The Sales

[inulro]

I made my first attempt at the sales today. There were too many people, and nothing I'm desperate to buy (except for the rather cool skirt in Wallis for £5 which I braved the queue for), so I'll wait for a couple weeks till the tail end of the sales. Such is the advantage of working in the city centre.

I spent my Waterstones vouchers (on Monday Waterstones was the busiest store in town, today it's the quietest) on _Spain's Road to Empire_, which I had decided was required reading as soon as it came out.

The most depressing thing I saw was _The Little Friend_ has been reduced to £4.99 in hardback. I have already read it, so I suppose I shouldn't complain (I'd be upset if I'd bought it full price and it was still on the "to read" shelf).

I didn't get any vouchers or money for Christmas, so I have no need to do the sales.
Plus, I hate dealing with crowds in those circumstances.
The most we did was Tesco since food other than turkey was needed, and it was no more crowded than a normal time when we usually shop.

May I still borrow the book you said you had?
I have 4 books I am reading/to read, but would love to read that one as well.

Absolutely! You're free to come over and use my place as a library any time.

Just a random comment, from someone who was at the engagement party last night - though reading your profile I get the distinct impression I've met you before - at a party in Brighton...

Highly unlikely - I've only been to brighton once and it didn't involve a party!
