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

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

Because I want to buy things, I like to buy things often. X

Yes, the same as my grandson, he likes to buy things often.
I tell him he can have more when he earns it himself.?

Instead of retail therapy, I wonder if you have ever thought of doing something like sponsoring an overseas child who is living in abject poverty. You would have regular updates about the child, and even receive letters from he or she. Spending money does sometimes give us pleasure, but how much more rewarding would it be to know that it was doing good.

I hope your contribution to the economy helps to keep some people in jobs.
Keep up the good work.

I would wait until I could go out myself and decide what I wanted (or needed) something cashmere or linen wouldn't go amiss and always look classic I'm sure I think we all at the minute are bored with everything and feel the need to spend.
This morning I spent 2 hours buying toys for C-------s as presents for my smaller DGCs & GGCs all 50% off at Argos so that is one big problem out of the way for me,personally I am waiting to shop for myself at a later date.

How much pocket money have you got to spend FlyingHandbag?

I see we still get treated to a ‘x’ at the end of every post. Think MawB commented on it.

MawB got shot down in flames ? for commenting - despite not being the only person to do so grin

Still think OP’s question is daft for a variety of reasons
1) what does she need?
2) which website is she talking about?
3) what does it stock?
4) what is her budget?
5) what age group is she?
6) is she talking summer clothes? Winter clothes? Sale items?
7) how long is a piece of string.......?

Callistemon Fri 26-Jun-20 14:04:24

7 She could knit with string

Cue for a song

You may not be an angel
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
I'll string along with you

Re the OP’s original post.

Back in May she treated herself to three tops and a beautiful pair of pyjamas, courtesy of her mum, so although she seems unclear about what she would like this time, probably not tops or pyjamas.

Kind mum smile
Maybe something for OP’s Mum then this time, instead of herself, or the kind uncle who bought her the photograph album?

flyinghandbagI'm still wondering if you have finished making the clothes for the Teddy. Please let me know what you made for him. Have you decided yet on what to order online. We're all waiting to hear. ?

Hi, I've only made an orange camisole as the clothes aren't needed for a while. I'm going to get some trousers, tops and pyjamas I think. X

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

Not the bricks and cement for mending the wall then? Shame, as it would have benefited your parents.

FlyingHandbag Fri 26-Jun-20 17:06:45

Mum is waiting until the shops calm down to go shopping, and my uncle's birthday is soon so I'll treat him then. X

FlyingHandbag Fri 26-Jun-20 17:08:46

I don't have a clue about DIY, the wall will be sorted after lockdown. X

What is the part time work you do, FlyingHandbag, when you are able to get back to it? Do you have to wear a uniform?

Does anybody have any suggestions for what to buy

How about a very tall handbag to store all of your very tall tales in. You wouldn't even have to worry about it flying away given how heavy it would be.

Goodness, FH is still short of tops and pyjamas.

My pyjamas last me for ages.

I’m so pleased I don’t have to keep buying new ones.
