Yes, it does matter. Words are important and it's basic English. OP means bought (buy), not brought (bring). We all make mistakes and that's fine, but no need to pretend it doesn't matter.

How kind of you to point out something so irrelevant to the question the OP asked. I wonder how many times you have made a mistake in a post or generally in life! My goodness - shame on you!!!!

Also, you say it is "basic English". How do you know that English is even the OP's first language? They may also have many other reasons for the error i.e. Being dyslexic or not having spellings as one of their strengths.

I would prefer to be a shit speller than an arsehole 😂

I have just bought a fantastic sweatshirt for my grown up DD.
Her 22nd birthday present arrived at her house today incredibly early but she may as well have had it because it’s a playpen/run for her Rats and Syrian hamster (separately obviously and easy to clean between animals). The sooner they can enjoy it the better.
I will need to get something else for her to have on the day. Besides that was arguably a present for her rodents. 😆

I’ve also picked out some shirts for DH but he is just 1/2 an inch over the size small. I am debating whether to risk it or whether to get the medium. Okay it’s going to be big but you can’t go smaller can you? 🤨😕

Buying clothes can be a pain. I bought my mum a lovely jumper today, but had no idea what size to get so went to the shop to have a look, decided on a XL (pretty sure she’s a size 16), I know she will screw her nose up at the size label because she still thinks she’s a size 12 and squeezes into jumpers that are too small for her.

I see the grammar police are still out and about.. 🤣 gotta love the pettiness 🙃 for those of you wondering, I’m not dyslexic, I’m totally English, in fact it’s my only language. I was educated in a crappy london high school but will be pleased to know I got a C in gcse English 🤣 literally used brought my whole life, wether people like it or not, I’m still gonna use it. The only place I’ve ever pissed people off with it is on here so I’ll continue to do so. 2 can play at the pettiness game 🙂‍↔️

I’ve made some more progress,
DS is now getting the part 2 minecraft vinyl
also some watch covers for new Apple Watch
also
a dairy milk bar
some Lindor salted caramel
a Lindt teddy
a Costa dusting set
a Coca Cola gift set

dd12 now has a puma hoody
a Wednesday brush set
a Wednesday cosmetic bag
princess peach switch game
also I’m giving her my old phone as hers as run out of space with the amount of pics and tik toks she makes (she only had. 64gb) I’ve brought a case for it, and will wrap it up, it’s only lasting her until September when she’s getting a new phone for her 13th birthday.

DP now has
2 adidas T-shirts
some adidas socks

and I’ve pre ordered my mum the Luther vandross vinyl that’s coming out in December.

Yes sizes are tricky. I’m generally a 10, but when it comes to pyjamas, sweatshirts, and hoodies I often opt for a 12. Those things are comfy loose. In my opinion they should be loose. I never understand people cramming into too tight clothes. Comfort is very important for everyone at every size.

I've now bought a voucher for a Medieval Archery experience for DH (he's into archery).
Onesies for both DC.
