Bought anything new in the last week?

I didn't buy clothes. I bought a set of three 1950's side tables for £6.00 from a charity shop to "do up". Good to have a project during the winter. Am I normal!?

I bought 3 more Jojo Moyes books, after enjoying this month's GN book club choice. They were 1p each (used) plus joint postage of £2.99.

Love your jug and plate NellieI I , it's nice to buy things just because we like them. I bought a new long blanket cardigan /wrap from Asda in warm Orange and Brown patchwork, £22.00 it's ideal for when it's too cold for just a thinish top ,but too warm for a heavy coat.

I bought a couple of very nice framed pictures, one is just a photograph but the other is signed painting by a local artist.

Stansgran, the pull-on trousers are good after a hip op. I also recommend a gadget for getting your socks on withough bending down - mine is called 'Sock-on' and I'm hanging on to it in case the other hip gives out. Any disability shop will have something similar. High leg knickers will keep the elastic away from your scar.

Stansgran - 'French' knickers are also good after a hip op as they are baggy round the leg. You might find your body is slightly bloated for a while after the op, I think it is all the drugs they put into you, but don't make the mistake I made and order lots of clothes in a bigger size because you will soon return to normal! Good luck with the op, you will feel much better when it is done. I do!

I've only just discovered this thread. It's great! Virtual retail therapy, with encouragement to go out and experience the same thing.

Now, what shall I buy?

Laters...

For my neighbor I bought dry dog food from pets are us. For myself I bought 2 water pistols, to stop the cats from jumping in the peat beside the fire. 1 ball of wool, to make a pom pom hat, from America, because it is free delivery. From amazon some tiny little bells, a bag of little red pompoms and some gold thread, to make a Christmas tree hat, also 3 small sea-grass drawers to hide all the bits of important junk accumulating on my computer desk

gillybob woolover's cashmere/merino stuff isn't expensive.

I do look after my cashmere things, I have a little metal comb gadget that defluffs my wool. I started to buy them with the onslaught of hot flushes and never went back. Occasionally I manage to buy cashmere on ebay for just a few pounds. I buy most of my clothes there, but I do spend my birthday/xmas money on Woolovers and M&S and ask for vouchers from either, for underwear and new jumpers.

Never heard of Woolovers- everyone seems to recommend it , will look at the site

I bought a Woolovers cashmere/merino jumper a few weeks ago. It's lovely and soft, colour bluebell. I'm very pleased with it - might get another.
I think it was 58€, which is about £40. I've bought other things from them recently.

ps sizes are generous, and some styles are unisex, no shaping at the waist.

I bought some sheepskin shorty Ugg style boots from Costo as my indoor winter slippers - gorgeous.

Plus a padded jacket from M & S (between seasons) with 20% off. And a bottle of Baileys as early Christmas present for me

I bought a pair of little grey suede shoe boots which I love. I also bought an outfit for my teenage granddaughter to wear for a party She chose it herself obviously!

Have nighties gone out of fashion? M&S have masses of pyjamas, but only a few nighties and they're horrible colours.

I have treated myself to a rather snazzy zipped fleece cardigan. Will be welded to fleece till spring.

Can't stop now I've started - 2 scarves from the street market in Leamington Spa and a ...

100 year old Tibetan singing bowl - always wanted one and this one sings beautifully.

Not new -but new to me. I but I bought a pair of jeans, a top, a fleece and a cardigan with frills for £8. at a Charity Shop.

Also bought a quilted jacket (new) from Bon Marche.

I think The Golden Girls gave nighties a bad name, Conni7. I used to watch it and DBH told me I was never to wear anything like that! Maybe when I'm 80. I doubt it though, I hate them, they ride up and are very draughty on midnight walks to the loo.

I bought a light-as-a-feather coat from Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down range. It is very warm, amazingly unbulky and fits into a small bag.

I now want many of the delightful other things mentioned in this thread.

will go mad tomorrow when I go to Lakeland in Stratford - spiraliser first, one for me and one for DD2... and then ?

A rather lovely pair of midnight blue suede wedges for DDs wedding. Dithering between those (VanDal) and equally nice pair by Gabor, so solved the problem by having both, but swapping the Gabors for black suede.

Just about to buy a beautiful "berry colours" scarf by EAST for youngest DD's birthday (if I can bear to part with it when the time comes ....)

That's the problem I find, buying nice stuff as presents, and then finding it hard to give them away!

I like the sound of the shoes - both pairs - Alea. Rather [envious]

I meant.
