The Shopping Trip
26 September 2004 // 5:01 p.m.I can now announce to you all that I am the proud owner of my own household goods and appliances, and as such am now a wholesome, responsible adult.
I have saucepans for cooking things in and plates for eating these things off. the vital question is, will I use these newfangled items, or will I instead spend my time at the bar eating free peanuts or the occaisonal packet of salt and vinegar crisps, and drinking pint glasses of barcardi and coke instead of having meals?
I think that you all know the answer.
I have a new duvet and pillow set, the purchase of which was a long, drawn out affair.
MOTHER: You need a double duvet.
HELEN:...It's a single bed!
MOTHER: Yes, but I don't want you getting too cold.
HELEN:!!!
The conversation continued for a while, until I ended up convincing her that really, a single duvet is for the best, as I often get too warm in bed. Also, I want it to look nice and neat for the new sheets that I bought. They're blue and have buttons!
Come to think of it, everything I bought is blue and white. It all looks rather nautical. I can see myself now, swanning around my room singing "In the Navy!" and sporting a sailor suit.
I'm slightly sleep and sugar deprived.
