Husbands everywhere need to read this story, of what a man will do so his wife  can have fashion!  Dave we salute you…

I was first in the queue at Brighton – my wife was going to go, but I told her not to as she is heavily pregnant, and probably queuing in the street all night is not the best thing for her, so I went alone.

Problem was that a) I don’t live in Brighton, and b) I don’t drive. Therefore I had to get the train, which got me to H&M Brighton on the stroke of midnight. I then sat alone (and cold) until 4am, when the second and third people in the queue turned up almost at the same time (and I was very grateful for the company by this point). Thereafter, the queue gradually grew…

It didn’t even get remotely busy until 6am, but having been there since midnight, I could no longer feel my feet by about 5am.

At about 8.30, the staff came out and issued the wristbands, and after that it was fairly easy to get what my wife had asked for (she’d circled the relevant pieces in grazia for me!). It was very crowded in the store itself and having been into the VIP section in the first cohort, it was then quite difficult to get out.

In the end though, I got exactly what my wife wanted, and she was very happy with it. I went completely without sleep on Friday, and still feel rubbish now (Monday), but I guess it was worth it.
