That makes five days I haven't managed to go to the shop despite meaning to. Though I did go to other shops and keep myself somewhat supplied with caffeine. Sigh.
I have, however, been to two choir rehearsals and a metal class. And next week I will do the same and I'm going to learn to weld!
And I took Laa out and we signed up for a jewellery making class. And then I also signed up for stained glass making, and was the first one on the list - hopefully there will be enough people by the time it starts. We had to sign up for jewellery now, though, because it is one of the popular ones, with two classes and one was already full.
And I have spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at tiles on the internet. First it was pricing (bottom end, which is the idea, is £5-15 per sqm; but some people apparently pay over £100 per sq m, which would mean my not-large bathroom costing a couple of thousand, which is insane, and these people probably have much larger rooms and pay somebody else to tile them. Though I admit the Live Glass ones are pretty - they're kind of like those ridged cards with changing pictures that you used to get, with stripes of glass that change colour depending on the angle you're at. But I still gawp at the price.) but then I got involved in thinking about my kitchen - which is just, like, sink, fridge, cooker, two metres wide, with wall cabinets as well, and I was going... oh, these ones come in half-metre-squared packs, I could use a few different shades of blue... or ooh, those red ones are awesome, and those black ones, I could just buy a few and use them as accents in plain white... or oh, I do like those mosaic-y ones even though they're a bit expensive, and it's not like I'd need many of them... Essentially doing what I did when I was shoe-shopping. Not good, self, not good. (ETA: sweet jebus, some of the mosaic ones are over £200. wait, no. £300 per sq m. My gast is flabbered.)(ETAA: brushed-effect metal mosaic, actually quite pretty, nearly £40 per sheet... 11 sheets per square metre. My jaw, it is dropped.)
Speaking of shoe-shopping, there was a magazine I picked up waiting somewhere, and it had people who organise people's wardrobes, and one of said organising people said, "The average girl has 50-100 pairs of shoes and 40 pairs of trousers." I got rid of about half my shoes because I thought twenty pairs was far too many. And I may have ten pairs of trousers but I doubt more than half of them are actually wearable. So. Y'know. I'm amused. I forget that people think I'm strange.
