Hi Peeps
Unquestionable he is the Lord, he created us but himself was not created.
Seeing that I don't plan to repent on blogging faithfully anytime soon, I may compromise and start talking photography here. That will
prolly give me the impetus to come by here more often.
Imagine my 2
nd year blogging anniversary passed without so much as mention. Whereas last year I put up
this longified post celebrate. Time changes things.
Sales and
sweltering sun what a summer combo.
I am not a typical girl when it comes shopping. Don't really like shopping that much, I usually start off with a high but within an hour I am like can I go home already. Another issue for me is I have a one track mind when it comes to shop. For many years I was a card carrying member of NEXT just 'cos I went in one summer sales period and got good bargains and clothes that fit. Ever since then, anytime I am going shopping like a robot it's NEXT. Often times I see other people wear clothes and wonder why I did not see them in the shop i.e. NEXT.
My sister gets lovely tops from H & M, you will think I should do the maths and go in there to ge myself some, till date 30+ has never stepped into H & M by herself to buy anything yet I envy the tops when she wears them.
Then my favourite store became Dorothy Perkins and I had a brief sting with Wallis.
Ok why all these stories.
Currently I have no shop in the UK. Got tired of NEXT after one particular sales period that left me looking like
iyalode of
Balogun market as I practically struggled a pair of shoe with one woman. Took one look around the store saw the
craziness of it all, dropped my picks and headed for the door. No store is what that hassle 70% sales or not and anyway all the good stuff had gone. Dorothy Perkins after going in twice and not finding anything I dropped them like hot potato.
In the past two years or so I have been doing my shopping whenever I travelled. But as I am not travelling this summer and my weight is doing a
yoyo on the scales, I realised I needed interim solution until my body weight made up it's mind or I decide to stop taking a Kit
Kat every break (whichever came first).
Last week, I sat scratching my head on where to shop.
PrimarkFor above reasons, I don't shop there plus back in time, I made the mistake of going there at Christmas time with a friend who came in Nigeria. Unfortunately it was the one located on
Peckham High
Street, we are talking 5 years ago before the
re branding attempt of
Peckham. So my bus stopped in front of
Primark last week and as I saw folks coming out with brown bags and looking rather satisfied, I decided to venture in. I keep forgetting how ridiculously cheap that place can be. I got not one, not two but three tops for under 30 quid.
What's more, the shop here is not
nearly half as crowded as the ones in the Queen's City.
Eureka
Ok their clothes may not be all that of a good quality but who cares, all I want is an interim UK shop until I set off on another voyage.
My shopaholic friend tells me there is an outlet in
Swindon sumfink like that so failing my travelling I may go check the place out.
In the meantime I need to make peace with my body and some information about Child labour being used to sew
Primark's clothes.
Till Later
I miss the early days of blogging, when I constantly checked my blog for comments and spend hours blog hopping. I miss reading Fineboy's post. I miss reading from Doctor Naaps, Bimby's series, Mrs Somebody, Carlang, Undacova, Calabar girl, Anu Boy and a few others.
