I got on some big exercise machine in John Lewis
There I was in my jacket and shoulder bag, with riding boots on, striding away, giggling like a mong.
Then djtp came over, pointed at the 'do not attempt to use the equipment' sign, helped me off the machine, and promptly facepalmed.

This is not as bad as the fact that me and my mum have played with John Lewis's display model of Butterscotch the animatronic pony so many times that they remove the batteries when we're in the store.

My mum is fuming about it
"Do they know how much I spend here? What if I'm trying before I buy?"
"Mum, you've been 'trying' for 18 months now."

OMG OMG OMG
That horse scared the shit out of me! I stroked its mane as I walked past and it fucking turned and looked at me. It scared me so I flicked it on the nose and it reared its head and snorted at me!

FO SERIOUS.

Also, have you played with the parrot hand puppet that they have nearby?
It makes the best squeak noise ever, it's exactly like the bird from UP!

I haven't even GOT to the labrador yet.
