Spending Spree

I went into town today, a couple of specific purchases which I couldn't find elsewhere. I wanted to buy something nice to wear when I go to see Hugh Laurie, and I don't really have anything apart from work stuff. Given that A, my friend from work who's coming with me, is tall and thin and slinky and looks fantastic in absolutely anything, I need something a bit good. I went to Debenhams, spent my Christmas giftcard and another £75 on a Betty Jackson Black maxi-dress and a layered top. More than I'd usually think of spending, but better quality than the cheaper stuff I tried on. Now I need to find some black low-heeled sandals and a silver necklace to wear with the dress. I also went to M&S and bought a Paddington Bear for Bean for Easter, as no-one had any nice chicks or bunnies - only scruffy sad-looking bunnies or sinister-beaked chicks.

Mum & Dad are watching Mamma Mia right now, it's on ITV - Dad's quite enjoying it, given that last year he had a big rant about its existence, saying why don't people just listen to an ABBA CD instead. I think it helps that Julie Walters is in the film. Speaking of whom, I'm working through my new DVDs and have currently arrived at Wood & Walters, which is fun, a bit of a strange experience sometimes as it's thirty years old, so some of the references and styles require a bit of casting one's mind back.

Now I have a Cadburys Easter Egg shell. Sainsburys are selling milk chocolate Cadburys shells, just foil, no fancy boxes or additionals, for £1 each. Delish.
