She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.
The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realised she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a couple of more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant.
Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted,
'You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself!
While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round-the-clock care. And he will now be your career!'
The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed.
The lady doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg.
He's dead. Show me what you bought.'

g'day all!
put me down for £25.07 into various savings accounts please
i've been doing a wee bit of jiggling and opened some new accounts with better interest rates and am hoping, for once in my life, that i'm being a bit financially savvy! a Lloyds Vantage account paying 4% and a new Lloyds Monthly Saver at 5%...added to the 2.65% on my ISA (soon to be swopped in) and i hope i'm doing my best to beat the [STRIKE]w[/STRIKE]bankers.
only trouble is that the FIL is playing up again and so it's looking likely that we'll have to move out sooner than we'd planned, which will truly scupper our savings plans. oh well. gotta keep on keeping on, eh?

Sorry love still not pad from me.... however those choc cupcakes sound AMAZING. Back on the sw wagon for me... just ate some homemade soup that looked like vomit.
Also, finally rang the counsellor people this morning and I've got an appointment on Monday. I was out last night for my friends leaving drinks and one of my other friends was telling me that I am one of the most thoughtful people he knows (which i totally do not see) and it really upset me! I can't carry on being upset all the time.Became Mrs Scotland 16.01.16Became homeowners 26.02.16
