Oh lord I googled MY EYES
Would you believe it’s more organised than the shop? I have a hard time spending more than a couple of minutes looking at their website before giving up in a moment of rage. The angry blinking clip art is the icing on the cake.
Arghh.
Oh FabricLand, I want to purchase your wares but you make it so bloody difficult.
The website’s a Geocities-esque horror, the physical shop an absolute nightmare. It’s making me turn to Ditto, who charge at least £5 extra for very similar fabric.

Which (slightly tacky kitsch) fabric shall I make into a circle skirt? I need s a project of sorts to do this weekend, and circle skirts are within my ability. And I owe the shop (Ditto) a favour, since they were bloody lovely to me when I was 15 and had tonsillitis, and ended up having to sit in their backroom for a while because I was utterly and completely out of it.

I love sales.
Even if all I’ve bought is:
Underwear that highlights quite how flat chested I am;
A top that I love, though the colour goes with almost nothing I own;

I’m happy, though I can’t say the same for my bank balance.
(What can I say, I’m a sucker for...
