Oh yay! Luckily I made breakfast and did my washing already. Will have to aimlessly wander around in shops again this morning.

You're lucky, cresta centre was in darkness yesterday, even WW was closed. Clearwater must've had record sales.

Whispers to ladies: shops in clearwater are open till 7 on Saturdays
