Lost!

by Sophie - 8 December 2006

I’ve been going to one particular supermarket lately (since it’s the closest) and it’s part of one of those big supermarket chains. As expected I always wheel to the supermarket and threading through the big crowds there generally isn’t a problem. I had to go to my parents house last weekend as my 21st is coming up this weekend and we had to do some preparation.
