There have been one or two advantages to my occasional attempts at tidying the back room, namely the uncovering of long lost gift vouchers. The recent haul has been £15 worth of HMV vouchers and a further £17 for WH Smiths, not bad really. This did of course lead to another pocket, hole, burning situation which could only be remedied by a trip into Town.
Gill was heading in early to meet up with her friend Jacqui so I tagged along for the bus journey and we went our own separate ways once there. I’m something of a creature of habit and so hit the same shops I always do, in the same order. This is a route that has been honed over the years to allow the greatest potential return for my spending and I can’t see it changing any time soon. Once again it proved fruitful and, by the time I had met with Bill, my brother Graeme and a friend-free Gill a couple of hours later, I had a very good idea of how much was going to be spent and where.
In the end my return for the days wandering was: a John Hughes DVD box set including The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science; the Rush R30 DVD special edition with a multitude of extras; and 3 CD’s, Styx’s Cyclorama, Bon Jovi’s This Left Feels Right (for Gill) and a double compilation of NWOBHM by Neat Records artists. I have to say I am very pleased with the results and look forward to giving them all a spin, well all apart from Bon Jovi. Not bad for a rummage behind the sofa, so to speak.
