    I went to Abakahan and got lots of goodies :) Browsing in crafty/fabric shops always cheers me up and this was no exception.

    It was a fab shopping trip actually - got an amazing Edinburgh Woollen Mills pleated skirt/kilt in shades of brown and taupe and cream and a Tulchan jumper from the Red Cross charity shop and then went to Debenhams to use that free £5 voucher. I found some fab Jasper Conran over the knee grey cableknit cashmere socks and they scanned through the till at £2!! For cashmere socks!!! Am v. pleased.

    Today i'm so frustrated, i took a day off so i could come spend some time with a friedn as she has the week off as well, and she text me this morning to say she's got too much to do at home :( We had made plans for dinner last night and she was too tired for that in the end.
    Super glad i wasted the time off, am now sitting around on my own wishing i was at work :(
    Think il pop out for a wander round the charity shops.
