OK!!! So I am, sat here waiting for my daughter in the shopping centre @traffordcentre
So I decided to try and invent some games to play and keep myself occupied.

Spot the Selfridges Bags
Give yourself 3 minutes to see how many Selfridges bags you can see. I counted 12 bags in 3 minutes. Obviously you can choose which ever bag you prefer... Maybe you could see how many white shoes you can spot!! Give it a go!
Catch a Pickpocket
As you're walking choose a shop or if you prefer, walk-in a shop. Large department stores are best. Now see how long it takes you to spot the first pickpocket... it's amazing at how easy it is for people to put things in a handbag or pocket without being caught. Only thing is with this game is,!!! the moral dilemma #doitell or It's up to you.
I Spy
How often do you see posters, in shop windows and you take no notice. Why not spend some time reading a few.
In the past I have found some interesting and useful images and information which I have put to use on my return home.
I have in the past found information on joining a choir... Which I went on to join, activities for my daughter, night outs and the odd picture which I found interesting.
My favourite is writing do Internet links, and whilst waiting surf the net looking at the new sites which I otherwise would not have seen.
Not long ago I found a very useful life coaching poster, which I promptly made use of, by joining up for a FREE 2 day life coaching course.
So give it a go... Who knows what you will find!!
Say Hello
So this activity does not suit everyone. It will take you out of your comfort zone, and push boundaries.
Rather than sitting alone on tapping away on your phone, try some good old fashion spontaneous conversation with a total stranger.
My mum is ace at this one-she talks to "anyone". The nice part is seeing her laughing with a stranger who she has only just met. Sometimes I find myself saying.... "why would they tell you that?".
Try it, it's one of the more scary things you can do, but ever so interested. Who knows who you might meet!!! In the past, I have met novelist, GP's, retired professionals, people who have lost their jobs, homes. I have happy people, sad people and people who have no one.
Thoughts of Fashion
I just love to people watch... Call it weird, but it's amazing how as humans we can make assumptions on a person's personality, lifestyle, carer on the clothes they wear.
So this game is all about changing it up....
Look around you and see what people are wearing.
There is so much ideas on the highstreet.
I will usually look for someone my height and body frame, and see what they are wearing. If it looks good next time I shop I will try something simular on, whether it be a pair of high waisted jeans, a crop leather jacket.
Give it a go and see why your style senses leads you.
