I'm going (online) shopping! What should I buy?

Hi all,
I am going online clothes shopping in the very very near future and I am trying to think what to get. I am starting this thread for help making my shopping list.

I don't have any occasion wear as I always buy for the occasion so as not to go to something wearing clothes I've already worn, so that is a possibility.

I have quite a lot of jeans and t-shirts so don't need them, I might get a few tops and some proper trousers.

Does anybody have any suggestions for what to buy? I don't need links as I have a specific website I would like to shop on, but I would like some suggestions of what to get.

Thanks all.
Take care,
FlyingHandbag. X

FH says she is ‘ a few years younger than most on here’.

Well, that narrows her age down from in her 20’s up to 100 I should think!

I imagine the former if she is going online shopping for stuff she doesn’t really need, doesn’t know what she wants and sounds like she is just bored really!

Buy a onesie, faux fur, and plimsolls , just in case. You can never have enough pairs of plimsolls.
As you don’t feel the cold it will be fine, you are young, slim and live with your parents, so It will give your Mum less washing to do.

Sorry ‘if you don’t feel the heat’ , not cold, duh !

I'd never be bored enough to shop for things I don't need. Where's the fun in that?

Ah but Hetty58, you’re probably not a few years younger than most on here grin

If you don’t know what you want, you obviously don’t need it! Go through your wardrobes and reuse what is there. We all have far too much ‘stuff‘ ?

Suggestions:

1 Proper trousers
2 A few tops
3 Another handbag as the other one has flown
4 A warm winter coat

You could order some bricks and cement to mend that wall, too.

Oh, and what Oopsadaisy said too!

Too much money methinks.

Poppyred Fri 26-Jun-20 08:24:14

Why not just keep your money until you NEED something?? Or are you just playing us all for FOOLS??

Do the schools definitely open in September? It’s going to be a long couple of months.......

Is it possible that a girl can never have too many socks or knickers? ?

We never did hear how/who repaired the wall, did we?

Did you finish making the clothes for the Teddy bear Flyinghandbag

Perhaps they can't get a builder at the moment Meryl
I do worry about the Mum and Dad, it must be rather dangerous for them with a collapsed wall just outside.

FlyingHandbag’s original post was an ordinary start to a thread - but some of the grans’ posts have creased me up laughing. I almost choked on my breakfast this morning.
Thank you ??

Awaiting today’s —inconsequential— bonkers thread with bated breath wink

Flyinghandbag Instead of ordering clothes why not order bricks and cement and watch a YouTube video on How To Mend a Brick Wall? wink grin
