Have been doing a lot of thinking lately and have finally got myself in some sort of order. Brain needs to be streamlined a bit and I need less chaos and stress. I know Im always bleating on how I dont have much money well with my monopoly moneyI went and splashed out on a couple of pairs of jeans from New Look and a couple of black jumpers from M&S and that will be my 'winter uniform'. How very very boring you might think - well it works for me - it willbe an outfit that looks perfect instead of things thrown together and me finding it doesnt fit properly lol. Next mission is to find a perfect handbag which suits all my needs, and I already know the boots I want I just cant afford them! At the moment I am throwing all my stuff into any old bag and i can never find anything in it when I need so. Im always finding myself at the checkout and hey where is my purseor my card or my phone if it rings, its getting much too embarassing so I really need to sort it. I need to take so much wherever I go so I hope I never get my bag stolen, mind you who will want the amount of meds I take lol.
Anyway what started me on this mission is thinking about when I went to live in Spain. Hubby and I left the UK with just 3 huge suitcases thats all and they were filled with clothes and a few personal possessions. All I actually missed was DVD player, english TV and some books other than that I didnt want for anything. I could walk to the bread shop, fish shop and supermarket, buy bedclothes at the market and of course everything else under the sun, had gas bottles delivered, shared the elctricity bill with my neighbour and didnt even have the phone connected. I used to nip down the internet cafe (one of many) to surf the net and have coffee in a lovely coffee shop where they used to see me coming and get my order ready for me when I gave them the thumbs up from a distance. Now how wonderful is that. I lived in a predominately Spanish area,whch sounds awful to say that because Spain is for the Spanish, but thats why we chose to have a flat there cos I didnt want to be surrounded by British ex pats. Yes I had a few British freinds but I also had Norwegian and Spanish freinds too. My spanish neighbour regularly brought food in for me to try and she even took me to the local hairdressing salon to introduce me, where I must add I had the best hair cut nearly ever. I so miss it I really do, especially in the mornings when I opened up my kitchen window and there was always someone else opening theirs and saying 'Hola'. Maybe in the UK it would be similar if you had a small village or small town but mine is the worst town ever I hate it, must move sometime hmmmmmmmmm ...... brain is a athinking again.
