Brand new shoes for my holiday.

Brand new shoes for my holiday.

I have caved and given in to rampant consumerism and purchased another new pair of shoes, however I can’t feel too bad as they were only £7 from the children’s section at ASDA (sometimes I love having small feet!) and so I reasoned that for seven quid I couldn’t have even bought a nice bit of steak for that, or a decent bottle of wine, well not in our house anyway, N is a bit of a wine snob as he lived in France for about 6 years and so is used to buying bottles fantastic wine for about £1 direct from the vineyards. You basically turn up with your own bottle and fill it up from ‘wine pumps’ for next to nothing!

This weekend N and I will be cooking up a storm in the kitchen making yummy carrot cake and also maybe some honeycomb courtesy of (the V sexy) Mr. Gordon Ramsey.

It’s going to, hopefully, be a nice quiet, relaxing weekend. We did the shopping last week so we won’t need to go out to the supermarket, which at the weekend is my idea of HELL on earth.

I’m hoping that this weekend will give me some time to start writing the entry I hinted at doing about my relationship with my dad, it was pretty complicated and will probably be quite tough to write, raking up some unpleasant memories, but as I mentioned I’m hoping it will be quite a cathartic experience for me so I’m going to see how I go and take it from there.
