This morning we went off into town for a family shopping spree. Mr Messy had seen some Converse trainers he liked, and they were on offer 'Buy One Get One Half Price' and I'd seen some too!! So off we went - not as early as we'd have liked, mostly my fault! I went to bed late, and then Little Prince woke me up about 3 hours later as he'd dropped Blankie! Then 3 hours after that he decided it was wake up time!! Two lots of 3 hours sleep isn't good for me!! So kind Mr Messy let me have a lie in, another 3 hours sleep and I felt good enough to face the day :-) We also had to get Drama Teen a couple of school skirts, which I was dreading!! Fashion vs sensible or teen vs parent - not my favourite way to spend a day!! After trying a couple of shops and being met with either the skirt doesn't fit, or hmmm it will do if there's nothing else and the 'yuk' face!! I was beginning to think this 'skirt quest' was going to be a fruitless nightmare! But luckily Tammy at BHS came up trumps - fashionable enough to please Drama Teen, and sensible (ie not too short!!) enough to suit me!! Result :-)We weren't so lucky with the Converse trainers - well I was but Mr Messy wasn't. They had a lovely grey pair with pale pink flowers on that I loved, but he ones Mr Messy chose weren't available in his size. So Drama Teen had an unexpected windfall, and she got to chose a pair - neon pink, I won't be borrowing those!! She also had a great time in H&M, and we were astonished that she managed to find a dress she had seen while shopping with Fraulein in Berlin - she was thrilled :-) Plus while me and Little Prince were off finding a loo, she managed to charm Mr Messy into another dress and a top - he just can't resist! And they know who to ask when they want to go shopping!!
