The lure of shopping

WillowTheWhisp · 14-01-2007, 16:09

Yesterday Busman and I had the afternoon to ourselves, which makes a change, and he decided to take me somewhere he'd taken a coach trip to. Now it may seem like an odd place to take a coach trip but I've done a bit of a google and they do an interesting presentation for parties of 10 or more apparently.

Anyway there only being the two of us we just went for a mooch round - the place being Rourke's Forge on Accrington Road Burnley.

We weren't intending to buy anything you understand, just to have a look at the lovely wrought iron work and the beautiful gates. There are some gorgeous ones and if ever we get a house big enough I'd love the gates with all the iron roses twined round.

So there we were, just looking at things we had no intention of buying so how come we came out with two, not one but two candle holders and a bell? Not only that - we ordered a dining room table and four chairs!

To cap it off we also went to Bardon Mill and bought a few more "bargains" there.

i know exactly what you mean willow....i have a thing about shoes, boots and hand bags......i bought yet another pair of knee boots the other day, i didnt need them, but they just shouted at me to buy them, same with my pink stilettos, didnt need them but they're gorgeous, everytime i go to manchester i always manage to come home with a new bag, went to belgium and came home with a tweety pie bag cos it was cute n pink....i dont even like tweety bloody pie....what is the world coming to eh?

Shopping my favourite hobby

Got to admit though, I do more and more of it sat at the pc these days. If mthead will insist on leaving me alone at the pc with my credit card that's his fault

WillowTheWhisp · 14-01-2007, 16:35

It's not our fault - it's these beautiful things that just call out to us - "buy me, buy me"

lol@ the tweetie pie handbag

If you like wrought ironwork I do recommend Rourke's Forge though. They've made some very famous gates.

WillowTheWhisp · 14-01-2007, 16:47

....... and stop changing the subject from these dodgy pink stilettos you've been buying!

Back to subject...

I dont like shopping too darn stressful at times, cos when i have money theres nothing left or bargains to behold & when i dont have the money grr all the flipping bargins i could wish for are on & theres things i want but cant buy

Ah hum hopefully one day it will sync right
