Husband announced he'd like to come with me to Bridgwater 😒 so I said if that was the case, it would be better if we went by car rather than on the shoppers bus - there isn't much room on it (it's an older style coach) and we're very squashed together for a start. More importantly though, the whole journey there and back and including the time at the shops takes almost 5 hours. That's ok if it's just one of us and the other stays home with Betty, but I don't like leaving her home alone for longer than 4 hours really, especially now she's getting older. The car journey there and back yesterday meant we were only out for just over 3 hours. I wasn't too keen on the idea of having husband trailing around with me, but as he likes different shops to me, I suggested he go his way and I go mine, and we'd meet up in a cafe when done. However, on the way husband suddenly said he'd left his wallet at home, even though I'd specifically asked him if he'd got his wallet and phone just before we left (he didn't have his phone either, he'd forgotten to pick them both up). I suppose I could have got some cash out of the machine for him, but as it happened he decided to wait in the car for some of the time, as he didn't want to go in the shops I was going to and it transpired he didn't really want or need to buy anything anyway, so I was able to do a bit of browsing and shopping without him. I did get everything I wanted - however, it was sooooo busy in every shop, which I hate. Even worse, loads of people seemed to be just dithering about, wandering aimlessly and getting in my way. When I go shopping I nearly always know exactly what I want and like to just get in, get it and get out asap, especially if the place is crowded. I'm never going shopping in December again! 😂😂
My shoulder seems to be less painful, it's been getting a little bit better every day for the past few days (*whispers in case I jinx it* 😁). I suspect because I've given in and been taking the cocodamol 3x daily. Long may it continue.... although I don't want to be taking the cocodamol indefinitely.
Nice sunny and mild weather forecast for a couple of days, so we ought to get outside and make the most of it.
Like you Sooze I’m like the SAS…in, out and no one knows I’ve been. That’s how I shop! I write a menu for the week, write a shopping list accordingly so I know exactly what is going into the trolley. Job done. That’s why I like home deliveries, sofa, cuppa, and just me, no other shoppers.🤣 Pleased shoulder is progressing. June xx
ReplyDeleteI've never understood how people can wander aimlessly around shops and actually enjoy it. I loathe shopping even for necessities. Glad your shoulder is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteAnother Ninja shopper here! We had to go into M&S the other day, and there were people wandering aimlessly about, getting in the way, with no awareness of what was going on around them. Aaaargh! And people do that for pleasure?😲
ReplyDeleteGlad the shoulder is settling down, even if you need to dose up to get some relief. xx
Glad your shoulder is feeling better. I so wonder how people can just wonder around and not purchase anything at all. I am in and out with a list.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
