I took myself out shopping
I'd not been out all week
And with all the traumas that cropped up
I thought I'd have a treat !

Building society -pay Mum;s care fees
Post Office - Pension Day !
Then off I went to the charity shops
Bargains there ? I'd say !!

I got a box file and some notelets
A picture - the lot 50p !
Two Jumpers - a bit dearer
£3 each..........hope they fit me !

More notelets - in a gift box
Pot Pourri -vanilla scent
Some Olive oil soap & a sponge
So far -Nine pound was spent !

Then I saw an orchid
Wasn't real you understand
But the same colour as my wedding flower
I grabbed it in my hand !

Back to the counter then I went
Got it paid for - 80p !
So still I'd spent under a tenner
And that's not bad for me !

Better not spend more I thought
Time I was getting home
To take the decorations down
Be bad luck if I don't !

Our lad and his mates helped me
(No accidents this year !)
So that's all done - but the rest
Of 'stuff to do' - oh dear !

I haven't touched my filing cabinet
Diary ? - that's 4 days late
My desk's a mess - can't find things
Grans locket will have to wait.

Oh deary me I've gone to pot
I must get organised
Keep at least one New Years Resolution
If it's only 'daily moisurise' !
