late for work.

yesterday i was late for work. not because i woke up late, or took a wrong turn - i just saw the words "SALE" in dorothy perkins (in victoria station, in case you were wondering) and wandered in, like a moth to the flame. i don't think i have ever shopped in there before. i've popped in and out, but never saw anything i remotely liked or would even buy for someone else. but VOILA - this dress cost me a whopping £10. it hasn't beaten my favourite bargain which was a £50 leopard print zara dress reduced to £8 (perhaps due to missing belt and the fact that it would probably be deemed as hideous by many) but it does comes close. it's so dreamy, and i will probably live in it for the next month - in fact, i wore it today!

impromptu baby shower.

i've realised that being useless gets you absolutely nowhere. that's right - an epiphany! when you're useless, you ask for help, and when you ask for help, you then owe that lovely person and it doesn't always work out in your favour. you see, i love doing things for people, except this. 'this', is being a last-minute plus one to a baby shower. considering the fact that i thoroughly dislike babies and am not crazy about the slow-but-noticeable americanisation of british culture, baby showers are not for me. i'm really not the hallmark target audience here. but yeah, i owed that person, and after having my present idea of condoms turned down, i have decided that the best thing for me to do is to sit quietly in a corner and eat. i remain inoffensive that way.
