    My leggings have arrived!  Very quick.  They are lovely!  Very comfortable and fit well.  I'm very pleased with them so still frivolous but not a waste.

    I've just spent £1.99 on an audiobook of The Planets which was the deal of the day.  

    To contrast with my spending, my library has just changed their e-book and audio book provider and there is much more choice on there now.  I've managed to borrow the last few in the Sue Grafton alphabet series that I was reading a while back so I can now remove those from my wishlist :)  I'm very pleased as I really enjoyed the series, but didn't have the last few.

    I love the patterns and they are very comfy.  I'm not going to order anything else for me right now, but will get little miss some of the Lucy ones for her birthday or Christmas.
     Happy Birthday for next week.  You'll have to get someone to treat you :)

    Glad I've helped :)  I get inspiration from things people post on here too, it's so useful.  I particularly like hearing about good websites that aren't the usual giants.
