Ive had one of those days today where i felt all proud of myself for getting so much stuff done :)
I decided to go into town and collect my argentinian pesos and buy all the odd bits i need for my trip ( meaning a major boots trip ). So first i went into boots and filled my basket with all sorts of goodies like shampoo and conditioner.. insect repellant ( jungle stength.. obviously) .. sun cream ( factors fifteen and thirty) ..and id decided id buy these really cute little heart shaped padlocks for my suitcase ( theyre pink!) then it came to the dreaded moment that id been putting off.. asking the nice bloke for diarrhea tablets incase of travellers diarrhea. i know its an everyday thing for these lovely boots workers. i just happened to be served by this way buff guy who came over all smiley and handsome looking and i just mumbled with a massive red face " ill have some.. of those.. umm... immodium things er.. please." i almost added " i dont have diarrhea, its just in case i get it, while im away.. helping orphans.." but thought maybe that would make me look even more odd. he could tell i was embarassed and blatantly was trying to hide his laugh while reaching for them.
So i got that over and done with and headed off to TKMAXX for my next mission. Mum had insisted i buy some long shorts as hotpants clearly wont be suitable. now normsally tkmaxx stresses me out quite a lot. lots of bargain hunters in one place. quite possibly only one thing in each size. its just gaggin for girl fights and lets be honest. i would lose. but it was quite quiet aqnd after trying on literally 13 pairs of long shorts there were 3 pairs that actually fit, and two pairs that i liked. yay. plus i found a cute billabong rucksack for taking to the projects with all my first aid kit and water bottles and that kind of crap and it wss only a tenner so got that aswell. :) quite successful!
Thennn i went BACK to the travel clinic for MORE injections because ht enurse at the doctors surgery said i didnt need typhoid jabs, then the nurse at the travel clinic said i needed it but gcould get it for free from the doctor, so called to make an appointment at the doctor but they couldnt fit me in until wednesday... i.e. they day i leave. so had to end up having it at the travel clinic and had to pay £30 but i guess its better than dying or whatever typhoid does to you ( i decided not to look up symptoms of the diseases i may get.. less scary). it hurt more than all my other injections. i have an inkling she used a massive needle but i didnt look im too chicken ever since the last time i tried to give blood... and fainted.. in front of EVERYONE. after that little ordeal i went to thomas cook to pick up my currency ( after getting way lost in the lower car park of the grand arcade) and then went to tesco on the way home to buy food for my lunch for the week becuase we didnt have much that i like :)
then got home and was majorly tired and watched neighbours and genereally vegged.
anyway ive not checked my bank balance yet but i think i spent in the region of £500 today. including the currency obviously. so not too bad., but still! im poor again!:(
Was meant to see my lovely friend louise tonight but in a seriosuly dodgy mood, so im sorry louise, you havent text me back so i hope your not in a grump with me and if you are im gonna come round your house and annoy you until you like me again. :) hopefully this public grovelling will help. i love you <3
