Charity Shopper Stopper

On the second day of arriving in Edinburgh, we decided to go out for a team lunch at a lovely pub around the corner from the apartment. When we left it was beautiful sunshine, we all didnt bother taking out jackets and were all wearing sunglasses. When we left the pub....it was chucking buckets. 

So what to do when it is raining cats and dogs? Go charity shopping of course. Myself and Bedside have a massive addiction to charity shops so when we spotted 10 on the opposite side of the road, we rushed over to the cash point to get out money. Getting absolutely drenched on the way I might add. 

I was instructed to find some "adult clothes" for Little Leaf so was trawling through looking for a lovely dress for her when I get dragged over by one of the boys to be pointed out a gorgeous jumpsuit (who knew, men have such amazing fashion sense!!) so item number one was bought. The next shop we go. 

This time I head straight over to the men's jackets where Tophalf and Bedside were trying on beautiful suits. I am welcomed to a sea of "do you like this one?" and "which one is better?" so I put my designer hat on (not that it ever really comes off) and got picking out my favourite suit jackets....Only to be pulled from one shop into another by Magic. "I have found the PERFECT shoes for you" Intrigued, I follow him to find a gorgeous pair of office brogues at just £7. Low and behold they are the perfect fit so I went up to the counter with them, massive grin on face to find that, actually, I can get them for £5. Oh the beauties of being a chatty girl with a male shop assistant. To the next shop we go.  

Little Leaf and I head straight for the skirts and find some really classy, floral prints, so I wait outside whilst she tries them all on. We finally decided on a little peach one when Magic comes  into said shop and drags me out again. "Look what I found" For those of you know don't know me, I shall tell you now, I love Berol pens. They are beautiful and slightly felt-tip like, but thin enough to write with, they are basically my ideal pen. Moments before I had been saying how you just dont find them anymore but upon being dragged into another shop I am shown 3 Berol pens. Good find Magic Man!! I go back into the shop where I left Little Leaf to find her paying and we head into the next shop..... And see that everyone has disappeared. At this point of the trip, I had NO idea where on earth we were so prayed we were walking in the right direction to find all the boys trying on mustaches in a joke shop. Never a dull day in TheatreLand!!
