So....what has been going on then since my last post?
Not that much really,Went into the City on Thursday as Mum had a hairdressers appointment and we went to a few places when we got into the city first as we'd got there a bit early and had a look around,including some stores we had where we lived before that we hadn't been to here yet,or in the case of one of them not for a long time and then Mum went for her appointment(agreed I'd be back in 2 hours)and that gave me a good long time for a walkaround....went around the shopping centre there,looked at some clothes shops mainly, saw a peplum top I had seen in a shop where we lived before but in the wrong colour here and yes I wished I bought it then,went to a market I'd not been to for a long time but just had a quick look round and left and it was mostly foodstuffs anyways although the Goth shop is still there but I didn't go in there.
Tv buffs note.....the said market was used both in Being Human series 2 and Skins series 4!I'll see if I can find the footage in a bit and add it at the end...!
Carried on back to the main street and saw that the cheap CD store we had back where we lived before,they did have a branch here of it but it's just closed down...I looked online and it said they didn't,months ago...grrrr!
Checked on the Marnie CD in another store but no luck yet...they did say it would be 2 weeks as I had ordered it and it's not even a week yet but I do hope they can get it since it's not on Amazon,even!
Looked in a few stores and then decided to head to a few charity shops and saw a DVD store on the way and I did pick up the DVD set of 'Hitchiker's Guide To the Galaxy' which I had on video but gave away,foolishly,going cheap so I got that.They had a CD store upstairs but there was nothing there that interesting.Helen uses the one where we lived before to sell/trade things and buy things but I'd never been in it.
The charity shops didn't turn up much,a couple of bracelets and a pearl necklace and that was all.
Made me remember over a year or so ago when Mum had a hairdressing appointment in the city near where we lived then and I did the same thing,a charity shop scour but there's not many charity shops in the city centre here but there's plenty else to occupy me anyways,so much so that by then it was coming up to 2 hours so I had to dash back.
When I got back,it turned out the appointment was an hour and a half so just as well I didn't meet Alex then.
After that we looked around and got a nice table centrepiece leaf glass thing we had seen earlier,then onto another store and had tea after and I saw my cousin Josh whom works in that store although I didn't quite recognise him at first but said 'Alright!' to him anyways in the first place then realised it was him when I saw the name badge!
He's not really my cousin since it's my Aunty Sally's son(my Uncle Jim's ex wife) but as far as I'm concerned,as good as.
We then went around a bit more before heading back to another store we needed to go to that we had been to earlier and I just got a picture frame in there(took the measurements down of the others in there although they didn't have the size I wanted,so if they don't next time a trip to Kingswood to the branch there might be on the cards) and then we headed for the bus.
Josh and his girlfriend walked past I would guess on their way home, as we were sat there but they didn't see us anyways.
My feet were hurting by that point as I shoulda worn my other boots as my feet feel uneven in them at the best of times and the heels are worn down at an angle too!
Did consider earlier going to see Sally, but my feet were hurting too much anyways by then as it's a walk away from our house!
Had a quiet evening and tried to do a bit of tidying up which for once I actually managed!
Friday.
Not much to say about today,didn't do that much, did manage to watch my new DVD in the evening but had to borrow Mum's since it wouldn't play on mine after repeated attempts! Did get the huge plastic folder sorted out finally and emptied,dismantled a few collages and pictures on boards,put my posters away and some large bags including the HK gift bags I can use as shopping bags,put away my scrapbooks and an old one college project and some other photos I took which I had mounted from those times,plus some things I had made,collages,articles I backed up onto card and put up one of my small Rowland S Howard collages too.
Not really talking to Alex still.He really would have stood me up if I'd not mentioned we were meeting on Thursday,I think.
He talked to me for a bit this afternoon on FB chat(well,sent more smiley than chatted) but tonight he was just going to bed as I messaged him.I told him I had only messaged him to send him a smiley and that I didn't really want to talk when he told me he was going to bed.Ah whatever.
Got a load of post from our old address since we are good friends with our buyers,one was something I was waiting for,but we got a load of mail from France and thought we were being charged since we don't own the flat now,but it turned out that it was actually a bill from last year to January(just before it was signed over) that was a very small amount,the other a refund when we read it more closely and the other a final one for the end of the contract!
Also got another letter through which we didn't even think of and the company do know the new address so it's their own fault they sent it to the wrong address!
Tried to ring our buyers tonight but they must have gone away for the weekend as they do sometimes since the wife's brother lives in Manchester.
Anyways,not much else to say now so I'll leave it there.Will put the videos in another blog if I can find them.
'Blessed Be'
