What spur-of-the-moment purchases have you made that turned out better than expected??

[NovemberMorn]

One spring day, a sunny, gardening-weather day, I went out for a couple of bags of peat and came home with a cabriolet. My very first open-top, I had it for 10 years and only sold it last year....I loved that car.

Do you have any unexpected purchases?

I recently went to a garden centre for a particular plant, it wasn't in stock, but I came home with a set of beautifully patterned bowls, ideal for serving tapas dishes in.

A miniature daschund. He was the brother of a colleagues puppy which I went to pick up with with her and the last one left as he was runty and has a kink in his tail. He is the baby of our family and our other Dogs allow themselves to be bossed about by him.

Aww, that's a wonderful spur of the moment purchase. x
