I have self-inflicted clubbing injuries. Yeah, I'm not sure either :~\

I've been spending the weekend in the old home town. Yesterday I met up C for lunch before I proceeded to watch him spend a ridiculous amount of money on clothes for his new job and then took the nephew for a bus ride. Today I was supposed to be taking mum out for lunch, but she's just announced that she's going back to bed, so I guess I'll just have to go hang with F again and watch Z try and walk.

I am currently still in my pyjamas. I just thought you needed to know that.

stephanie206 is tempting me with shoes. She is evol and I love hate her! But I have been taking a good look at my wardrobe of late, and with summer coming up I think it's time to get a few new things. My work pants are all two or three years old at least, and recently I had to toss a few shirts because they were so old they were unwearable. Plus, with my new 'managerial' position it means I can't spend half the week slouching around in jeans and a black turtleneck, no matter how much the look works for me.

The only problem is, I really want to get serious about saving up for going overseas when I have long service leave in '09, which means minimal going out, only spending money on necessities and definitely no clothes or shoes unless really I can't avoid it. At the moment I'm thinking, get some new stuff now, and start the serious saving at the beginning of next year. That way I'll potentially be able to carry over for at least the next eighteen months with what I've got, and be able to start squirreling away any extra cash I might have after the basic necessities of life have been taken care of.

Alright, time to put clothes on and go pick lemons to take to work.

OK,this just exposes me for the geeky old homebody that I am, but the phrase "self induced clubbing injuries" brings a much different mental picture to me than you probably meant. Or maybe it just exposes me as some sort of grammar luddite. To club to me involves a cudgel and not a cute pair of shoes. *g*

Anyway, hope you had fun.

You have lemon trees? *green with envy*

whereabouts overseas do you plan to go?

(I have to admire other's adventures from afar, as I am such a homebody)

I am so fat now that only wraparound skirts will do, and I get them all off eBay. But I don't trust eBay for shoes.
