Notes to self / Timely reminders / Lessons learnt from this weekend

MH wouldn’t so much as blink if I dropped a £1000 on a handbag, but if I want to spend £500 on a pair of boots or £300 on a pair of shit-hot stiletto heels, she will drag me out of the store – literally - by my ear.

Being dragged out of Jimmy Choo by your ear is very embarrassing.


Under no circumstances should you EVER go clothes shopping when you have your period. Not only will you feel fat and ugly in anything and everything, resulting in very high levels of ‘pissed off-ness’, snotty changing room assistants will annoy you so much that you’ll feel the need to make a complaint to the manager about their attitude.



Note to self – if going to Selfridges for afternoon tea, do not eat lunch before hand or you will be sick from eating too much.


Note to self – HSBC are f**king hopeless and if I get one more random check done on my card I am going to scream. I’d change banks but I think they are all as bad as each other.


Disney stores rock. Except for the kids. Annoying little fuckers. i love kids but WHY do some parents seem to think that its ok to send their kids on a search & destroy mission in the Disney store?? That kind of behaviour isn't acceptable in public under any circumstances.


Perfume counters over here don’t always have coffee beans on hand – take your own because otherwise you will end up dizzy as well and with a headache. Buying perfume for yourself is fun, buying perfume with someone else is a pain in the ass when they have no clue what they like.


Bulgari White perfume fades to scent that is exactly like a mens aftershave… and a very very nice one at that… and I’m fucked if I can pin point which one it is.


I already have a lot of perfume, I probably didn’t need to buy 2 more bottles but it was fun, so that justifies it right ??? Right ???? (NB, I got Kenneth Cole Black (mens) and Bulgari White) Would you care to guess how much I struggled to choose which one to wear today?????


I hate the lights they have at the makeup counters – no matter how good they say they are and no matter how well you think you can judge, when you get the foundation home, its never quite right. Normally the Chanel one I bought would be right but because I am just SO white at the moment its too dark. So I went & got a custom blended one at Prescriptives… I LOVE it !!!


Now, question for you all – I love Serfontaine jeans and at Selfridges, they have the Bodymetrics system (if I knew how to make that a link I would, but I am technologically retarded so you’ll just have to google it). Anyway, I think that £275 is quite reasonable for a pair of custom made, never going to find a pair that fit better, perfectly hot jeans and MH disagrees. She disagrees so strongly that she threatened to confiscate my credit cards.

Am I just in one of my delusional ‘must shop / the more expensive it is, the more I must have it’ phases or IS that justifiable?????

EDIT - I nearly forgot - I also got attacked by a carzy bag lady on Sunday morning - you really shouldn't laugh at them when they hit you with their bag as it annoys them. For future ref, avoid contact and walk on quickly, laugh at them and they will follow you shouting abuse. Oops.
