Withdrawl Symptoms.

My life is in the way...

Of my need for Retail Therapy.  It's very depressing and I am suffering symptoms associated with not shopping!  I have not shopped enough this week as I have been very busy doing everything else but shop.  See the photo? That's me at work making lampshades. 

It's been so busy I have barely had a glass of wine.  Mr BWS (Beer, Wine & Spirits) is going to send out a search party.  He knows me and it's not because I go there alot, it's because my life saver and BFF neighbour rang Mr BWS once and asked him to ask me to get her milk! The humiliation! Milk on a Friday night?! BFF learnt fast that Friday night, milk and me is not going to happen. Alright  - Yes - I did buy the milk.  It was raining and BFF was not getting wet, unlike me who would go to the bottleshop in a hail storm!

But my need for Retail Therapy, and Wine Drinking will be fixed, as I'm going to lunch, so all the wine I've missed out on will be consumed and the shopping will be sort of be done by seeing what everyone has bought, and is wearing.  You see I'm going to a Label Magazine Lunch  - a GC DO if I may say so  - and a real eye opener, even for a GC girl like me.....

Now I don't want this to be mean or nasty or horrible, but how much is too much?  And this blog is NOT intended to be bitchy or judgemental, but, some of the girls at these lunches look horrible!  They probably think I look everybit of my housewife existence, and that's ok with me, but in all seriousness some of the women look like drag queens.  They have big fake hair, big fake boobs, and big fake lips. And the worst part is that they were probably very attractive to start with. 

Now I am right into spending money on looking good - In fact my husband will tell anyone that I am right into spending money fullstop!  What I am trying to say is that we are so lucky now days with what we can wear: you can get amazing bras, botox, boob jobs, gel pads for sore feet, eyelash perming, eyeliner tattooing and the list goes on forever.  I think it's fantastic! I love it! If my husband worked a bit harder and increased his hours from 80-100,  and I didn;t have 4 children, I could get stuff done too, but that's probably a story for another blog.....



Off to Lunch on my bike wearing Lisa Brown - Cheers!

My mother died when she was 50 - 15 years ago.  The reason why I'm telling you this is because I use it as a time benchmark for how different life is now.  You couldn't text when she was alive, in fact compared to how we live today, things were fairly limited back then.

So why is it, that there are so many options out there - you can even buy comfortable "hold me in pants" - and yet some girls still look terrible?  Maybe it's just in my eyes?


Can you tell I haven't had wine? I'm off on my bike to lunch.....
