Yep - today I went shopping..... dragged poor Maille Man out to have a quick look at a shop (famous last words) & got home some hours later.
I have decided that I am absolutely disgusted with shopping here - everything seems to be disappearing in the only big craft store we have. The wool isle has shrunk to less than half it's size (unlike my hips) for goodnes sake, there are no longer the great specials that there used to be last year & everything has gone up phenominally in price.
If they expect me to pay $9.00 for a 5 pack of sewing machine needles - well they can go take a running leap. I would rather purchase off shore & pay more in postage, than purchase cheap generic brands for shocking prices.
There was one light moment when I said something inappropriate to Maille Man - well it wasn't really inappropriate....I just didn't think how it would sound to others who didn't know that I was talking of a balloon to be used for sizing knitted hats......
"I could blow it & you can hold it while I measure it"
I was told that perhaps I'd care to rephrase that - lol! I said "nope - I'll just say it louder" & I did.
Oh yeah I was in an antsy mood today.
I was going to share a nice piece of NZ Muusic - or a video of our boys doing the Haka.
But instead I'm sharing one of a commercial that always gives me a laugh - & true testament to my warped sense of humour (as if speedo's alone aren't enough to give anyone a laugh)
