I even like some of the German brands. In any case, I'm too fat now to shop for anything. So now I just buy er furniture.<BR/><BR/>I've answered you in my blog about the email. Could you please ask the Dutchess for it as I do not want to publish it in my blog and like mine yours allows instant publishing of comments. Chat with you soon, I hope!Beau Lotus 涟https://www.blogger.com/profile/07357356510646043072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235244158483718.post-18369847418519332892008-04-10T04:16:00.000+08:002008-04-10T04:16:00.000+08:00For the first 3 years, I always had to rely on som...For the first 3 years, I always had to rely on someone else to ferry me around. Being the independent person that I am, it was extremely frustrating. So now it feels really liberating.<BR/><BR/>I just bought new summer clothes for the Girl, arts & crafts stuff to keep her busy during the long vacation, new dishes, table cloth... nothing for myself tho. I know France being a fashion centre & all but I have a hard time finding clothes I like. Maybe it'll be different in the big cities or maybe I'm just more biased towards Italian designers.petite fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309182255968209795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235244158483718.post-52609449598782860762008-04-08T18:04:00.000+08:002008-04-08T18:04:00.000+08:00Dutchess, stubborn you are alright :-).Me I don't ...Dutchess, stubborn you are alright :-).<BR/><BR/>Me I don't cut off my nose to spite my face, I'm the KS girl, got my license in Singapore ages ago though I had no money to own a car nor would need to drive - just in case.<BR/><BR/>And thank God I could drive since without a car the kids wouldn't be able to go to school and I wouldn't be able to shop for food. Still, I try not to drive when it's dark as I'm very cocked eye and I do not have a fast reaction. To me, driving is a necessary evil. And you wouldn't catch me doing it in cities like Paris. That would be suicide.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, Petite Fleur, what did you buy in Avignon? Lovely city, have been there twice. Not done any shopping there though.Beau Lotus 涟https://www.blogger.com/profile/07357356510646043072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235244158483718.post-24521927151510162172008-04-07T04:11:00.000+08:002008-04-07T04:11:00.000+08:00When I first arrived, I thought I could get around...When I first arrived, I thought I could get around by foot, bike or scooter (I have a Vespa which is hardly used). But we live in a little village where buses are infrequent & do not go to where I need. Becos we're in the mountains, I'll admit that I'm just not fit enough to bike it here. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I do shop online too. We have to share our favorite online sites.petite fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309182255968209795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235244158483718.post-35972329879269551372008-04-05T12:02:00.000+08:002008-04-05T12:02:00.000+08:00I've lived in Europe for 5 years and still stubbor...I've lived in Europe for 5 years and still stubbornly refuse to get a driver's license. We live in a small town and I run all my errands on foot or bike. If I ask really nicely, Hubs takes me on Saturdays for the big grocery shopping in a nearby mall. I get my shopping fix in Maastricht (a big city) via the bus. Everything else is done online. :P<BR/><BR/>And yes, I can now view blogs hosted by Blogger. Nice blog you have here. I have already bookmarked you.Dutchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171276081484270860noreply@blogger.com
