Goddess in Love

Who burns frozen veg?  The answer you're looking for, is... me, I do.  However that was two weeks ago and today, I'm Nigella Lawson, on steroids.  I am more than a  domestic Goddess.  Yesterday, I made a kind of pastry-less quiche, which is amazing (just eggs, spring onions, baby plum tomatoes and a little feta, oh and a teensy bit of extra virgin olive oil to stop it sticking.)  Today I'm having to-die-for stir-fry, I have steam mopped the front hall, cleaned windows, mirrors, ironed and sorted out my 'summer draw', that draw whose contents only see the light of day, once a year, if that.

Change of subject, and recently, (last week,) I fell in love with a top.  I know it's ridiculous but I was wandering around Topshop, trying to waste time, when I spied a woman, carrying this gorgeous top in her arms.  I should have just asked her which rack it was located on, but I thought I would put her off the gorgeous top, by asking.  So I trawled around and eventually found said top.  God it's beautiful, and so me. 

However, it's before payday and I cannot, do not have the ability to splurge before payday.  But it is so, so gorgeous. 

I shop with Jan on my day off, which happens to be payday, try on my nearest size, it looks more fabulous than I imagined.  'Get it!" Jan insists, however, it's too big and they don't have my size.  The shop assistant who phoned through to double check stock tells me that they do not have my size, but it really suited me.  Damn it, I'm in love.

So I search the Internet and every store in the Northern hemisphere, but it is out of stock/not available.  Because it's so unobtainable, I want it more.  It really is SO me Col.  I even did that thing, you know how I divide the cost by the number of wears to justify it?  If it cost £40.00 and I wore it four times, therefore it only cost £10.00 per wear, which is a bargain in anyones' book. 

I'm so used to buying things on sale, £36.00 for a top is probably going to give me a heart attack, but I do love it, so much, I think that for once, I may have to throw caution to the wind.
