I am having to wash and wear up to 4 items a day due to this infernal Heat... it's now almost 100 degrees here and now at 4pm I've had to change twice, I can literally wring my clothes out..

At home I'm wearing strappy thin dresses.. and occasionally shorts and strappy vests.... but I have to keep washing everything every day...

I've just bought this dress from Amazon.. it's exactly the right length.. and best of all it has pockets.. so I got 2...

I've been walking around in just my knickers! Mind you, no-one can see into my flat unless they are standing on their roof.

Nice dress…..that’s one of the style dresses I going to make up a pattern for to make….to add to my wardrobe of dresses….may be more suitable when I’m out and about at my future residence…..where my strapless sundresses may not be.
 

This isn’t something I’ve bought recently…..in fact it was about 15 years ago…..I consider them one of my great finds.
Another take on so called tv tables.
Measures 25” x 20”…..has 6 different heights…..and has 4 different slant positions besides the table top use.
Ordered through Sears catalogue…..have never seen this type anywhere since….so handy for so much….they take a pretty good weight.
I splurged and got 3.
Have had many that want to buy them….no…..not for sale.05127CC4-C077-4AAB-9E6E-B90D7A7E7C4E.jpeg3584FDA6-599B-4F6D-92CD-717D57793CE3.jpeg You can see it has a good edge so spills aren’t tragic

OH goodness ..I had that very same plastic table about 20 years ago.. I bought it to enable me to slide the legs under the sofa, and be able to sit and do jigsaw puzzles..It was really handy because not only can you adjust the height, the table tilts as well.. so it's great for artists..
 
I haven't yet, but want to buy two braided rugs (ugh! now my screen is going to show me braided rugs forevermore). My kitchen is long and narrow and has tile floors, and I don't have central heat so they are cold in winter, thus the reason for rugs (I use a space heater to keep The Hovel warm).

I have two braided rugs in the kitchen now, but they are old and starting to look a bit shabby. I've looked and looked and can't find anything that suits me.

First World problem...
 
A seersucker dress and a pair of white jeans. The jeans were practically free with all the discounts at $10. The dress was heavily discounted too. I was time restricted so didn’t try it on and I don’t love it when I got home because of the collar. Guess it‘ll go back tomorrow, or soon. Lots of summer sales right now. I’d really like to find one more easy-to-wear summer dress.
 
Returned the seersucker dress and stopped in another store I hadn’t been in for umpteen years. They carry some Petite sizes in shirts. Chose two off a circular rack with a 60% off sign on top. Also found two basics for $10 each. Signed up for their loyalty plan for -10%. The total was over $86 so I did a double take. The 60% off didn’t apply to Brand Basics and those were on that rack. WTH. No way I was buying them. They said it was in the small print on the sign. No kidding about the small part. The clerks seemed to think it was normal that I’d be reading the small print. Again, WTH. I had been planning this as a regular stop when nearby; not now.

Oooo! @hollydolly I just saw this. Love love love it! And pockets! Yay! There should be a law requiring pockets in all women's clothing.

Got this from target.com; put it in the computer room to do crafting on top and can store craft supplies underneath. They called it a console table--they used to call them sofa tables--and it's great for small areas (this one is about 30 inches high by about 47 inches long by 18 inches deep. I love it; it's just what I was looking for.
 
Paid cash difference, bought a fully loaded a 2023 Kia Soul. Sold some of the stock at a decent rise in value that we had bought earlier just for the purpose to buy a new car so we have no payments. Because this brand has a 10yr. warranty on the expensive stuff, It's long term thinking on this.

At our age this will probably be the last car needed, hope not but as always, planning ahead.

In the 60's this style of 'coffe table'' was very popular.. with the magazine rack underneath too
 
Well with Brand new windows.. and a new Kia paid with cash... I'm a bit of a let-down following on... :LOL:..I ordered a new flat sheet for my bed because I;m having problems currently being unable to stretch enough to put the usual fitted ones on....that'll arrive tomorrow... and today I bought a white linen 3/4 sleeve blouse..
