How to test will power

[LilyMay73]

I am currently having a test of will power. My 13 has dragged me to the biggest primark in history and my temper has abandoned me!! Dear god if I can survive this without smoking I can do ANYTHING!!!

I feel your pain! At least it's primark and not somewhere a little more expensive! Last time I took all 3 of my cherubs there I nearly died of shame. My daughter was shopping up stairs, the boys were looking for gifts down stairs. When we came down the escalator I saw the youngest walk up to the display model and shake it's hand - which came off in his hand, then big brother whilst trying not to pee himself laughing tried to put it back on, by the time we were at the bottom of the escelator the arm was hanging off and the youngest was near ending himself laughing whilst looking terrified at my arrival. Big brother gave it one last shove and turned as if nothing had happened. Needless to say their shopping was abandoned as we all made a sharp exit!

Thankfully we don't go there often.

My other half took them shopping the following weekend and couldn't understand why they avoided primark

Oh that's so funny!!!! My poor girl is so much more into shopping than me and was probably very embarrassed of me

[droopyJ in reply to Danslatete]

LMAO...... that is the funniest thing I have heard since I asked a policeman at Madame Tussaurds where the toilets were only to discover he was made outta wax......!!! Everyone around me thought it was hysterical (I didn't....) mind you I was only 8

I detest Primark with a passion...... its the only shop I know where people think its ok to throw stuff on the floor.. grrrrrr

[LilyMay73 LONG TERM WINNER]

My word I survived by a gnats whisker!!! For those who know me you've probably realised I'm a bit of a hippy, free love and peace kind of gal but WOW, a big primark can push the buttons of the most saintly person. my temper had gone and I'm ashamed to say I actually used profane language at a (loose term) lady who tried to 'accidentally' push in front of me in the queue!! Honestly it turns the sanest person onto a screaming banshee who could easily be an extra in Withnail and I (booze, I demand booze, for those not in the know.) However, trauma averted and I'm still smoke free although the hubby who instigated the excursion owes me big time!!!

[droopyJ in reply to LilyMay73]

Well done LilyMay and yep hubby most definitely owes you a massive one

[yellowsnowdrop]

I just won't go to Primark here in Newcastle just brings out the worst in me every time.Managed a trip to our local outlet centre as hubby was urging me to buy shoes/sandals for the summer in the sales but just couldn't be bothered to try anything on.He says I'm the only woman he's ever known that didn't get excited over shoes!!!!! Maybe it's just me.I get excited over Weetabix cake at the moment & that's it. (Slimming World recipe & as close as I get to cake at the moment!!)

[LilyMay73 LONG TERM WINNER in reply to yellowsnowdrop]

I don't get excited over shoes either, I only own one pair of shoes and two pairs of boots and replace them when the soles fall off I just can't abide rudeness and lack of manners. It appears that shoppers lose there ability to say please, thank you, excuse me and sorry!

I'm just about to join slimming world as I've heard great things and I've put on a staggering 5 stones since I quit the habit!!!! I'll be tapping you for hints and tips x

[yellowsnowdrop]
