it could have been and consisted of mainly make up - I must tell you that I had my eyebrows coloured in (I’ve very thin eyebrows from over plucking in the 80’s … think Pamela Anderson eyebrows) by a lovely gay man, wearing more makeup than me, at Illamasque … I thought that they looked pretty cool under the lights in Selfridges, OMG when I saw them in the day light, you could have sworn I was a tranny. What was worse was that I couldn’t rub the buggers off!
Oh, I did purchase a rather lovely Alexander McQueen scarf … OK, OK, so that was a little price hefty, but hey …it was nearly my Birthday! All in all, a very successful shop and a lovely day was had.
That evening I went out with my lovely friend (whom I haven’t seen for ages), Jenny. And the second best bit (apart from seeing her when I’ve missed her) is that she remembered that it was my Birthday, and bought me a bottle of Champers! Wayhay! You can never go wrong with a bottle of Champers, I say! We had a lovely catch up, whilst being overviewed by an extremely obnoxious manager come maître de … a truly horrible little man … and the food was cold! So I can’t recommend Quattro’s on the Rainford Bypass … but I can recommend spending time with Jen … Love you Jen.
Friday, I also booked off work (and unfortunately had to have a filling replaced … which wasn’t too bad as I rather fancy my dentist … God I hope he never reads this!). Anyway, straight after that, with a decidedly droopy left side of my face, I hot footed it into Manchester
I had to apologise to the shop assistant (if you can call him that … I’m sure they must have some super-sonic posh name for their assistants … Shop Assistant just doesn’t seem to do it justice), cos if my droopy gob! I couldn’t tell if I was drooling or not ... and if he noticed anything, he was extremely discrete and never mentioned it! Did I mention he was French? Hmmm he was French, so maybe he was used to crazy, 40 something women drooling in his presence!)
Shopping in Vuitton is a bloody dream. That’s what I imagine Heaven to be like! ‘Sigh’. I love it when they take your purchase away to wrap up as it would be far too vile and common to wrap it in front of you! Oooooooh I love it, love it, love it! The bag’s not bad either!
After securing my purchase, I had a little wander round Manchester
I was supposed to be going out with my lovely friend Paul (purely a platonic friendship … I love him, he’s fab and my rock! He’s seen me through some extremely tough times … actually, he’s my best friend and I don’t know what I’d do without him) that evening but I postponed as I was pooped and a bit partied out! I know, I know, I’ve let you down … I made up for it Saturday night though! I’ll tell you about that tomorrow!
Have fun and be fabulous, lovely people.
Love
Jx
