Retail Therapy

When one is sick, she needs medicine.

But depending on what kind of sickness. My doc can give me nothing for my cold, nothing for viral infection, so I need to self-medicate to make dear old me feel better. I lost 70% of my voice, lucky I don't have a sore-throat too.

Imagine a mum. Needing her voice to shout and repeat after a selective hearing son, (and husband too). Straining her voice EVEN further. For the past two days. What? Can't hear? STOMP! STOMP! On my floorboard. Or BANG BANG. On the table. Aidan thought I was nuts. *Sigh... shake my head in defeat and raise white flag*

So you tell me. Do I need more endorphins in my system?

Am gonna splash some cash! Yeah Bebeh!

First stop after swimming lessons with Aidan, to Max Brenner and ordered a Jaffa chocolate drink with orchid oil for myself, and a chocolate lick for Aidan. Then I saw the souffle. How can I resist? Got that too with the extra servings of strawberries, ice cream and another portion of melted chocolate. Souffle was small, but was blardy rich. I had to get a takeway cup for my drink. Pity no pics, even their mugs are cute. But I didn't want to bring the camera to the pool. Next time, okay?

Then I got a booster seat for Aidan. We can't buckle him up anymore on his current seat as he is already over 18kg, and it's especially tight with the winter jackets on. $72.00

Need to repair my aging face pronto. And I got this. $122.00 after using up my David Jones' gift vouchers.




And then I got this mini carpet. $30.00 Floorboards are freezingly cold in winter, and Aidan always have cold feet playing on the floor. Didn't like the previous one as it wasn't rubber-backed and always slipped, plus it traps lots of dust.




Then to the chemist for a script, solution for my contact lenses, and these. Total about $110.00
All in the name of preventing ageing fast.



If I do a $10.00 post a day, I will need 30 days straight to get this money back. And I am only a waddling duck compared to those fast descending eagles eyeing for the good opps. How to get the $700.00 opp you tell me?!
