A More Productive Day

I am feeling a lot happier with myself today as I have actually used my time quite well. I was up at around 09:00 this morning, though I didn't get into the shower until 10:30 (that wasn't entirely my fault as twice previously I went to have a shower and both time it was occupied, and in between I got distracted on the internet). I was out of the door soon after my shower though and down to the post office to send off 2 loads of comics that I'd sold on eBay and a birthday card to my niece (her birthday is a day after mine).
I then went on to do some shopping despite the deceptive weather. It was bright sunshine and fairly warm, but when the sun went behind clouds it was a bit chilly in the wind. My toes were freezing as I had sandals on (without socks - which should go without saying).
I headed straight for a small shop on Charing Cross Road that I had passed many times but never been in. It sells all sorts of bags and I spotted just what I wanted as I entered the door, and it was only £10.99. Bargain.
I then went to Orbital Comics and got 2 reference comics and a book that I have been meaning to buy for ages. The book, a Superman Encyclopedia, completes a set of three (along with those concerning Batman and Wonder Woman) and was also on sale, saving me £4.50.
I then popped to Burtons to see if I could find any nice tops that I may have missed when I went in there earlier in the week. I was overloaded with tops and had to make a decision on which ones to buy. I ended up taking 6, all t-shirts with 3-4 buttons down the front from the neck. All for £50.
I decided that I had been quite lucky with my bargains so far and not to push my luck so I got the bus home. On the way I stopped at Somerfield, which I have only just realised is within walking distance of home, is cheaper than Waitrose and has a better selection (and better hygiene) than Tesco. I think I will be shopping there more often.
When I got home, I cooked a healthy lunch and sat down to watch Neighbours and Home & Away.
Now, as it is coming up to the early evening I am beginning to think that I want to go out into Soho again tonight. I shouldn't, because I am planning to drink on Saturday and Sunday, but it is so tempting. I also don't know that anyone else is going to be out, so I should probably stay in and prepare myself for a hard-drinking birthday weekend. We shall see. If one person even hints that they will be out tonight I'm off!
