I seem to be materially-minded

I was smiled upon today - at one of my favorite opshops, I found a Folio edition of Rumpole for five bucks. No slipcase, and no other similar books, but I'm not knocking back a Folio!

As it happened, I didn't have five dollars on me, so I had to sweat off the the shopping centre and get some money out, ten packets of Special-K and a couple of audio books from the library.

By the time I got back, the book was still there. Whew! I'm surprised it hadn't been spotted within moments of it hitting the shelf.

Probably worth (say) $25, but it's the thrill of finding a bargain that lights up my eyes.

The Special-K is for the competition. I'm pursuing an optimum course to get as many entries in as possible before they start drawing prizes. One prize a day for 50 days and all entries stay in the pool. Mind you, I've got dozens of packets of cereal to get through in the year before their shelf-life expires.

Audio books for the trip up to Sydney to see the A380 arrive on Sunday.

You are coming to Sydney??? Bring the spares from Sat, and I can take them to River Island

Can you make Rice Krispies Squares with Special K? It'd be one way to get rid of some of it fast! :)

and should be ok since special K and cornflakes aren't too different
