I went to town with my friend this afternoon, a different town to the one we normally go to. We packed her husband off somewhere else to have girls only bonding time!
I banked some business money (tedious), then went to the post office to post Jay's book and because it was to America, the lady asked me what the package was for insurance purposes. I grinned at her and said 'It's a book, a really great book, you know, I wrote it.' My friend started laughing.
Then we went into the newsagents and I found a magazine with me in it so I said to her, 'Oh God, they've published my picture; that's embarrassing, isn't it? Lets buy two copies and you can have one.'
So I slapped these magazines on the counter and said to the cashier 'It's got me in it, you know.' To which my friend started laughing even more!
She said the camera men are going to start chasing me around like they did before the D!
Then she said as a thank you for the free magazine, she would take me to the 70% off sale so I chose this cardigan which she paid for.
Then we sat in the travel agent, looking at brochures of foreign countries and fantasizing about where we can retire to, LOL.
I had the best time ever. There's a lot to be said for GAL.
