School run (not heavy duty) wellies

Where can I buy some wellies for the school run / rainy day use? I'd like something a bit pretty (maybe glossy? Not sure I could bring myself to wear full on patterned), but don't want to break the bank. I am sworn off Hunters for life (a Le Chameau convert for "proper" wellies, but don't need anything in that league), and although I quite like some of the Joules boots, nothing is really grabbing me (and ideally I'd like to be able to spend a bit less).

We have horses so my day-to-day wellies take a bit of a battering, and I get some strange looks from the staff when I walk into my DSs nursery with wellies that are actually covered in horse poo on wet days. Hence the need for "clean" rainy day footwear! They don't need to be able to withstand much, just a bit of walking through puddles.

They had some in B&Q the other day - pretty wellies, if that's what you're after.

Thank you, will compare all of those - may stop in at B&Q tomorrow. Like the look of the Lunar wellies, they would definitely fit the bill, half leg is fine.
