The Photo Gallery: Back to school

by RosieS on September 5, 2012

I lost my little companion this week as she went back to school.

The house felt strangely quiet without her.

So I did the most sensible thing under the circumstances.

I went shopping.

Shopping bags

That feels a whole lot better.

This week’s gallery theme is: Back to school.

Did you add any chocolate into that self soothing mix?!

Without doubt there was chocolate! It would be in the shot but I ate it all!

Lol – first day of 3 being back for me and I’m off to Topshop! Great minds…

It’s the most logical thing to do, Kate!

Excellent, what fun! Can’t go shopping every day though :-)

Probably just as well. I need to find a cheaper self-soothing pastime!

I’m glad it helped. I’m planning on a long childless dog walk myself.

Long childless dog walks are so much better for the bank balance! Enjoy it!

What a brilliant way to keep buying. I hope there was cake and coffee too!

Momma Mojo September 5, 2012 at 11:02 am

busy – not buying*

RosieS September 5, 2012 at 6:35 pm

Buying is a much nicer word than busy!

The kids went back today so I had to return to work (the same school) otherwise I would have done the same :)

RosieS September 5, 2012 at 6:36 pm

Oh no. Hope you get some back to school treats at the weekend instead. :)
