Thank you for the compliment, Amber. However, I must say that most of the time I really don't look or feel glamorous - you ladies have only seen me at my best 
.
Shop - my leather leggings are similar (lamb leather), and I have never protected them. No gapping at the knee, but they have a moto sort of stitching on the knee which might prevent this from happening. I get them dry cleaned at a specialist leather cleaner (my normal dry cleaners sends them off) once a year. Once a year because I simply use a leather cleaning cloth, and also cost a bloody arm and leg to clean. I would worry slightly about the gap because leather does stretch a bit.
Queen - I'll take the Helmut Lang dress and the Armani Clutch!
Sleep - what a pain, really. Can't believe the price of new locks! Was it a special Banhams lock? The fish is from Atari-Ya, here is the link. Click on the "shops" and see which one is closest to you. They also have great raw fish for sashimi or sushi which the fishmonger will slice for your needs. They supply Nobu, and their fish is excellent.
liberty sorry the dress did not work out, but great find on the shoes. They also look like they are a sensible height (well, at least by my standards) so you can traipse around town in them.
Linus - fantastic present! was is an Alhambra bracelet? Beautiful things, but I am such a klutz with jewellery, that no expensive things for me. You are welcome to live in my wardrobe, but you'd be sorely disappointed - it is quite small. DH, however, takes up much more space than I do and only wears 5% of his clothes. He is a hoarder, and refuses to let go of things he has not worn for 20 years. I have secretly culled some things - like the 3 pairs of leather trousers from his 20s which he probably could not even get 1 leg into, and even if he could, I would never let him wear.
FREEZING here. Thank goodness I am not going out for Bonfire Night tonight. I'll just sit at home all snug and cozy and cuddle my puppy, who is petrified of fireworks.
