Melody's POV

Aghh you stupid washing machine why won't you work? I thought while kicking it and giving it a good hard shake! 

Can this day get any worse!  I have spent half the day trying to find pairs to my soaks but the stupid elef's must have ran off with them.

That's the only good explanation. Then I came up here to find out that my ancient washing machine has stopped working.

So here I am stuck with dirty clothes and odd soaks making me realising that going clothes shopping once every few years isn't a good idea when I'm left with little to know clothes.

I just hate clothes shopping, I always end up being depressed about my body. Like when clothes say one size fits all. One size fits all my left ass cheek.

After giving the washing machine one last good shake I shrugged in defeat. Looks like I'm going clothes shopping.

The mall is to far to walk to and I don't really like catching the bus, but there is a few Op shops around that I can go to that's on my street.

Deciding that's the best option I put my shoes on odd soaks and all. Calling Hoover over I out the lead on him grab my bag and headed towards the shops.

Stopping outside the first Op shop I saw that looked promising I tied hoover under the tree and told him I wouldn't be long.

Saying a quick hello to the lady at the counter I started strolling through the racks of clothes. I kind of love Op shops especially there books but I won't have time for that today.

It didn't take me long to find some every day clothes but that's when I saw something that spoke to my quirky side.

It is absolutely beautiful I never thought I would see a dress like this. It's print is made of old comics from the nineteen fiftys.

I would never whear it out and about because I don't have the confidence for that but it is really pretty to look at. So I grabbed it because I couldn't bring myself to put it back on the shelf.

Hoover has been outside waiting for me long enough so I strolled back towards the counter while putting my clothes on top.

"Oh this is a lovely dress it reminds me of what I use to wear when I was younger."

"It really is I love quirky things like this."

"So do I; If I see any other quirky things I'll by hold them for you"

"Thank you so much I would love that."

For the first time today I smiled. I paid for my things and made my way back out to Hoover who was waiting patiently for me but when he saw me he didn't stop barking excitedly.

The first thing I am going to do when is have a shower, and then give Hoover a bath since he hasn't had one in awhile.

Skipping up the stairs I got  undressed and took a shower a very long shower. I love showers sometimes there one of the most relaxing things to happen in my day.

Once I was out and dressed I slapped my hand on my forehead I should have gave Hoover a bath first. Running the water anyway I decided to give him one any way.

"Hoover here boy!Bath time." I called out to him. He came running and jumped in to my arms. Who's a good boy I coo.

Giving him a quick wash and dry I started making my way back down stairs when I slipped. Once I hit the bottom of the stairs I couldn't stop the cry of shock. I don't know how long I have been laying here winded.
