I am SO miserable!!!!!!!!!

We finally went to lay-by my boots yesterday—and there weren’t any in my size! I almost cried when the lady told us. I tried on a smaller size but hadn’t even started to do up the laces and they were hurting like crazy. The lady said, “Well, they have been popular.” That didn’t help at all. I was sitting there with my big Island feet, feeling like an ugly sister from Cinderella, and that’s all she could say. Mum asked if any of their other stores might have my size, and the lady said she would phone around and see, but she couldn’t promise anything and we might have to pay extra to get them there.

WHAT? Obviously she doesn’t know I’m paying for these with my own milk-run money. Actually, she wouldn’t know that because Mum was doing the lay-by in her name. Oh well, I won’t know until next week. Bummer. I went into Woolworth’s and got some pick-n-mix lollies. I know I shouldn’t have spent any money but I don’t think I’ll need it for my boots now. I spent too much and the pick-n-mix cost $1.13.

There was tons of ironing to do when we got home, and even the Disney movie was stink tonight.

I hope I can get my boots. Please, please, please! Fingers and toes crossed.

I forgot it’s school holidays now. At least I can sleep in tomorrow.
