Sweetie i'll be having no complaints from anybody...

'PUT THAT CLONED MOUSE DOWN!!!!!'

Ooooooh! Shopping triumph! Shopping triumph! Everybody stop what you are doing and congratulate me.

I went shopping today to get my mums birthday present - we'd hit upon the idea of getting her stuff to turn her bedroom into a warm comfy boudior/sanctuary/hidey hole - she's always saying how she has no privacy and alone time, and until we can move out the best we can do is make her private space as good as possible (also investigating how possible it is for her to use the net and watch films in there) but we decided on getting her a gorgeous bead spred and piles of pillows to recline on while she reads etc.

so i set off, intent on looking in every single shop that might possibly sell bedding and i was finding really nice stuff, but i couldn't decide, or it was out of the price range, until i went past this ex catalogue store that i'd never been in before and decided to chance it - and lo and behold... there it was, all beutiful subtle colours that exactly matched the existing decor, sequing and ribbons and beads all elegantly done, even with matching pillow shams.

for £12.50

just for guidance the nearest equivalent was £49.99 in a sale.

i was the very definition of chuffed and i thinki've earned my entry to the super bargain buyers club.

what was doubly great was that instead of the bed spread and maybe a couple of pillows i could normally have got, i was able to get her sevearal pillows of all different sizes in a range of lovely designs and embroideries and colours to pick out the ones on the spread, and a gorgeous fuzzy slinky mink coloured throw to wrap up in on cold evenings or whatever, this is along side the cushion for her favorite chair made from silk taffeta and (ok, i think i'm loosing the guys) antique saris and the tisannier for yummy teas that i got for mothers day.

oh yeah, go me! go me! goooo me!

so on monday, my sisters going to get her out of the house in the morning, and i'm going to change all the sheets and but all the new stuff on the bed and then tie a huge bow around the bed so when she gets back from the lunch we're taking her to, we can just lead her in and yell 'surprise!

I have to admit though we're also doing it like that because it would takeabout ten puonds worth of wrapping paper just to cover the huge bundles. You should all wish you could have seen me running for the bus with about 6 large bags full of cushion innards flapping behind me yelling 'scuse me! wide load!' at the old biddies in front of me. It was amusing.

But anyway, as you were.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

Ooh, that's lovely. That's a wonderful idea for a present for your mum.

When you get it all set up, you should take pictures so we can see!

i will do, if you're really interested - it really is a gorgeous design in lovely colours - i mean the price was a good one but if you don't love the look of it, whats the point? i'm just amazed i managed to get the best of both world - shopping heaven!

there are more there as well, including one that my sister would love to bits, all purples, which is her favorite colour, and i'd love to go back and get it. I think i might, and just break in to the stuff i was saving for glasgow - who needs to eat? No, hopefully what i have for glasgow will see me through, about £90 - which considering most everything is free at the con and the art gallery i want to see, and its city centre so there'll be places to buy food instead of having to eat out all the time like S3 - i'll be fine.

As long as i can go have a cup of tea in the those tea rooms Mackintosh et all decorated, and get to and from that art gallery i'll be very happy.

so i'm thinking maybe if she can't go get it i should - stash it away with the Bronte novel collection i just bought her for christmas (yes, i know its only march, but i spot these things!)

Yes, I am really interested! I wanna see pics.

I always thought it'd be lovely to have a bedroom set done in sari fabrics.

Do you think the stuff your sister wants will still be there after Glasgow? Cuz, then maybe it could wait to make sure you've got the funds?

I dunno, I'm running on empty myself these days. Spending extra cashy money on yarn to make more hats. Though I found this gorgeous hand dyed cotton yarn the other day that I'm going to use to make something for my aunt for her birthday in May.

Citizen, and other Citizens of the UK,
I just found out about this petition and as a non-UK citizen, I can't sign it. If you feel strongly about it, sign and share with your local friends.

Apparently someone in the government there opposes live music in clubs. Where else will up-coming musical talent get themselves noticed?

Live music in clubs is important. most of the best music in the world started in clubs, most of it in the UK. (yes, just my opinion which is often perceived as wrong)
"Fight the power" , "stand up, fight back".
Freedom of thought and expression is important, even if it opposes mine. Disaggreing, doesn't make it wrong. Freedom! Be real, and honest.

I just picked up my new glasses (my others broke), they're really nice. Then I went too see a flat, it's very nice but very expensive and too close to where my boss lives. Then I came home and had a car accident.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

I suspect for the car accident. Seryn's just like those people in the movie Crash (not the Best Picture one, the one that you "had to be perverted to like") so she'll want to hear all the details.

Just kidding sweetie!

Are you okay? Any damage done?
