I just IRONED something!
Now then, anyone who knows me...and even anyone who doesnt but sees me as I am out and about, will know that I just dont DO the 'i' word.
So what brought about this moment of madness? A visit to a garden centre of course! Not any old garden centre, but one of those that sells all sorts of (expensive) goodies. I'd only gone along with my sister who had bought a pair of shoes half price and wanted another pair. But these places have ways of sucking you in - especially with 'offers of the week'...and so was my fate.
Firstly, I had to have a pair of half price shoes too...I mean, how can you pass up such a bargain! Im still not sure if they might be old lady shoes (Im not even convinced that they are not SANDALIZED shoes - OMG CC!)...they are certainly comfy enough - but they will look nice with my crops I thought. Along with the 'half price for this week only' shirt set that I purchased. This included a vest, shirt and a kind of over the shirt kind of shorty cardy - I dont have the shape for that, and I wont see 17 again so that wont see the light of day, but the other two bits seemed like a bargain so I snapped them up before it was too late.
Now the clue should have been in the name of the store - Cotton Traders - which explains why, by the time I got my goodies home, my lovely new shirt looked like it had been through a creasing machine....you know, that machine our kids own, judging by the state of them when they come to visit, or men whose wives are away for a few days!
Well, it has sat languishing in the carrier for a couple of weeks now, and I figured the time had come to face the inevitable and fetch out the instrument of torture and be rid of all the wrinkles. I shall wear it tomorrow, with my sparkly crops and my probably sandalized shoes....
....and then it will go in the wash...
....which means it will want ironing AGAIN...
Good grief, is it worth it....bring on the polyester!
Anyway, after my ordeal I think I need to pop an extra pill and have a lie down...
