Went wild spending this week !

I bought 2 pairs of curtains for the living room. Spent the last 2 days altering them, pinning, tacking, cutting and hemming them. They are now up but have to get a new track as my helpful OH put them up and broke the brackets!

Some of you are really pushing the boat out!

Here is my lovely yellow linen basket that I bought on line.

Oh!

Ha ha!!

Is that for the pegs?

After looking for wallpaper for my lounge and kitchen I finally found what I wanted and bought the amount I needed only for the new rules to come in and my decorator can't come now to put it up for goodness knows how long.(hmm)

Not even big enough for the pegs ?

It's got the washing up sponge in it at the moment.

Illte ?
Maybe it’s for smalls

PS I’ve just remembered I saw similar fully grown versions of them in Aldi during the week. I think they were £9.99 if you’re still looking for one.

I bought a ladle £4 in Sainsbury as I had 'donated' mine to the charity shop I think.

I'd love one. So cheery.

Aldi here I come ?

This thread is giving me more laughs than any of the joke threads!

I have got some scoops (for coffee and tea) on my Amazon list. It was really to find some with short enough handles to fit in the jars I keep loose tea in. I brought my mother's lovely teapot over but I wish I'd thought to bring the little spoon she used to use as well.

I have just spent £75 on Amazon for
- Easypill: the pastey stuff that we give Missy (elderly, grumpy, self opinionated cat) to get her twice daily medication down her ...
- Citronnella fresh deodorising spray and Extreme Cat Odour Remover spray, to deal with Ollie (young, ex-stray cat) and his ‘stress incontinence’.

Boy, my life is thrilling.

Just had an Amazon delivery. I replacement filter for the fish tank and flea tablets for the cat!

I bought 2 new finger touch bins for my kitchen, from John Lewis. 40 litres each. One for recycling, one landfill rubbish. Staying at home all the time has made me look at my home in closer detail.

Also some lovely stripey bamboo socks, no tight edges, for my diabetic feet...

Chewy Marydoll knitting a crochet type string vest for colder weather sounds great..

I bought a postcard to send to DGS , 60p plus stamp.
Ok, I admit I also treated myself to an antique silver needle case for my collection.

It must be catching! I bought a new toilet brush yesterday!

I bought a roll of shirring elastic, £1:99 from Amazon, to use on the baggy cuffs of a couple of old jumpers that I hope will do another winter as no-one will see them when I don’t go out.
It is like wartime, make do and mend.

I love that vest pattern. I want one.
In a fit of lockup madness I bought a dining table online from Ikea. Fortunately, I do like it but it was a bit rash for an impulse buy.

I’ve bought. A tablecloth, table mats,glasses, and cutlery. Don’t know why I bothered because were in lockdown now so can’t have visitors ? But at least I’ll be ready and waiting ...

I have been buying up art cards at £2.82 each, framing them in simple (Asda) black frames. I am going to have a wall of pictures I like. www.greenpebble.co.uk/collections/greeting-cards/animals

SparklyGrandma I also bought one of the stainless steel recycling bins from John Lewis. It was a gift to my daughter. She's delighted with it.

Seacliff I like the cards and your idea of framing a selection. I've just signed up to receive information from Green Pebbles. Thanks.

Thanks Aldom. It started when I (as a Cat Protection fosterer) rehomed two gorgeous cats to an artist. She created a beautiful linocut card of them and kindly sent me a copy.

Then I wanted more, and found her work on the Green Pebble site. Many of the artists are from East Anglia so there are lovely prints and lino cuts of local places like Snape marshes etc.
