What have you brought today?

[Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger]

I love people watching when sat in coffee shops when out shopping and would love to stop people and ask what they've brought today and what's in their carrier bags. Unfortunately, people probably wouldn't take kindly to it.

So I am going to ask MN what have you brought today?

I haven't brought anything today - rare for me to be honest to manage a complete no spend day.

Yesterday I spent:

• £8 on a coffee and cake with my friend and daughter.
• £6 on a chippy tea.

A bottle of wine and a large packet of Doritos for watching the Italian Grand Prix.

Later we will do our weekly shop in Asda, but I've got a list and as long as dd2 doesn't want to come too, we should stick to the list. She's an excellent off-list shopper and had surgery 2 weeks ago so is desperate to get out of the house so we might have to take her too!!

Today?
some birthday cards and some oddballs pants for ds’s Christmas stockings. I have shocked myself as I never usually think about Christmas until November. Not sure what came over me!

Yesterday a meal out before going to the theatre followed by too many gins in the bar afterwards!

Today:-

take away teas in both a local cafe and Greggs. The tea came with an amaretti biscuit (soft) and a pistachio canneli (those tube things). Glazed donut in Greggs.

Yesterday nothing as didn’t go out. Got sainsburys order this morning.

I BOUGHT a lip gloss from Amazon.

I did not BRING anything, though.

That’s the joke 🤦‍♀️

Coffee, orange juice, cake and croissant, for dd and me.

Black PE trainers and school shoes, for dd.

Multi pack of haribo sweets, for dd birthday party bags in a few weeks.

Can we just say it's been established I've used the wrong spelling? Not sure why about four comments are needed on this on a light hearted thread.

Oh dear.

I've had a haircut and also bought paint for DS' bedroom.

Nothing ... It's Sunday. Hardly anywhere is open in my little market town.

Haircut? I don't think I've ever known a hairdresser open on a Sunday.

She works from home, so I go round whenever is mutually convenient! Very handy.

Welcome to the pedantic world of Mumsnet. Where some people love to point out your mistakes, and when you're 'wrong.' 🙄 And every person who points it out thinks they're sooooo terribly clever, and original.

Take no notice @Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger To be honest, I didn't even notice!

That's handy!

I always find threads like this interesting too.

I spent £45 in Sainsburys. £20 of that was on some probiotics for me as I've not been feeling well. I also bought some sleep spray, a pack of nail files, a pizza for DS to have for tea while watching the football, some hummus and a pack of 4 chocolate chip muffins.

Super cuts (I think it's called super cuts the national chain one) is open on a Sunday in my town.

Just bought dd a new set of bedding for uni from JL.

Today I bought some silicone for the bathroom and the tools needed to do it. Very exciting! 😂 But I also go a new bag from Vinted for my holiday, and some new tops.

@HeySummerWhereAreYou thank you!

£220 on dinner for 12 -already paid half a few weeks ago 🙈

😘

@HeySummerWhereAreYou you clearly don't live in London then. Loads are open on Sundays here.

My entire weekend spend is £27 on groceries. Am dieting and resisting temptation. It's nice hearing about other people's coffees, toasties and cakes with friends though.

A grey leather jacket from Celtic &Co online.
I had been looking for one for autumn and there was 1 in my size with £100 off (I think) so I got it, it was £260 from memory.

Bought.

Nothing.

Ingredients to make spaghetti carbonara for dinner tonight. Plus £50 on a bottle of champagne as a treat, which we are now sat in the garden drinking. We have had adult dc and dgc staying for a few days. Love them dearly but they are a lot! A treat was definitely in order…..
