With my mums birthday and Christmas
coming up, I thought it would be nice to take Tilly into town after
school to do a bit of shopping. So I picked her up from school and
headed into town while explaining what our plan was discussing what
we wanted to buy mum. I had already brought mum some gifts online
however I thought it would be nice if Tilly was able to choose
something to give to mum.
When we reached the town we headed to
Poundland where I brought Tilly an umbrella (as it had started to
rain and she was moaning) and myself some new lights for my bike.
Then we headed to our local charity
shops as I an a fan of the charity shop and believe that you can find
a good bargain. Tilly headed straight to the children's section as
usual and I had to remind her that we where here for mum and not for
toys! We then both spotted a big Rainbow the Dog cuddly toy in the
tub of teddy bears. When me and Tilly went to Butlins Tilly fell in
love with Rainbow and brought a small cuddly toy of him. As this one
was only £1.99, and I knew how much they were at Butlins, I told
Tilly she could have this big one as well. She was a very happy
little girl!
After we had looked in all the charity
shops I realised we had spent an hour shopping, had brought things
for us but nothing for mum! So I decided we really needed to focus on
our aim of the shopping trip which was mums birthday! We headed into
some other shops and Tilly found another cuddly toy she wanted, I
reminded her who we were buying for to which she replied “but its
cute and it says I love you and I do love mum”. Who can argue with
that logic so I let her buy the cuddly toy with the promise that it
was to give mum.
We then went into another shop that
sold home ware. After persuading Tilly that mum doesn't need a new
duvet or a new pair of oven gloves we settled on some wooden
ornaments that hang around the house. These were cheap and a little
on the naff side but at least Tilly could say she chose them.
With our mission complete we started to
head home. This is when the heavens opened and it started to pour it
down. We got home as soon as we could but Tilly decided she didn't
want to use her umbrella anymore as she wanted to be wet. So by the
time we got home she was absolutely soaked. I quickly got her out of
her wet clothes but because we were at my house I didn't have any of
her clothes there. So she had to walk around in one of my tops that
was miles too big while hers dried on the radiator. Luckily they
dried in time for when mum collected her!
Overall our little shopping trip was a
success and now we just need wrap everything up and we will be ready
for mums birthday.
