Monday Afternoon Randomness

So it's the start of another working week. I'm back home this week as Simon comes home on Saturday and Heathrow is closer to here than to my house.

Anyway, I've got a lot to say today methinks but I'm not really sure.

On Saturday me and Akash went to some finance lecture thingy and then we went off to find AD, the amazing thing is, we, well I saw a girl with a bag from that shop and I TOLD Aykash to follow her but would he? No.

We bumbled around went to two Lush stores (one gave me a sweet, one didnae..gits), off to Muji where I was amazed by the wooden dinosaurs, they should have had a wooden snake, I could just hear the double entendres sliding around in my head for that one. Try as we did we couldn't find AD, shall have to Google it up.

Got some magazine from the finance fayre (is that the right spelling?) which had the dude who started Wikipedia in it, I salue that man, Wiki is the first port of call for ANYONE.

Three-ish weeks left til Xmas and the shoppers are out in force, I'm doing all my shopping online, there are only 4 people who are getting gifts which I have had to go out and get and they know who they are..those lucky cunts are worth my time and pedometre mileage AND they are getting more than one present too.

I'm listening to The Masterplan by Oasis and do you think we are all part of a master plan? Do we all play the role we have in life because it leads us to greatness or others to greatness? I don't really agree with that, you make your own way..you can come from the crappest circumstances and become everything you wanted, I think that having a bad/poor background helps as you strive to never have that kind of life yourself whereas if you're born into luxury you get used to it and you haven't suffered the worst.

Anyway, Saturday was a great day, went shopping in the morn and to that finance lecture and then came home, ate, then went out dancing the night away.

What also makes me laugh is when people only read books that have won prizes because it makes them look like they have their finger firmly placed on the literary pulse. These are the people who muddle through even when a book is shit. Read what you want to read..also people who only read classics because it makes them look refined and educated..WHY?! I've only read two "classic" texts which I loved..The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (which I am still reading more than a year on) and Therese Racquin (I think that's how you spell it) by Emile Zola. Apart from that I read whatever I might find interesting.

Also, in Roll With It, the Gallaghers say that you should "Say what you say, don't let anybody get in your way"..I think that's the motto of my life along with "God gave you a mouth..use it!"

Shopping

So today I went shopping..yep, off to Brent Cross and to my favourite underwear store in the world..La Senza.

I spent about £100 quid but that is immaterial really as I can justify the cost, I am very happy with what I got for the money I spent though there is one complaint that I have, the knickers are all twisted up, as if they come in bulk and the shop girls didn't untie them..lame.

I love this shop as the materials they use are so sexy, they feel really nice and you can tell they aren't cheap. Also, the most expensive bra I have ever bought from there was £22 quid and it worked better than a Wonderbra did (that cost about 30-ish quid) and I recommend this shop to all my friends. The reason that I have a lot of love for this shop is that they have a DECENT sale on, i.e. they have more sale stuff in the store than fully priced stuff and it is always very well separated and everyone knows it is not hard to separate sale stuff and non sale stuff when women have been rummaging through it all day. The sale actually means a SALE as the stuff I bought was 70% off. EVERY SINGLE BRA WAS PRICED AT £5 which is another reason why I love them, the uniform pricing they have. No matter how much the knickers originally cost, they are all in the same promotion so you can mix and match. Also, the stuff is super sexy but you can also wear it everyday as it is so comfortable, yet another plus.

Debenhams could learn a lot from La Senza. Debenhams put on a sale which boasts 70% off when in actual fact it is 45% off. This is why when La Senza put on a sale (though a 5 for £5 on pants is rare), the shop is rammed. This was the same story today..I spent about two hours in there getting all my bits together. Debenhams is never this busy and now I understand why.

LONG LIVE LA SENZA

I do believe I shall be going back there this Saturday as I have to accompany my personal superwoman.
