My Dyson V6 animal, my new yoghurt maker from Lakeland, my Whizzer (recommended by Ana) from Amazon, my RFID wallet, a chain to keep my purse safe from pick-.pockets, my present Krups coffee machine, numerous spices (low carb thread), my previous car (Nissan Qashqai - Kitty?), my eyebrow powder (had never heard of this before), new denim jeans (John Rocha), crazy Rock 'n Chalk hair colours (pink, purple, green and blue) and ....I could go on and on.

Is it just me? Or have others thought 'that sounds a good idea!' hmm

What about your Woolovers tunic/coatigan, EAST sale purchases and Hotter shoes?

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 16:11:59

Hotter shoes??? not likely!

Maggiemaybe Sun 29-Jan-17 16:39:22

Now, now, Anya, not so hasty. I would have reacted just the same to Hotter shoes until I saw these little beauties. I'm quite smitten. Sadly for me they don't do them in wider fit.

My Kaarcher window vac.

Maggiemay 'oh my' they look Gorgeous.
But I think that I would also need wide fitting (dodgy swollen ankle)
I think I will google hotter anywaysmile
Anya that is some list
Are you thrilled with all your purchases?
If so then GNers has come up trumps
(No can't use that any more) done well.

Have not 'has'blush

Maggiemaybe. Have you bought Hotter shoes before? I have wide feet and the extra wide are too wide for me.

I bought a Babyliss hot brush hair dryer on recommendation from here and I love it!

Charleygirl Sun 29-Jan-17 17:16:11

If I did not buy Hotter shoes I would probably be wearing plastic bags on my feet. My only gripe is colour, choose any colour you want in my size and width and it is black. I do find them very comfortable and I am really beyond caring what my feet look like as long as they are comfortable.

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 17:20:44

I forgot my Karcher window vac!!

Maggie love those funky boots...and I take a slim fitting.....hmm

Ana Sun 29-Jan-17 17:22:38

I bought a Karcher window vac because of GN recommendations too...but it's still in its box...blush

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 17:23:14

Yes cherrytree all good purchases. I was very sad when we sold the Qashqui especially.

And ....loads of book (Kindle) from recommendations.

kittylester Sun 29-Jan-17 17:23:14

Did you ever try putting a bear on the roof, Anya, apparently it's strong enough! grin

What have you got now - I've got a crv!

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 17:23:44

Ana! shock

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 17:24:59

You remember Kitty grin ...couldn't find any Bears ? around here. I remember thinking you might live in Canada.

Anya Sun 29-Jan-17 17:25:56

I've a 120 Hyundai PE. It's a nice little sporty job.

kittylester Sun 29-Jan-17 17:37:37

Ana, I've used mine once and it has been sitting in the utility room since well before Christmas. I have just sneaked it into the cupboard under the stairs. blush

Ana Sun 29-Jan-17 17:43:11

Thank goodness I'm not the only one, kitty...wink

kittylester Sun 29-Jan-17 18:00:19

Mind you the windows are filthy!! grin

Ana Sun 29-Jan-17 18:01:37

Yes, that's the one drawback...grin

Maggiemaybe Sun 29-Jan-17 18:23:40

I've tried the boots on, ginny. Sadly my wide feet are now made even wider by my horrible bunion, so they were tight, to be honest. I was still tempted though (an attitude which has no doubt helped the bunion on a bit over the years!).

Maggiemaybe Sun 29-Jan-17 18:25:26

I think there's a role waiting for me in the 2017 Gransnet panto, if it happens to be Cinderella... grin

shysal Sun 29-Jan-17 18:31:47

Onion comb, red hair colour, Goof Proof eyebrow pencil, another which looked green on me, tubing mascara, Sketcher shoes, a Remoska and NYDJ jeans. I am sure there are more items which have been GN recommended but can't think of them at present. Thank you to all for your helpful ideas!

kittylester Sun 29-Jan-17 18:48:39

Anya, we have loads of bears in North Leicestershire - getting them up on the car roof proved difficult as it was sooooo shiny and slippy!
