Hey Big Spender

Total purchases for the day:
One pair of Kamik wet weather/snow boots (kids size 5) as I am underprepared for winter
One pair of completely ridiculous and not-at-all needed calf length boots (also kids size 5)
One book by Patricia Cornwell on Jack the Ripper (my ex-dissertation topic)
One book by some random about a detective and their cat
One pair of speakers plus subwoofer for the laptop
One very nice burgundy top
Total cost of purchases = $120, or about £50. Flipping bargain!
