Own up- what was your impulse purchase today then???

**Brengirl** · 09-04-2010, 05:21 PM

I bought from a charity shop a pair of XXL Animal swim shorts for my OH. He will be eighty on Monday and I want to give him the joie de vivre for as long as possible.

Hmmm I went shopping at Sainsburys today...and NEARLY bought some pears, but then saw they came from far far away and put them back. Pity cos I just fancied some

So have been good today....so far....but have not been on ebay yet!!

I went to get a flapjack at the coffee shop today and came away with not just a flap jack, but a hot chocolate too.

I am the clear winner so far! My Dad is visiting for a few days from tomorrow and we both like our grub (and drink!). I only meant to get a few last bits and pieces but it seems that Mr Sainsbury somehow managed to relieve me of over �80. Ooops!

Oooohh dear,

Today
A second water computer for the garden
a draw knife so I can make walking sticks from hazel and ash
a white stuff dress for kazzi

Yesterday
A pair of felco no9 (left handed) pruners for home.
a string of 180 blue led Christmas type lights for the veranda
6 bottles of 2005 premier cru Chablis
Very nearly bought a RIB

But only because I am off work with the lurgy and online shopping is better than watching Jeremy Kyle

Oh...er...piglet...( I forgot about my solar lights too !

Oh yes you do!!!!...this could well be an ongoing thread- esp as the growing season has arrived!!!!

**Jeanied** · 09-04-2010, 05:56 PM

It was so hot out there in the car - my wing mirror sensor registered 20 degrees this afternoon - so I think the growing season is well and truly here.
GC tomorrow then!

Amateurs the lot of you! You wanna try working in a bleeding garden centre!!!!! This week, four white dicentra, several bags of compost, more tomato seeds, (really dont need them) and eying up most of the rest all day.

Actually written down that is quite restrained isn't it? Maybe I should buy some more stuff?

I hope you get a staff discount Fifi - I'd definitely need one if i worked in a GC. Our local independent one was recruiting a while back. I resisted temptation.
