Hectic Shopping Trip!!!

oh. my. god. 
never go shopping with family... 

honestly! basically, we went shopping for funeral clothing today. my brothers needed a suit, and me and my mum needed some shoes. We started off in Primark, looking for the basics (all i wanted was a pair of black shoes with a small heel) but to no luck.. 
We headed back to the car park, which requires the use of a lift to get there... so ofcourse my dad found it hilarious, to after the lift had let us out, to hit all the buttons he could  so the lift would go crazy .. (he's a strange one)
so anyway we went to this random shop in the dead part of town, looking for shoes. My dad left me and my mum to look whilst he went upstairs with my brothers. it took me a few minutes to find a nice pair that me and my mum agreed on where nice and suitable. The dress i am wearing is pretty long, it goes down to my knees, and so a small heel was needed to stop me from looking any more like an umpa lumpa.
                                               It looks nicer on...

But no, my dad wasn't having any of it, saying the heel was ''inapropriatte'' and so after 10 more minutes of faffing about and being yelled at by my teenage brothers to ''hurry up'' .. i quickly grabbed the first pair of flat shoes i could find and handed them to my dad, who deemed them suitable for the occasion. Great. 




Next stop - Blazers, shirts and pants.
we ended up at matalan. Mainly for the shirts and pants. (my dad had bought 3 ties previously) my little brother however, being the dwarf he is, cant find pants that fit his waist and leg length together so it was absolute mayhem finding him some thing that fitted! in the end i think we gave up, and he decided to use his school pants (black pants) as we werent in luck. my big brother is slim and tall, and finding him a pair wasnt too bad. i dont really know what happened after that, because my mum wasnt in a very good mood, as she finds it hard to find shoes that fit, and therefore hadnt yet bought any shoes for herself. I went down to show my brothers the blazers, and came back to my mum only to find both my parents mid argument, swearing and all sorts!
Well... you could imagine my embarassment...
married couples, eh? ;) 

seriously... you do not want to come shopping with my family...
In the end after visting another shop, we finally got everything we needed and headed up to KFC to end a successful shopping trip. 
I'll leave you with photographic evidence of what i like to call ... ''a meal well enjoyed''
