Louise’s watch finally gave up the ghost last night, so we thought we MUST be able to find one in Wellington.

Before we parked up, we picked up a couple more $5 parking coupon vouchers. If you park in the middle of the city (not coupon parking), then it costs $4 per hour and most road parking places have a limit of 2 hours.

We called in to a sub-level shopping centre at 1 Willis St for a coffee and poached eggs on toast. It was going well, the coffee had arrived and was lovely, until the staff came out to say there was no brown bread left, tsk tsk LOL! We told them that white was fine and the breakfast turned up a couple of minutes later and was pretty good.

We picked up a cordless phone at JB Electronics for just $25 – might make life a little easier when chatting to people out on the deck. We also found a wargames shop in the arcade, not a bad stock range really and not too much of a price difference! Some really excellent scenery for RPG and wargames in general.

As we were “passing”, we had to go back to Kirkcaldy & Staines to check out the Christmas decorations – just in case new stock had come in or something, yeah right! Louise actually admitted to being fed up of shopping and window shopping! Hours later, feet aching, shopped out and no cheap watch anywhere!

On the way home we went for a quick shop at Pak n Save to pick up some more cheap rump steak – looks like steak and salad for the next few days!

Chatted to John and Margaret about 10pm – they told us how much snow they had in the UK. Even Torquay – must be bad!!
