Now I know I have moaned about Primark in the past but they do have some lovely lovely flouncy skirts in at the moment

[Oliveoil]

I have just been and done a swoop of the store (a £69.50 kind of swoop)

and I got 3 skirts, black with grey trim, grey with embroidery and a brown linen one

great to wear to work/park/school run whatever

just look out for hatchet-faced woman wielding prams when you go

To Sydney and I can't fekin wait!

Where are you going to Oliveoil?

Perth

but we seemed to have timed it for a housing crash and a low £/$ exchange rate

Tell me about it! We managed to offload our flat just before it got really bad. And $2.10 to the £???

Sydney has had a bit of a housing crash too so we're hoping we can actually afford to get on the property ladder there now.

I read it was $1.99...

sigh

FFS, really?? Oh maaaaaan.

No family, but lots of friends.

No jobs yet. I'm registered with agencies who seem pretty hopeful, so we'll see! DH is going to be a SAHD. He says. We'll see how long that lasts.
