What have you bought recently?

Like shoes, purse, dress changing the floor tile, vanity , wall paint, lighting all have to coordinate with the new shower tile.

So my wife picked out what she wants & I am now get to spend my time with more DIY bathroom renovation. All I have to do is make sure the floor is level, rewire the lighting, get new trim for the base, adjust the plumbing to the new vanity base. fill in the holes where stuff used to be sand & feather it to match the original wall, paint, then lay the tile, grout it & maybe just maybe the bathroom renovation will be complete.

By the time you finish, she will want a new color 😂

My o/h did all that last week in our bathroom....:)..and he's still working full time...:sneaky:
 
I have been wanting to buy this chest of drawers for my g-nieces. It is for sale on Marketplace (Facebook) but it is another city way down on the tip of Texas. We are terrified of travelling due to the pandemic. The virus is still quite active. I love this piece of furniture. I even asked the seller where she had bought it ... in hopes of finding a NEW one. During these times, you just don't know if it is safe to buy 'used' furniture. She's sent me photos of the inside, back, etc. It is in great condition. Oh well.

It is lovely
 
Today after we had lunch at the pub, hubs was taken hostage as he was already in the car, and I drove to a town in the next county.. because I wanted a mirrored glass shelf like this

..from a Bargain store..and while there I picked up several other things. velvet coat hangers, mirrored glass ornamental alphabet letters , and bits and bobs... then from there I went into the Town centre somewhere I rarely go..but they have a good Shoe shop there,but litttle did I know that because they'd only just re-opened after almost a year of lockdown half the stock was reduced drastically because they need to get all their summer stock in .. and as I'm a boots freak, how could I resist.....

Look what I got for the grand sum of £15.97...

My newest pair of jeans arrived. Right pale blue for summer. Basically the right length. 100% cotton - detest the spandex that always gets baggy after one wearing. Madewell Perfect Vintage. But the legs are very large so I’m not sure about the look. I sure don’t recall wearing jeans with legs like that. They were on sale - if you call $1 off a sale. 🤨

My birthmother was 13 when she was raped by someone who was apparently a family friend because he was alone with her and my uncle, who was younger. She was barely 14 when she gave birth to me. Her uncle and his wife took me and raised me. I knew her as my "cousin" until the day of my 16th birthday party when I kept asking my mother for my birth certificate so I could get my working papers. I remember almost fainting when she told me the truth. By the time I found out who my birth mother really was, she had been dead for 5 years. She died at 25 from what they called Bright's Disease back then. It's a kidney disease.

But many blessings came out of this story. I couldn't have asked for a better mother. My father was quiet but a good father. I was raised in a stable, loving family. I grew up knowing my real blood relatives, including my birth mother who was so much fun and my grandmother. Our family was very close and visited each other often. In 1998 after finding out I had a half brother, I met my (half) sister first then him. I had other siblings, a brother I met later because he lived further away and a sister (whom I'm told I look like her twin) who had already passed away. I found a whole new family of cousins and something I never thought I'd have...nieces, nephews and grands, great grands and great, great grands of those!

I've had battery mowers......they're a lot quieter than gas.....no pull cord.....on the farm, just used it for trimming.......but......they are very heavy to push......not sure if you can get one with self driven front wheels, that would be great if you could.
When i moved to town......got the front yard mowed with it charged, but not much more.
The back yard is quite big.....kept me hoping to get it done before the battery died.
Also, i found if you were going through thick grass, you could hear the mower power slow down, a lot of battery power used up.
But, like i said, they're very heavy to push......a really good work out.

"EGO" makes the best ones. Self propelled, more power than gas, long runtime & short charge time.

Those jeans are the shape I was hoping for. The colour is perfect. Not sure why I don’t care for a dark wash. 10/10 for those boots too.

Yes altho' I have black and dark blue jeans, I prefer the lighter colour too...but always straight leg, never skinny...

This photo is ten years old but you get the gist , still straight leg jeans...

The only time I wear anything tight is when I'm wearing leggings and that's not very often..and usually only with stirrups where I can wear knee length boots..

You make me smile with your buying enthusiasm, @hollydolly . You remind me so much of my best friend. She gets extremely excited when out shopping. She and I would travel to San Antonio and literally shopped til we dropped. Those were the days. She was one who would find a pair of shoes and get them in a multitude of shades/colors. I would just stare at her in awe. It's funny how things change when one is older. I (when single) only thought about buying clothes. But, I didn't go crazy as I had a house to pay for. Now, I prefer giving. And giving....
