Well, I voted - Ugh

I got up this morning, stuffed my polling card in my pocket and started the day determined to make a difference in my local area.

Bollocks to that. I was SO disappointed. When I got there, I realised that I'd misunderstood the difference between a district council area and the wards for voting. See, I'm still fairly ignorant about politics! I'd read the green party website last night and found that they had a candidate in Adur District ... MY district council. Unfortuately I am classed under a different ward though and we have NO green local candidate.

I had a choice of the three "major" parties

Well, I didn't want A or B ... so I was left with no choice but to vote C. I'm determined to go get a metric butt-load of candles made today to at least make SOME part of my day worth it *sigh*

Failure of a shopping spree!!!!

I decided to hit the sales yesterday as this is the first time in years that I've had some cash to spare! I don't have a LOT, but have SOME and damned well wanted to spend it on myself! Mum also gave me some shopping money for my Christmas present, so off to Worthing I did go with Mum and Megan in tow (ooh that rhymes - unintentional! LOL)

What did I buy yesterday? A complete fat ZILCH!!!! Came home totally empty handed and totally deflated!

I've been after a pair of flat brown knee high boots for weeks now and not found anything remotely like what I was looking for, and I refused to buy something that wasn't quite right as that would just have been a waste of my money! After tramping around Worthing for a couple of hours we kinda gave up and went home!!! I didn't even find any clothes either - the "look" at the moment is kinda punky / emo / gothic and it just doesn't suit me. The other side of what seems to be popular right now is a sexy/chic office style but I have nowhere to wear clothes like that and again - it's not me! I've never really been into high fashion and tend to wear what I know looks good on me and that I feel good in - hence why I came home with naff all yesterday!!!
