My name is Montjoye and I'm a shoppaholic.
I am trying not to spend money at the moment-since this month's bills already have a television, a washing machine and my car rego in them. It's really hard to not go browsing in shops at lunch time when you work where I do. So today when I felt a real need to go look at stuff I decided that the Salvos was the destination for me because even if I bought something, it wouldn't be expensive. So look what leapt out and asked to be taken home:



You would never guess I hang out with Abbotsford. How cute is this little cauldon?   I'm sure it's meant to be ornamental. I plan to use it as my new coffee-table bin. As Erudito noted on Sunday, such a thing is most useful, for thread offcuts, chocolate wrappers and bones from dinner. This is rather more washable than the cardboard box I am using at the moment.

Now from this sweet classic double boiler, would you possibly conclude that I have been watching two fat ladies lately? Mmm there will be custard some time in my future. It even matches my regular saucepans really well.



Work is a bit stressy yet I probably only did about 1/4 of a day's work today. I was really sleepy until about 2pm. Now the sleepies have returned, bed soon. Must try to be more productive tomorrow. Chat on a challenging topic with the big boss hopefully. Still trying to figure out aspects of this job but this topic is one I am pushing from knowledge brought in from my old role. Hmm, how much will they let me work on this? an area that is not very broadly understood, complicated but needs fixing.

I had lots of things I thought of doing today. The one that won was to make a foray out to the January Sales! figured if I didn't go today I wouldn't get there at all. Partic if I want to get to bash tomorrow, which I think I do. So, as expected, this took pretty much all day and wore my feet to what feels like nubs. The extra pleasant bit was successfully pursuading J+D to come too. The not so good bit was a work emergency that required many phone calls and much stress interspersed throught the shopping.

( The haul ) I'm pretty happy with this lot. Except that sjkasabi  managed to buy the shoes that I have been desiring for months- lucky her. They didn't have my size when I looked, bother. Good job I like her and can enjoy her enjoying the shoes, we even take the same size!!

Don't think I should be allowed near shops again for a while except for groceries of course.

Now I vaguely want to socialise tonight but have set nothing up and am too tired just now to go anywhere. Never mind.
