well I bought this in Blue online...it looks vastly different in reality... the material couldn't be any thinner, almost see through it's so thin,, the sleeves are so long they'd do nicely as leg warmers on a giraffe.. and the text on the sweatshirt is the cheapest kind of plastic lettering ever, I doubt it would cope with even the first wash...this is the reason I don't usually buy clothing online.. .

this is supposed to be baby blue..it looks like something I would send to the charity shop.. washed out and worn out...

It doesn't look THAT bad.....really.
I like the saying on it.. :giggle:
 
I've been out all day today since this morning... it's past 7pm now, got home about 45 mins ago

. Just been to a town about 20 miles north, but I had so many places to go and lots of different stores to shop in, I was driving from one retail park to another, again and again....did too much , carried too many things at one time back to the car , put my back out in the end , very painful, was trying to drive home ram road straight backed ..so I've had to take Painkillers, and have the heat-pad on since I got in..

I bought a whole load of new clothes from a shop that sells only designer stuff , they had a massive sale on, and I got everything for a 1/3rd of the price or less because it's winter stock, and they're making room for spring coming in within the next week or 2.... several tops, sweaters, a tunic top, and a beautiful fur collared jacket......and it all came to less that £300...I was chuffed, because they'll last me several winters..

Then, I had my hair cut, and the stylist and I started singing to some 70's music which was playing, and it got everyone in the salon singing 😂..I think they were probably just trying to drown me out..

.... and then I drove to 3 Separate Big Discount stores on the hunt for Picture frames and gardening stuff, plant pots, house plant potting soil.. and loads of other stuff...

Going to have to return the big Picture frames I bought, because despite me measuring the pictures carefully for the size of the frame.. the frames are much larger than it states on the labels..

Did some grocery shopping as well..

I wasn't best pleased, in one giant discount store..I bought over £50 worth of stuff, and she waited until she'd rung everything through before telling me they had no bags... , 😖..so I had to do a juggling act & try and carry everything out to the car including the big bag of potting soil.. in my arms...
..and believe it or not I still didn't get most of what I went out for...

Phew....what a day...

LOL>.. I'm exhausted sitting here with this heat-pad on my back, sitting ram rod straight trying not to make my back even more painful... can't even go downstairs and make dinner... :eek::oops:..serves me right for doing so much all at once after being pretty sedentary for months

What a busy girl you have been. Always good to get a bargain. Just before last Christmas I was hankering after a novelty shirt:

At $225 though, that's £167 it was rather dear. There was also the issue that the camouflage is actually silhouettes of pin-up girls, would it be a fun shirt or a dirty old man's fantasy?
For Christmas I received among other things, three yards of pin-up girl fabric.

This looks promising, what does my sewing fairy have planned?

Inside her cabin, all looks quiet.

Looks like there's a work in progress.

Well goodness me, my shirt fairy has done me proud. Now all I need is for the same fairy to make a nice pair of khaki, wide leg trousers,

I bought 3 pairs of OTC reading glasses.. Pink, Gold, and blue frames that come as a set .. to match outfits I wear when my own expenisve prescription specs just won't do.. . They cost under £15 for the 3 pairs.. .. and come in cute little individual tapestry cases.. how cute..

I also got tickets for the Ideal Home Exhibition which is held every year all through the month of March at Olympia London...it's a fantastic event, millions of people attend,, and it;s been cancelled the last year because of C-19 .. and I got my tickets for free, because I worked for the Television company that sponsors them..so the tickets arrived today for mid-march.. and that gets me into the food and drink festival for free as well

I've never seen a pic of you wearing specs......when do you wear them.

Oh no!
I , too, get them at the Dollar store. Just the one pack for a $1.
I never have to buy a whole case.

True. But there's two of us, and if we use only one a day, that means we'd go through a 60-piece bag every month. The likelihood, though, is that we'd each use three a day.

In order to buy online, they required that I buy a whole case. That said, I don't have to reorder for ... years, I guess.

Well lucky you, are you going to tell us a little bit more? maybe post a picture. My wife's VW Golf is now 24 years old and the only thing that's wrong is........she's bored with it. However, it does share a garage with a 74 year old car, that she's certainly not bored with. My MG.

Very nice too. Is your car black like the one in the photo? That aggressive stance the car has, like it's saying: "Get out of the way minions, I'm coming through!"

Yes I ordered the black, I always get black cars, I was going to get the dark grey, but decided at the last minute lol…it also came in pepper and blue….
