Bought anything new in the last week?

All I've bought is a very cheap pair of sandals from ebay. I've put them away for next summer, I couldn't find any I liked this year.

I bought some rather snazzy travel slippers in Windsor yesterday. When I visit certain friends homes they like me to take off my shoes, so I thought these easy to carry ones would suit the bill.

I also bought some Simple Eye Cream for old biddies like me to improve the bags and dark circles.

I bought a lovely bright pink cashmere jumper from M&S, it goes with my white hair a treat. I just need an occasion to wear it.

I bought a lovely soft navy-blue pair of baby needlecord straight trousers from M&S Collection. They are like velvet.

I've just ordered a pair of flannel pyjamas and sheepskin slippers from Lands End, and a big sloppy cardigan from Woolovers. I want to stay warm this winter.

Ah - I forgot my Woolovers stash, bought with my birthday money. I like their longer length V-neck cashmere and merino cardigans, I bought a dark grey and a purple this year.

Cashmere? Are you lot all loaded...?

No, we took advantage of 20% while we could

I did say birthday money! I am poor, but everyone sent money. Cashmere is my one weakness and I try to buy at least one item a year.

My thoughts exactly Ana

Yes annsixty!

Bought a Christmas jumper whilst there is plenty of choice and I could get one I liked

I bought a new bra. Not very exciting, but very essential. All my old ones are now rather stretched and saggy. Also two pairs of new jeggings, denim blue and black. Now I need some new tops, and I'll be ready for winter.

I bought a new book today. A journal from paper chase.

I always come home empty-handed then see other people in clothes I like.

Where do they go shopping, I don't like to ask.

gilly I love buying stationary. Love to just hold it and stroke the pages. (Im strange).

I bought two brand new with tags M & S jumper dresses off ebay. One is purple and was £4.99, the other is navy and grey zig-sag and was £8.

Both are knee length and brilliant with leggings and boots, or jeggings and flat pumps, or my favourite Clark's blue suede lace-up but relatively dainty brogues.

O they sound brilliant Cool. What a find.

I treated myself to a Masons ironstone plate and jug in "chartreuse". because I was feeling fed up and they are pretty. I might be tempted by jugs in the red and blue of this range.

I have bought a witch's hat with spiders on for Hallowe'en and a couple of metres of matching shiny material to make a cloak to scare impress the DGS with next weekend. £6.50 all in.

I love cashmere, but only buy it when it's in the final, final clearance section. Which is why the only cashmere item I currently possess is a bright purple polo neck jumper. I don't wear it a lot, but I do like to stroke it.

Love your plate and jug Nellie. Isn't it lovely at our age just to buy something that we like and not think should I be buying this .

On the other hand I saw a lovely Autumn themed dress yesterday that I fancied but it cost £69 and as it was just a plain shift dress in style and I felt it just did not justify the money. I will try and get it in the sale

I bought two scarves from Peter Jones costing £75 and was charged 5p for a tiny bag!

I could hardly put my lovely new purchases straight into the shopping bag

I bought a new dress from Joe Browns. I love their style. i try to buy a couple every winter.

I bought a dressing gown and polo neck sweater in Next, but also wanted to buy a winter coat and a skirt, but could find nothing I liked.
