I popped along to La Boqueria this morning to get my pick of the market's unrivalled wild mushroom selection. I thought I might get some duck eggs, too.

I'm back several hours later with three dressy tops and a tartan scarf for my upcoming business trip to Edinburgh, make-up and a secondhand books haul of Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt, War and Peace and The Catalans by Patrick O'Brian. Thriftiness: I need to learn it. *Snuggles materialism*

Thriftiness?

What's that? I don't know that I've ever heard that word. LOL

Thriftiness? As in being thrifty? I don't think it's an Anglicism, but I may be wrong...? http://mw1.m-w.com/dictionary/thriftiness

Ah, well. I still need to learn it. :p

I know what you mean. I leave the house for three things and come back loaded down with bags like its Christmastime. I'm with you on snuggling materalism.

Actually, I do my best to be thrifty without being stingy the majority of the time so when I do have those moments, I feel little guilt about them. At least you'll get great use out of all your purchases.

Yeah, true. And I *did* need some nice clothes for the trip, so... yay?

Sometimes a girl just needs some retail therapy, don't you think?

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

OMG, yes. Retail therapy has saved many lives on many days, mine included. Viva la shopping!

I hope you enjoy Edinburgh. I'll wave as you shoot up England on the train!

By the way, I am just in receipt of 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman. Reviews praise it as the best thing he's written. I'll read it over half-term holiday. Have you heard of it?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

I've heard of it, but not read it. DO let me know if it's any good and I'll give it a try. (I adored Night Watch, by the way...)

LOL @ wearing tartan in Scotland. Dork. :P

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Oi! It's the new fashion out this winter, bb. The shops are covered in tartan skirts and shizz. (I do not think I can pull off a tartan skirt.)

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Yep, in November. I'll be there for a week. If you fancy meeting up at all, let me know. >:D

[airiddh1.livejournal.com]

sounds like a plan! When are you here?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Last week in November - 23rd to 28th. I'll be there from 7pm on the Sunday. I'm working throughout the week, but of course am free after like 5pm each day. Do let me know! It'd be awesome and we could do some DECORATION SHOPPING!!!!1

*Excited because no decorations or anything out here until mid-December* :p

[airiddh1.livejournal.com]

All the Christmas markets will be on in Edinburgh by then - and the ice rink! Its totally GORGEOUS at Christmas!!!
