Got some brown Dune brogues (very soft and comfy), new Italian-made black shoes (for gigs), and dark brown boots (for a change to wear at work and also going out). I may need some insoles for the black ones - I'm basically in-between an 8.5 and 9 so it's always hard finding the right size and a bit of pot luck frankly! I also bought some dark blue brogues last night for £40 (reduced from £150)- the shop had the last pair of size 9s and I loved the colour so thought, why not?!
I have bought lots of new clothes yes. Mainly shirts, sweatshirts and trousers. Have asked for a few nice jumpers for Xmas from my family. The reduction in costs elsewhere has allowed me to update my wardrobe gradually over the last few months. Think this is another reason why people seem to think I look better; standing more confidently, walking with purpose rather than looking timid, talking a bit slower and contributing more to conversations.
I'm trying to validate with work colleagues when appropriate, when they talk about non-work stuff like family issues etc. It really helps with the whole brain re-wiring thing.
GAL for today - haircut, meeting best mate after work for dinner, then gym.
Tomorrow I need to head up to the house to pick up some instruments for a gig this weekend (and a very well paid one at that). Been looking into hiring a little van for gigs then I could downsize to a smaller car to save money.
Wow, my W is sure missing out!
