Olay Olay

It started out as

Meremail - My shoes at work have broken so I need some new ones

Mrs Mail - The sales are still on and I need a few things so let's go Sunday

 

Sunday in the city

Mrs Mail - The discount pharmacy has a discount on Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Super Cream, which I use to keep looking younger for you.

Meremail - No problem (thinks - wonder what she would look like if she hadn't been using it all these years, but then if it didn't work, it would be too late to correct)

Mrs Mail - (comes out of shop and looks at the receipt and) says "Wow, I saved $112"

Meremail - What a clever marketing trick to show on the receipt how much you saved.

 

Later at the department store, shoes, socks and jocks section

Mrs Mail - What colour socks do you want?

Meremail - I don't care, you don't see them

Mrs Mail - Yes you do

Meremail - Only a little bit, but who cares, they're just socks.

Mrs Mail - You need brown ones too, because you have a pair of brown trousers

Meremail - I don't care, just grab some

Mrs Mail - Do you like these?

Meremail - I don't care

Mrs Mail - You need some more sports socks too

Meremail - I have enough

Mrs Mail - I will get you some coloured ones to match your fancy Nikes

Meremail - Ok

 

Kitchen section

Mrs Mail - We need a new frying pan.

Meremail - We have one.

Mrs Mail - It is looking a bit tatty, so we need a new one while they are discounted

Meremail - Of course we do

Mrs Mail - I want one of those Norwegan silverstone ones like we bought Rumblemumbles

Meremail - (looks at the price tag and sees that it costs 1/3 the price of a seriously good P&S camera) Doesn't the one we have work well, I used it this week?

. . . . shop assistant hangs on to frypan at the till while . . .

Mrs Mail - We need new bathroom scales

Meremail - We have scales

Mrs Mail - They are going a bit horrible, after all we bought them when we got married and the dial shows in stones and pounds instead of kilograms

Meremail - I am the same weight as when we got married

Mrs Mail - I want some modern ones

Meremail - Here is one that tells you how much body fat you have, let's get that one

 

Linen/Bedding section

Mrs Mail - I want to get sets of replacement towels and sheets while they are discounted.

Meremail - I will sit here and wait with all these bags, while you do the rounds.

Mrs Mail - There's no where to sit

Meremail - (Standing next to beautifully made and pillowed display bed) Really ! (as I plop down on the side of the bed and put packages on the floor)

 

5 minutes later a family arrives behind me to check out the bed, so I get up and do a couple of quick hand gestures to smooth out the bed. 'Mum' says "no sit down please". Meremail says "That's the first time I have ever made a bed"

 

Mrs Mail - (returns 10-15 minutes later struggling to carry more packages) Have we got everything?

Meremail - Shoes?

Mrs Mail - Ah yes, nearly forgot.

 

I love shopping.

I wonder if I used that micro-sculpting cream if I would be like a 20yo again so I can carry all these bags to the car.
