[OllieWollieWoo]

So the rest of us can shamelessly copy be amazed by your shopping prowess!!!!! May also enourage those of us trying to de-frump!

I went shopping today and brought a cute blouse thingy from H&M - in dark purple (trying to break my black habit), short capped sleeves, a few flat ruffles at the top with some small black buttons down the front! Not smock style but great for disguising muffin tops!

10 litres trade eggshell
3 litres trade undercoat
3 stairgates
2 universal safety latches
8 towels
1 set bathroom accessories (loo roll holder etc)
1 wardrobe
1 shelf with drawers for hall

My lunch!

1 packet of three shortbread biscuits and a carton of Strawberry ribena
2 times 20p spent on powering a model railway

9.5m of curtain lining

let's not and say we did!

we live in the sticks and the weather up here was abyssmal today.

didn't buy a thing.

I didn't shop but i went collecting mushrooms with about 50 other people which was trememndously enjoyable.

Sorry expat - didn't mean to gloat. Not been shopping for ages and was just a bit over excited at getting something!
I often sit here thinking about what people actually buy after all the suggestions posted on here.

2 tops for dd
tights for dd
vests for dd
hair bobbles for dd
present and card for party that dd is invited to

Coffee and muffin for me
Juice and muffin for dd

Bought not brought - sorry i cannot stop my fingers from typing.

Nothing. I didn't purchase a single thing today or go anywhere near a shop. Bliss!

don't worry, Ollie, i'm not a big shopper personally, whcih is why i like living out here anymore.

Nothing, not even online.

mrsB, what the heck are you up to?

A thermal vest

I did go shopping today . I hates it.

Bought small bra for dd1 and plain old black knickers for me. And a red glas candle holder. And tea lights.

Then I went online. And bought a book for me, a book and a watch for dd2's birthday, 2 white bras for dd1 and a marlon top fpr me as recommended on mn - lol. Bet it's shit

I hates it, too, pointy.

Except for for other people or for non-clothes things. I don't like shopping for clothes and usually do it online.

2 coats for me (Asda)
1 coat for me which I returned 20 minutes later after seeing the ones in Asda

1 coat for DD (Asda)
Boots for DD (Brantano)
Slippers for DD (Brantano)
Dress and leggings for DD (Matalan)

and then I said DD had far too much already and I would not buy her a cardigan so she bought it herself from her pocket money

plus sandwiches for lunch, diesel for car.

I bought a long grey jumper (possibly supposed to be a dress) from H&M. And a watch to replace the one that was stolen in my burglary a few weeks ago. Actually that was quite nice because the insurance gave me a card with cash on it that I could only spend in a jewellers so I had to treat myself. It's a small watch but it came in a mahoosive box.

And a grauniad

yes, expat, I am seriously enjoying buying clothes for dd1

Washing powder

5 Muller Rice

2 cans diet Pepsi

All from Lidl!

To my shame, I haven't left the house today. Had friends round this morning and then I've spent the rest of the day curled up with a book. I did send the girls down the road to buy milk and cake though.

A dress, Cardie, Skirt, 2 pairs of purple tights, some stockings with seams, a new bra and knickers, all of it from Primark apart from the stockings which were from Anne Summers.

Bread and Milk.
Yes I know its boring....but very useful!
