On the 28th of May I headed to Sheffield to see Lolly because we had a date at Costco planned! She is a member and I really wanted to go, so we set it up. I set off to Laura's about 10.45 and went in when I got there. Franklin was off because it was half term, and Gary had just come in too, so it was nice to see both of them. Lolly and Franklin and I set off to Costco together. It was busy! I guess because the kids were off.
I was determined to not buy too much rubbish, but I did also want a blender if there was one. I got one for £30! I also got some rice crackers, wine gums, cat food, a Victoria sponge, some San Pellegrino, and some mango lassi. The cat food wasn't much cheaper than it usually is, but at least we've got a stock of it now. Everything else was cheaper.
Laura ordered a cheese pizza and a mango smoothie each, and we put everything in the car while the pizza was cooking. Then we headed back to Laura's to eat. The pizza was nice - warm and cheesy and delicious. The smoothie was nice too! We then split the two cakes we had bought so we had half each of chocolate fudge and Victoria sponge, and split some cookies we bought too. Over twenty years ago my dad had a Costco card and we used to buy the fudge cakes and slice them up and freeze them, and when you microwave them from the freezer they're all melted and delicious. We also used to buy cases of fizzy pop which I would take to college. I would have bought some, but they didn't have any caffeine free Pepsi or Coke. But I came in under £90 which was good to be honest!
I sat chatting to Laura for a bit but before I left I got her to take a photo of my dress. I picked it up at the clothes swap in Manchester a couple of weeks previously. It had a label on it that said handmade and I really liked it. I wasn't sure it would fit, but tried it on over the dress I was wearing and it seemed to be fine. I thought it might be a bit low on the neckline, in which case I would have worn a cami underneath it, but it actually isn't.
It is a gorgeous swishy fabric, with a really cute little pattern. It has pockets! It is also a really good length on me and I will wear it without tights over the summer too. I can't believe someone was giving it away but I really love it and am so glad I picked it up!
