A compliment a day....

I have had a lovely if slightly bizarre day.

I had a night out with Mr C last night straight from work so I left my diary on my desk. BIG mistake.

I had two appointments today one to pick up my new corset. It's all made to measure and is lovely. Black satin and a underbust one. I love it.
The other appointment was a to get my hair done. I got the two times mixed up. So it was a bit of a rush when I realised.

The new corset is beautiful...so comfy... I'm going to wear it and wear it.

So I legged it back to my hairdresser to get my hair done. If anyone has seen Mistresses and remembers Jessica's hair do from series one, thats what I aimed for. It's all sort of modern and asymmetrical....A real change for me but I love it.

I then popped into Boots which is where the bizarreness all happened.

I was restocking up on my Ponds cold cream... when this lady started chatting to me about how she used to use it years ago, I said that had used it for a while and that I read in an interview Kylie used it too.....she looked amused at that and we had a wee discussion about skin care. She kept saying I was the right age to start being so young...I laughed and said I wasn't that young but thanks, she looked at me and said I was early twenties surely....I really started to laugh and told her I was 37, she was gratifyingly surprised, just then another lady came up and asked me did I use POnds as I was holding the box in my hand. I said I did and she joined in our conversation about skin care. The first lady couldn't wait to ask the new lady my age and seemed to get more of a kick than me when I told her...she reckoned I was in my early twenties too. Turns out she was 70 and the first lady was 79...neither looked their age. we had a wander about the shelves together and decided I need a toner so went for the shops rosewater and glycerin one.

I spent a whole £6.48 on the Ponds and on the toner.
We all hugged each other goodbye and said we should have a reunion next to the moisturisers in six weeks to see how we got on.
I suspect Boots might have ninga sales woman who sell by stealth. Because these two were deadly, If they don't it's a cracking way to do it.

It was a really lovely and random moment that so made my day.
Next I went to farmfoods to get some milk where I had another conversation with someone at the checkout about milk and bread and how she got a real bargin and was so chuffed but would just have to drink the extra milk she had bought!

On to the car park where I was stopped for direction by a older couple who were obviously dressed for a wedding. The woman was wearing a lovely red dress and I complimented her on it, she was all thrilled and told me it was her cousins wedding and she had been all worried about what to wear, I told her she looked gorgeous , she did, she was delighted. Her hubby looked at her as if he was just so proud of her. It was just lovely.

So I decided to try and give a sincere compliment once a day from now on as I really saw how a nice compliment can just make someones day. We all find it easier to be critical and tear someone down....I want to try and do the opposite. And if I felt the need to pass on my good mood, I'm sure others will.

Ok this is just a cute pic. But makes me smile!

I have two cats. This is Betty . She's your typical girlie, dainty White and pink cat. With a streak of pure evil in her, but we love her. She has mellowed drastically in the last year and follows me around with a hopeful expression, not wanting a hug, oh no! Just me to sit so she can elegantly perch on me, she may deign to actually lie down sometimes or rather drape across me. But her real mission in life is to make sure we get to the toilet safely and in one piece. She has to escort you and will wait till your done and escort you back to where ever. Quite comforting at four in the morning

So here she is with her new best friend!

Tomorrows today!

Ain't technology amazing! I have just worked out how to blog from my phone!!! Next it'll be uploading photos!

I have spent most of my time in blogland Reading and lurking around other peoples blogs and I have to say having a whale of a time. Today had been a bit stressful due to a dodgy, leaky water heater!! So I'm having problems sleeping... Hence fiddling with my phone.

I started this blog with the veiw to record things that inspire me so I supose this comes firmly under that heading as now I can post blog entries as and when they occur to me!

Here's hoping I keep it up!

I think I may attempt to post a photo, something pretty..... Hmmmm let's see!


Ok this was snapped a few weeks ago on my way to the bank.. Isn't it pretty? and very unlikely.
But it raised my spirits and made me smile on a busy day.... What else can you ask for?
