I'm on holiday don't ya know

I'm on holiday this week and its fab

yesterday I spent all day watching the olympics, searching on ebay and blogging oh and from my position sat on my new bed I could see my boys and pals playing cricket on the green about 100 yds away.

I didn't even bother to get dressed I spent the whole day in my PJs which was wonderful, I don't think I have ever done that unless I'm ill. I felt so relaxed and content. Perhaps I should do this more often.

Today I treated myself to a visit to the hairdresser and had a catch up with 'my hairdresser' it was the first time she has cut my hair since last October. In December she couldn't cut my hair because she was too busy cutting my mum's hair then a few months ago her husband had a brain haemorage and was in a coma so she gave up work until he was better. I must say that by the time I left my hair looked absolutely fabulous. But it didn't last. Not long after this I was walking to my car ready to visit my mum when the heavens opened. I had my brolley bu both hands were full with things I was carrying. So my hair got wet and my lovely smooth straight hair became curly.








Although I hadn't told my mum I was going to visit her today she had a feeling I would and had some real cream chocolate eclairs to have with our cuppa.









After I had spent a couple of hours chatting to my mum about anything and everything including writing styles, she is thinking of going back to our creative writing classes. Now I am pondering should I do the same ......would be fun but could also be dangerous. Perhaps I shall do the belly dancing class instead. I went off to asda, first stopping at the bottle bank to get rid of all the bottles I have been accumulating. JA calls me an alcoholic but in truth 95% of the bottles are non alcoholic wine. Then it was a visit to an out of town business centre to collect one of my parcels. My pretty pink chiffon frill skirt has arrived. As has the pink samsung now I am not sure whether to keep it or give it to my mum as the phone I bought her for xmas has given up just like JA's one has (oh well I only paid £19 each for them).

I have been keeping an eye on the other items I had found on ebay. Since yesterday's post I have procured myself a rose quartz necklace, an amber bead necklace.












I also won a Randolph Duke reversible green skirt. Which then meant that I got another skirt at a great discount so I chose a Anttony Light Brown Mosaic of Love Skirt which I can't now find a picture of.



















I have bought these shoes for a mere £0.99 plus p+p

But I am not sure which of these shoes to go for




these sling backs currently at £2.50 plus p+p or these sasha court shoes currently at £5 plus p+p









Tomorrow I shall get myself to the gym and in the evening I have been invited out for a drink. somewhere in between I need to sort out my old clothes. Thursday I may even get down to doing some work then on friday I'm off out for lunch with my mum.




Then just in case you were not aware I am off to have fun with Fire Byrd aka Bollinger Byrd, collecting Mei Del on the way, there will be a fwe others there too. as far as I am aware there will be about 8 of us this time so who knows what fun we will manage to get up to.

If I'm really lucky I may even get to see Romeo at some point too.

which for some reason has reminded me that I was chatting tonight with LV about my latest fantasy. When I began writing it I had only the very first line in my mind, I had no idea who the characters would be or where the story would take me. When I got to the end I felt I ahd taken it as far as I could but later started building profiles in my mind for the two characters so perhaps I shall write more about them. LV seems to have enjoyed this one describing it as very hot. So if anyone else agrees perhaps I shall write some more. I had thought I had lost any inspiration to write these fantasies but maybe I am beginning to get my inspiration back.

DJ Kirkby said...

Mel said...

Wow are you stocking up on the goodies off ebay!

Definitely the slingbacks. *nodding*

And have a gloriously wonderful time of it. Hug the birdie for me, please! (tyvm!) :-)

Lady in red said...

lol at Miss U considering how you feel about shoe shopping that is quite some endorsement.

oh and its really good to see you back and I really feel for you with everything you have been through in your absence but you appear to be bouncing back now

hugs for a very brave lady

Lady in red said...

dj I am lmao I really didn't expect to find many shoes in my petite size 3(they do seem quite sparse in the shops except in the childrens sections) but there are thousands of them so no I won't buy all of them I shall leave a few for those who don't get there before me for the best ones.

Lady in red said...

Mel if I don't do it now it could be some time before I get another opportunity and I am treating these things as an investment for our future rather than just things I would like to have.

MarmiteToasty said...

You girls have a good time...and if you think of a solitary soul from across the sea who'd dearly love to play with you girls...you know where it comes from...:)

Unknown said...

Definitely you must write. I hope you find your muse. I should be writing, too.

Trixie said...

Sounds like you are getting addicted to eBay! I love those days you spend in your PJ's!

nitebyrd said...

OOooh! Have fun with the other ladies! Love all the shoes and that skirt is in one of my favorite colors.

Lady in red said...

marmie I did get both in the end except that I faffed around so long that I missed the end of the auction for the sling backs but as they hadn't sold I emailed the seller and said I was still interested. so she put them back on as a 'buy now' item just for me £ 2.50 plus p+p I just had to let her know when I ws online then she would put them on.

Those pesky boys have not been around much other than sitting up half the night playing ps3 and watching olympics

I hope you find your soul soon too many people will miss you if you don't

Lady in red said...

Ron I am sure that at least 3 of us will be raising a glass for you.
perhaps you could do a joint harem story for the three of us.

Lady in red said...

ashley I have dabbled in a little writing this week which has seen 2 short fantasies appearing on LiR writes but I don't think many are reading them. A third is in progress but then I gess I ahve quite a few projects in progress. Perhaps after my weekend I shall find more time and energy to finish some of them.

Lady in red said...

trixie I seem to go through phases with ebay but never before have I gone for so much in such a short time.

Lady in red said...

nitebyrd by the time I get everything the current tally is 4 pairs of shoes, 2 necklaces, 2 blouses and 9 skirts.

as for ladies having fun knowing who will be there it will be fun
