Meaning that Mum and I finally got to the hairdresser's today. It took us half the day, as we had to take the roundaway path, due to the fact that the tram spurs are being repaired (like every dratted summer), and so the getting there part was a bit complicated. It was worth the effort, though, as we no longer look like a pair of particularly depressed Neanderthals around the end of a very long winter. Yay!

While Mum was getting her perm (I only ever have a haircut), I went to two of my favourite craft shops. Unfortunately, these are not the ones where I could have used my gift cards. But I enjoyed greatly spending a batch of money there.

Firstly, I bought this sheet of beautiful scrapbook paper:



For some nebulous reason it was cheaper than the similar ones in the supermarket - not that I'm complaining. *g*

Then, in the same shop, I found totally irresistible craft ribbons - for half the usual price! They still weren't exactly cheap, but tell me honestly, could I possibly have left them there?



I also bought an acrylic pen because the old one has run out and some felt and Dekorgummi sheats; the latter are the ones that look like frottee (or whatever it's called in English), and they are great for pencil holders.

I visited the Müller drugstore, too, but I restricted myself to items we actually needed, like new toothbrushes and the likes(*). All in all, I enjoyed my shopping spree greatly.

Getting home we were so drained that we decided not to cook today, so we ate leftover soup and sandwiches. And fruit, of course. You can never have enough fruit. I briefly talked to Enie on the phone, since she's turning 50 today, and watched some telly. It's still quite hot over here, but not unbearably so.

(*)... and some drastically price-reduced Lindt and Milka chocolate bunnies...

What a fun day. Glad you got you hair cut and fun supplies, too.

The haircut was definitely overdue. I haven't had such long hair for 30+ years - it felt like a poultice on the back of my neck. Grrrrr!

We all share a certain extent of vanity. *g*

the only thing I've heard about opening up again is hairdressers, which doesn't do me any good as I never went to them even before this whole virus scare started.

Well, I have to. What little hair I still own is completely untamable on my own.

It is so much fun to do unessential shopping again. Not feeling guilty as you stroll around a shop is heaven. (Elwenlj)

You are very right about that. I wish I had bought that scallop punch I was eyeing with, but it was so unreasonably expensive. It isn't that I can't afford it, it's just that I grew up turning every penny around twice, an old habits are hard to break.

Always nice when you shop just for yourself and not necessities :0) And nice, too, when what you see is on sale!

Yes, very much so, on both occasions!
