This morning the fog was pretty thick
It was actually worse than it shows.
It didn’t burn off until after nine and now we have a beautiful sunny day
Yesterday hubby asked me to organise getting the last six months of bank statements
So off I go into Cranbourne to organise it at the bank.
Stupid me

I headed off at nine, thinking I’ll get there just as the bank opened its doors
Again. Stupid me.

I parked and went into the centre
Walked to the bank and what did I see?
Its totally block off. They’re apparently doing “ renovations “
I have no idea why. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
I was not a happy camper
So a little retail therapy, I decided, would help
I went into the reject shop. Because I’m a tight wad according to my family and friends. lol
I bought all sorts of bits and bobs. Most of which I really did need. A few others to add to the stash. Like washing tablets. I have a whole bag in the cupboard under the sink but I thought I’d get another while I was there.
I then decided I’d bite the bullet and get me some jeans.
I’ve not bought proper jeans in over a decade. Real jeans are not something you can buy on line. You have to try them on.
I walked in looking flummoxed, which the lovely young lass obviously saw.
I asked her for help getting the right kind of jeans for me
My must haves
High waisted
Very stretchy
And straight legged.
None of these skinny teen jeans.
She took me to the exact ones I needed
I told her my size was 14-16
She said that these were so stretchy they advised going down a size.
She gave me a 12
THEY FIT PERFECTLY
I was happily surprised
They had a deal buy one get the second one half price.
Unfortunately they didn’t have a 12 in the other colour. I felt a Moment of panic thinking I’d have to go to another store to get the second pair.
I did not
The second pair will be sent out to me
After the fiasco of the bank I was extremely pleased
After I get home I sit down to ring the bank hotline
Now we all know ringing the bank you have to prepare all your snacks, drinks, and to not be too far from the bathroom
I got my card and rang
Yup you go through all the please press this number dance only to be told at the end that there is a long wait because their telephonists are all busy. They then suggest online banking
So now, finally, have surrendered and have mobile banking on my phone
I held out as long as I could
Having said that.
It was easy to download the app.
Took minutes to set up and I was able to download and send all the statements in an email to the workshop
I rang wonderson and informed home that there were six emails from me to him.
He thanked me and said he would print them out shortly
Now. If men did what we asked them to do as quickly as I did. Well. There would be no such thing as nagging
Don’t you agree?
Great tale 😀 we can still go into a bank for help but have to close a rendezvous days ahead. You're very computer savvy. So much easier to do things like that.... IF you know how 😳 good job
ReplyDeleteAnd jeans. I've stopped wearing them, so thing I never thought would happen. I wore them everywhere. But if I could walk into a shop like you and get them exactly how I wanted them, like you, high waist and elastic, I'd think about buying another pair.
Love those misty mornings. So quiet and mysterious.
I hate shopping for jeans. I could do with your useful shop assistant as there always seems to be too much choice and none of them are exactly what I am looking for.
ReplyDeleteAs for the men thing, oh yeah, definitely!
Congrats on the new jeans! And on finding a helpful clerk in the jeans store! Those are very rare these days.
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn jeans in years. However I would be thrilled to be able to go down a size. She did indeed sound like a great sales girl.
ReplyDeleteUsual in our thrift store, they run under $10. Jeans that is.
