Yesterday, It Appears I Shrank:
So we had ?slipper? day in work yesterday, it was for charity, the Samaritans, we had to donate ?5 if we wanted to wear slippers in work for the day, nice idea, unless you are me and forget until 7.30 the evening before, and then have to drive to Dundrum* at high speed and then wander around looking for cool slippers, which I found, for the amazing sum of ?4 in Penney?s / Primark. (yay!) Also I managed to spend ?44 more than that on other jazz, including, yes, you have guessed it, more pants / knickers (which I needed!!!).
Anyway I got jeans and a dress, and pants and slippers all for under ?50 which makes me so happy. But I have shrank, and I don?t know how. The dress is smaller than usual and the jeans, well, I never tried them on but they are HUGE on me, now I am wearing them anyway, because they look intentionally slouchy and actually quite cool, but I will be getting the smaller ones too, and then there are the slippers, I was a size 6 / 39 forever, then a couple of years ago it changed to a 5, but the slippers that I bought are a ?small? / size 3-4 / 37-38, WTF??? I don?t know what?s happening, are the clothes / shoes just getting bigger or am I somehow shrinking?
Suggestions on a postcard please.
*Big shopping centre / mall, stays open till 9pm every day.
**I know, I look demented in the pic, we all got one taken in out slippers to highlight the ?relaxed? state of mind we were all in yesterday.

Is it "shrank" or "shrunk"?
Hmmm.
Oh, and yes, you do look demented in the pic. But I do love your "no freaking out" sign.

Ah yes, stolen from you I think!! I made them for everyone, cause that's what I do mostly in work when I am not in the humour of "real" work. I don't understand how I look so demented, and small, do I normally look like this?? If so...I am scared!

I think I emailed it to you rather than you "stealing" it as you claim. It's totally my favourite sign, and in my opinion should be present in every workplace (it's in mine too). I should post it for everyone to download really, shouldn't I? If anyone wants it let me know and I'll post it up here.
