D'oh

I'm not having a lot of clothes-related luck.

Point #1 - DH and I went shopping for a nice new winter coat for him. We went all over Harrogate to the major stores hoping to find a nice wool coat. Our first stop was the Gap, where we had bought his current coat several years ago. They had one possible option, and it wasn't bad. 3/4 length and 70% wool 30% manmade. The problem was it was a quite a bit thinner/lighterweight than his current coat, quite a bit more expensive, and it just might not have been warm enough. We went to some other "English" shops, figuring that there are so damn many sheep around, there must be plenty of wool coats. Boy, were we wrong. At one of the more recognizable Brit stores - Marks & Spencer - we looked at coats labeled "Wool Rich Blend". What a total joke - "wool rich" meant only 5% wool! Total and utter crap.

Point #2 - Continuing with the whole "wool" theme, I bought a nice lambswool cream-colored hoodie from LLBean before leaving for the UK. Today, I thoughtlessly threw it in the wash, and lo and behold, shrank it such that it would only fit a barbie. Dammit. My own fault for not paying attention.

Point #3 - Continuing with the whole "wash" theme, I went ahead and washed all my bras today. Hanging them up to dry, I realized that I had washed ALL my bras, and there was no way one would be dry to wear to Quiz Night at our local pub tonight. Just great!

At least that's three things... so now I should be safe.
