I finally made the decision today to buy myself a Wii Fit. Den had already offered to get me one, but I made the usualy excuses and thought of countless other things I needed to spend £69.00 on.
I called in to my friend and fellow blogger Gails house for a cup of coffee this morning, one we have promised to have with each other for months now. She has a Wii Fit and offered to show me the reasons why I SHOULD buy and forget about all the other stuff.
So after an hour or so of demonstrations, even down to a lesson in snow boarding by Gails 5 year old, I set my sights on buying one.
Off I toddled to ASDA after my coffee, joined the queue to get parked........had I missed something today, were ASDA selling everything half price or were they giving something away free? The place was busy. I finally got parked finding a space that had plenty of room either side of me because someone had actually parked right. My list in hand.....I had 5 items to buy no more no less.... I entered the store.
I made it to the pet food aisle....cat food YES, dog food, YES, cat litter, YES. Ok next aisle cleaning stuff....I manoeuvred past the gossips taking up most of the middle aisle and turned into where I needed to be, Fairy liquid, 3 for £2, Yes I'll have some of that.....and off I marched trying to steer the trolley that wanted to go only to the right, straight ahead. Spotting an empty checkout I pushed and steered and got there just in time for the girl to say "can you put the closed sign on there for me after your shopping" phew, as I scanned the rows of checkouts I realised I had got lucky. The queues were building up fast.
Packing my few items into my re-usable environmental friendly bag I headed towards the electrical department, I wasn't so lucky this time, the queue was massive. Never mind, on this occasion I was happy to stand and day dream about the afternoon I would spend getting fit and enjoying it.
It was not meant to be though. When it got to my turn, I asked for the Wii fit and the young lad behind the counter smiled at me in pity and said sorry we have sold out. I was gutted. making my way out of the store I decided to head down to Argos and try there, only to find the same, SOLD OUT !!!
If only I had taken up Den's offer last month, I would have been well on my way to being Wii fit.
And, to make matters worse, Ive already convinced myself that it was meant to be and have a list of all the stuff I need to buy!!
