A small victory

I went to Hempstead Valley, my previously favourite shopping mall with the flagship M&S, Wallis etc to get computer ink, a cup of coffee and lunch.  I walked past the clothes shops without looking and it was a bit sad.  However, I did manage to spend money on a few (non clothes) Christmas presents and a four piece red and white dinner set for the Big Day.  It felt quite decadent, even though not expensive.  Reminding me of when I first learned about the complete set of crockery exclusively for Pesach in Jewish homes, how extravagent!
