What have you bought recently?

@Jules @Pappy I already posted about getting a iPad pro back in November, and after Jules got hers.
I'm glad you like yours as well, Pappy.
I'm quite often unsure about buying new tech stuff.......but hearing you're both happy with the iPad pro you've bought.......i think i made the right decision in my iPad pro.
Thanks for sharing your input.
 
Hi Pappy,

I bought (are you ready for this) a Memory Foam mattress. One with a cooling gel in the top layer. I researched, read personal reviews etc. and decided the price was ok if it failed me. It didn't (so far, about 2 weeks now), and it is so much better than the one I've been sleeping on for at least 3 years. I can't really review it yet because my lower back got to bothering me (before I got the new one), and my hip. I'm feeling a bit better, but I also took up stretching, and some other easy exercises on a mat. I also still walk quite a bit specifically for exercise and burn calories.

I wanted to make a thread about it to see if others have tried that sort of mattress yet but yours works for me ;) Also, now I'm looking into a hand-held vaccume specifically good with pet-hair :p 💕 PS I forgot to mention I buy almost all my goodies on Amazon or Ebay. Our town is small with little shopping. We do have some great grocery stores though thank goodness ;) The mattress came from amazon and I am looking at the vaccumes there as well ;)

I posted this on the wrong thread soooo, posting again. 🤣

I put a down payment on my puppy. Then went on Amazon and bought a 26” wire folding crate which came with a cover, two dishes, a pull tug, two chew toys, and a bed. Also bought a puppy play pen which should fit till she is about 6 months old.

A few toys, need to buy more, and puppy treats. Bella is a cowboy corgi, dad is corgi and mom is a miniature red heeler and I have been reading up on raising and training both breeds. Will try and train her as a service dog, of course.

Now I really need and want my stimulus check since I have spent it already. 😂 Plus while I got an 8 dollar raise in SS and I don’t think it will cover my purchases. Husband didn’t like the name I chose, no surprise there, but he likes Bella so naming the puppy Bella.

Edited: checked my checking account account again, got stimulus money, now I feed the puppy 🤣

If you can find one, the old-fashioned baby playpens from the 70's are ideal for such.
 
Today we went grocery shopping so we don't have to do it again for several weeks, being as we're in Tier 4 lockdown... Still can't work out how the car parks were packed to the gunwales yet there was hardly anyone in the store.. :unsure:.. stores were cleared out of fresh veg but otherwise they had everything in stock surprisingly..

Filled up my tank with petrol as well.. tonight at 11pm we leave the European Union, so no-one has any idea if we're going to suffer shortages, and price hikes, particualrly with regard to food .. so my freezers are full to capacity now until everything settles down

Aside from that... Yesterday I got a couple of thermal long sleeve T-shirts..in pink, and navy blue..

It's like getting a tooth pulled to get me out to the grocery store so I try and stock up when I go too Holly ;) Glad you got'er done. I almost did the "order groceries" online (then go pickup, they bring it to your car) thing when this first started, but, I worried about not accepting the substitutes which on some things, I just won't. So I just stood in line as we did have to do that at Walmart for a time. We also have a Safeway, and Grocery Outlet. I love our GO but trouble is you find a brand you like, or anything you like, and it isn't there the next time.

That's a huge deal, leaving the EU. I just include the whole world in my prayers as it's just overwhelming all the things we so easily hear about or "see" because of our technology. I'm wandering off topic but I tried to imagine what it would be like not to know so much. Better off I think, for me, hugs sweet lady, Denise
 
My new welly boots arrived yesterday so I'm going to wear them in about an hour while walking the dogs over the neighbours' fields...

Had a new pair of leggings with stirrups arrived yesterday too , tey are much more ideal for wearing with boots, save the leggings riding up the leg...

Have you tried the fur-lined tights from M&S? SO warm and comfortable!
 
I bought the last snuggle puppy in the county maybe in the world since chewie.com is out of them as well. Got it at Petsmart. If it does not keep Bella quiet at night, well, I still have duct tape. Always worked on the children. 😮

Also went to the bank, a grocery store, Costco, another grocery store, and a department store.

I didn't know they still made what I call "stirrup pants"! I will have to look for them. I loved those.
 
I've just ordered online groceries. I didn't usually do that, much as I hate grocery shopping I prefer to go to the supermarket myself and choose my own, but the govt have tightened up restrictions again in supermarkets so I'm not prepared to stand outside in the freezing cold in a queue of 100 people waiting for ages to get into the store to find empty shelves...

This order is basically just to top up the pantry in readiness for shortages created by Brexit as well.. not very much stuff, but it saves me having to go... just herbs and sauces , condiments etc and some bread products
