OK, while it is fresh in my mind.
I got some Diana Ferrari sling backs with satiny ruffle at the front. Went to Evans Shoes, because they are not a cheap shoe shop, though I wasn't unhappy with the price. I wanted to get advice. The sales lady was very nice, kept touching me on the shoulder.
Have no idea the sequence of events but will try to remember.
The periodonist was near a shopping centre called Biralee. So the girls went there (the two older ones 16 and 13). Oops, for 15 minutes beforehand we dashed into Coles. They have jackets on sale. I have been wearing the same jacket for years, only using it since we left our hometown each winter as it is colder here. DH says it is junk, and that is good, means I need a new one. I was determined to get it.
Before that since the appointment was about 25 minutes later than the other appointments we had been going to at the dressmakers we stopped in a town an hour from home because it has a great op-shop and I needed an outift for dd8 for a musical at the high school. The grade threes are orphans in the show. After awhile with the girls excitedly going everywhere (we usually visit there with their Nana, it is a nice place, the people very nice) I found everything. For ages I couldn't find a skirt or shorts but looked down lower on the children's rack and found a long brown skirt. Everything fits really well and have a leather cap exactly the right shape. Dd13 found that for me, she has a good eye.
I found a tap set that I have been needing for the kitchen for years but couldn't justify the expense. DH liked it, it was exactly the colour and everything I wanted.
Also found two kangaroos dress ups large. Anyway, enough about the op-shop, we took a garbage bag out, and didn't buy all that we saw. $18 so far.
Checked out jewellery at Target. Went to periodonist. Picked up girls and bought lunch at same time.
Ate it rang dh.
Went across the border to NSW where the good expensive shops are. Got my shoes, and jello like things to put on the heels. Got heel things that dd needed for her shoes because she is an in between size for the deb, I had forgotten about them.
In between all this, dd13 wants an icecream, runs off to go to the toilet in a mall, blah blah, but much better than she used to be, no one got held up and she enjoyed it.
She found her boots in Target, they make her legs look gorgeous, tall. They have a shiny bit on the toe. Also got her school volleys. Used up Target giftcard that had some money on it.
She must have been there while we were at Dick Smiths. Having a mother's day sale on Digital Photo Frames which is what dd wanted for her deb present for her partner. Got an ipod dock one. Very nice staff again.
Jewellery left me cold, but I did end (read money started to hit me, plus a very hot store, equip, went and took off one layer of clothes in the toilets in Myer) end up with the bracelet I originally wanted.
Had to get redirected in Myer to where the stockings for tall and large ladies was, very happy with those. Nice lady. This is after the lipstick buying in Myer. Ended up with gloss to go over lipstick (who knew!!), plus dd sort of secretly wanted the gift that goes with buying over $50? worth of makeup. Anyway, I have decided it would make a nice mother's day present for me. LOL LOL LOL.
The gift is a clutch bag, or could be one with nail polish, foundation, lipstick etc. in it. Who knows if the colours suit or not, but I didn't get to buy any for myself. It may look OK not sure yet.
Couldn't get any jewellery for dd8, who really wanted some. DD16 told her she would look in her jewellery stash. I thought (what jewellery stash??). Anyway, she found a crystal star, a pink, crystal and similar thing to something in my bracelet in this stash. I think she went to beading classes once. They look very nice.
My bracelet is roses very nice those on dd's dress, sort of black/silver with balls.
Went grocery shopping. Drank Coke, that's about it, but lots of running around. And it didn't really rain. Dd's boyfriend's Mum is picking dd up!!
This is after she dresses four boys. We made sure she knows dd16 is not that good at things like getting in a car with a white dress. I hope everything goes OK.
