I went to the pop pixie princess's post-breast cancer comeback gig in Sydney. It was very poignant, but would still be considered by many a waste of money, as well as leading to questions about my dubious tastes. But what do I know? I'm the one that likes cream soda, after all.

Fortunatly, money's purpose is to be wasted, so it doesn't really matter, as long as you can afford it.

Actually I like cream soda too I just couldnt bring myself to waste the calories.

I have just realised I am at one of those crossroad moments in my life. I can go on buying more and more expensive clothes (and I have gotten to the stage where I regard a pair of Jimmy Choo boots at £500 as cheap) or I can stop.

It is a bit like leaving my husband or buying a house or paying of my mortgage.

I will buy the skirt and then stop;)

Out of interest, what are everyone else's music tastes? I like soul, jazz, latin and dance music. Like some pop if its good, rock if its not too heavy. Don't like: most country, most reggae, inane pop, Madonna (just because she's Madonna and charges too much for concerts).

Diet cream soda only has one calorie. But I should stop talking about cream soda or some will think its addiction.

Good luck with the skirt!

I like Leonard Cohen and umm Leonard Cohen.

I like country and no, I cant stand Madonna. I don't care what she charges she is just so yesterday

But would you look as good wearing them as wageslave would her skirt?

Well, I'd look better than I would in the skirt, and that's for sure!

I think if you can afford something and it will bring you the right amount of pleasure owning it, there's no harm in buying.

Again, I am not the one to advise because I rarely buy new if there's a realistic secondhand alternative. I get no pleasure at all from paying for new things.

I know it's stupid, when I've sat at the end of a phone, coolly taking £20k off the price of my property, just as if I was amending a free ad. However, I'm sure if I won the lottery I'd still go into the car shop and say, 'OK, what have you got here that's done a few thousand?'

I love Leonard Cohen songs but I'm not keen on Leonard Cohen the singer. I do like Jennifer Warne's 'Famous Blue Raincoat' album though. I've had it over 20 years and still listen to it all the time. I love Famous Blue Raincoat (the track), it has such pathos. Have you heard it?
