Been a while... oops

Hey bloggers.  Sorry it's been a while since I last posted.  I actually didn't realize it had been that long.  I've had a pretty interesting weekend; on Saturday I went shopping in TK Maxx and found a pair of £60 Levi jeans and got them for under £20, so that was pretty cool.  I find it difficult to spend a lot of money on clothes, even though the quality is nearly always better when you buy more expensive brands.  You get what you pay for.  Primark used to be my haunt but I'm starting to get annoyed by the poor quality.  The only things I really buy from there now are underwear, printed t-shirts and plain tops/vests for layering.  I get frustrated by how easy it is to shrink their clothing and also how quickly it looks worn out.  This doesn't bother me so much with the underwear because it's VERY cheap in Primark and, well, it's underwear - whatever 'brand' I buy it is going to fall apart, because you need to wear underwear most of the time, so I might as well buy cheap ones.  But most of the stuff is getting kinda disappointing.  I much prefer Joe Browns clothing because the quality is just excellent.  It's expensive compared to what I used to buy but I'm pretty well-convinced that it's worthwhile.

On Sunday not all that much happened, just had a quiet day as I've been fighting off getting a cold for a few days now.  Still haven't come down with one as such, but something has definitely been trying to attack my system.  I've been reading D.H. Laurence's "Sons and Lovers" and found it quite interesting, if a little... odd.  He is a very emotional writer; every five sentences someone is loathing/despising/hating something, or adoring/passionately/burning with love for something else.  So it's quite turbulent to read, but interesting all the same.

This week is going to be busy; going to see Status Quo tomorrow night, then it's Richard's birthday on Wednesday so we're all going out for a meal together, which should be really nice.  I have been talked into wearing a skirt of all things.  Todd likes to show me off a bit sometimes but I'm not a big fan of skirts and dresses myself.  He got me, though, by putting on his horrible trackie bottoms.  These are usually kept for his playing basketball and he knows I really loathe seeing them outside of that, so we made a deal that if he took them off, I'd wear a skirt for him on Wednesday.  Fool that I am, the weather is freezing!  But I've promised now, so never mind.

I still haven't posted any pictures of my new hair... sorry about that.  I will get some soon.  I don't tend to come out well in photos but I will try to get a good one.  I'll also take one of my new jeans.  Take care all.
