Joy's been wanting to go shopping at DFO for a while now so we planned our trip out to Cheltenham today...little did I know it would be so far...a whole 1 hour and 15 mins far!!
I drove...and drove...and drove...and by the time Joy reached there (half an hour late)...I still had another 3 pages to drive!!
But thats not the worst...the worst thing is that after driving the whole way there...I bought 1 birthday card, a strawberries & cream ice-chocolate from Gloria Jeans and an oreo cookies ice-cream from some ice-cream shop...and THAT'S IT...nothing more...nothing less...
Kinda walked out of there thinking...NO WAY...that was sooo not worth it...
The only other thing that I saw and thought of buying was this Oroton black leather briefcase. It was a pretty good buy - $800 reduced to $400...but then I saw another one for $300...I couldn't believe it...2 of the exact same bag with one being $100 cheaper than the other!! Quickly called Joy over and asked for a second opinion on the bag...was so excited...until she pointed out that they were actually different...in the 2 seconds it took for her to show me that, it was all over red rover!! The extra $100 made all the difference and I just couldn't buy it...sigh...
The only thing that keeps me going...I've got another $400 to spend in America!! Yeah baby yeah...!!
Joy - you did pretty well though...hmm...good buy on those presents!! Guess we didn't need to hide the tops at Portmans afterall huh?! And no...I really don't think you should buy a bottle of water on card!! Plus - I WON THE BET!! haha
Alex - we missed you...thanks for helping me sort of win the bet!! We know you too well...!! Theres always next time...!!
