I am so glad i left a bit earlier than i normally would - traffic through the main road to the hospital was horrendous, they were doing roadworks and had those annoying temporary lights, that seem to be very temperamental with changing over. However, eventually i managed to get there - thinking i would have around 15 minutes to sit down, get settled and relax for a bit before my appointment - no chance with the traffic the way it was. I got to my appointment with about 2 minutes to spare.
I needn't of rushed though - since the Consultant was running late with his appointments, i eventually went in just over an hour after my appointment time.
I find that highly frustrating, you make the effort to get there on time (most of the time being early too!), and the Consultants can't even be bothered to turn up on time/keep to their appointment schedules. No matter, it's done with - for now.
I have to go back in couple of months for a follow up to the tests the Doc ordered.
After the hospital, i had a little look around the local superstore, but couldn't stay there long, my mind was concerned with the snow outside - and if it settled more, getting home would have been a huge issue.
Public transport seems to grind to a complete halt when the slightest bit of snow falls - and that is exactly what happened yesterday - a little snow, bearing in mind none had really settled and the bus stopped. Yikes!
Fortunately, the snow was starting to ease up a bit, so i got the next bus to the high street and done a little shopping and managed to get home fine - thank goodness.
I tend to have an 'episode' if i start thinking i won't be able to get home, although, if i absolutely had to, i would have walked the 6 miles home!
So, the shopping after the hospital. What did i buy?
Well, keeping with tradition - More clothes of course!
I have eased up a bit though, not buying as much as i normally would, i still didn't do too bad and what i did buy was in the sales (of course!), if i can do it, i very, very rarely pay the full price for something.
List of what i bought:
- 5 tops (including a thick fleece top) - at the bargain price of £17.33
- 2 pairs of jogging bottoms - £10 for both pairs
- Scarf, Gloves & Sparkly Beret - £4.75 for everything
- Slippers - £2.60 for the pair
I do find the bargains! I absolutely love a good bargain.
Why pay full price for something when it will inevitably end up in the sale?
Even if it doesn't end up in the sale and they sell out, is it really a great loss?
I don't think so, since a bargain can always be found if you look hard enough - and you might even actually find something better, i usually do!
