The meet
12/08/2007 17:36:04 / happy
OK - as I had a few comments about my other little story, I thought I'd add a little bit about Saturday's meet.
After driving for what seemed like hours, stuck in traffic with everyone else going on hols I finally arrived in Glastonbury. I'd thought I was going to be early, but ended up later than expected....drove through the town, but couldn't see the shop so eventually found somewhere to park and rushed through the shops to try and find where I should be. Suddenly I saw it....and rushed in to see Ella by the counter talking to the shop manager....then I saw Jaynie and Tony all the way from Scotland...... after introductions and chatting we got round to the business of the day....shopping for crocs (forget the fact I wasn't going to buy any!!!) I tried on the fitflops - too big for my little size 3s, also tried some weird flip flops on - dopie's - understand the concept, but they weren't right for my feet.....wandered round the shop some more, chatting with others as they started to find what they wanted...note I've been good so far - no crocs! After several texts and calls, Amanda and Scott arrived - they'd popped into Clarks village on the way (and were wondering why they couldn't find the shop)..more talking and browsing....then someone pushing a push chair says hello to me...it's Jude and the boys...more talking and I'm now finding the fact everyone has crocs in their shopping baskets too much....what could I possibly buy? Try on Cleo - sizing weird - end up with uk 5s!!! but think they're too flimsy - not really for me - back they go....no sassaris to try on either (just to see what they were like cos I don't do heels!) Well I don't have any disney crocs ...what do they have in my size over to the kiddie section....no sea blue so what other colour could I have? Black - try them on - boring - so how about yellow? Yes they've got them... Kay and I were talking about yellow crocs only last week... so in they go.....scutes..tried Heidi's on but they didn't fit, maybe I should try them again - you know how they differ - got the turquoise/fushia - now that's a striking combo and it goes with my outfit (yes I'm sad!!!) - they feel quite nice - not quite so wide as heidi's - cos they're new..not sure about them cos used to a firmer front....but in they go - should give them a chance!! See Jaynie, with a lovely pair of off roaders - black and she's getting fushia turbo straps for them how fab... Remember although my off roaders seem enormous, Kay's seemed better..so go to find the off roaders..they still have a size 4 black pair - seem slightly smaller than my current ones (though still big!) so in they go with yellow turbo straps! Also pick up a couple of jibbitz and a jibbitz strap. Looked at the tungz...but not for me, they don't sit well on the size 3s cos they are for 3-5 so look big on the 3s....am waiting at the counter when I hear that the buy 5 offer is valid in the shop and with our discount - so I could get another 2 pairs and only pay for one!!! how could i resist? Rush back to kiddies section to see what I can buy! Sea foam primas are shouting at me - they look so fab with all the other colours..should I get Mum some black primas - in they go, but then I spy sienna caymans and they're a 3..should I... ok - back go mum's shoes and in go the sienna....better go and pay as it's nearly time for lunch and I wasn't going to buy any.....I don't need any!!
Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for my bank balance I couldn't go back to the shop after the pub as I had a family party to go to! Otherwise goodness knows what would have happened..... roll on my birthday in November.......
ps haven't taken the scute off since I put them on to go to the party Saturday eve (ok Jaqc .... I didn't sleep in them!)
