The Day I Decided I Might Have a Little Paperchase Problem
Saturday, August 15th, 2009
Working in the complex where I do is a problem for two rather relevant reasons. Firstly, there is a Krispy Kreme donut stall. Anyone who’s ever eaten even a single Krispy Kreme will know that this requires no further explanation. Secondly, Paperchase is just around the corner from the shop I work in, and it happens to have the most enticing window displays full of trinkets and lovely printed notepaper and diaries…. does a person really need six notebooks and an assortment of birthday cards to keep ‘just in case’? Probably not. While wandering past yesterday on my way to work, I noticed they had a new rack of postcards in the window… I left with several for the Boy’s room, one for the kitchen (which actually made me guffaw out loud) and a lovely little bargain ‘Hula Lover’ £3 bag. I’ve decided this new job isn’t as great as it first appeared - at this rate I’m going to end up fat and broke, but I suppose at least I’ll have a wonderful stationary collection.
To buy all of these completely unnecessary items, I wore my new beige peg-leg trousers (£5 from H&M in the sale), a t-shirt from eBay (also £5), bright red socks and black boots from New Look. I have to admit, the combination of boots, socks and the cut of the trouser made me feel a little like I was an eighties-skinhead (think This is England - all I needed were braces) but I went with it anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained…
