What have you bought recently?

Just bought a new carpet for my hallway. When I moved here, I wasn't expecting to stay very long, so just bought carpet for the rooms and left the hallway bare. However, I felt embarrassed every time I opened my front door. It looks so much better now!

What colour did you choose ? :)
 
This week ( as well as the usual groceries etc) I've bought, 2 new lampshades. Both large round ones in a tweed oatmeal colour for the bedside lamps..

Small pot of paint to finish off a little outdoor job

A hardback Quiz /factual book based on a quiz show we have on our TV... called Pointless!!

A rubber plant !

All at Bricks and mortar stores , not online...
 
Two things from Az, each for about 2/3 of cost elsewhere: a pale blue Vellux blanket & 2 pairs of skids for my walker (I wear out a pair about every 3 months). My apt complex has stopped accepting packages because they were swamped with them these days, and they installed an automated package locker. The catch is the want us to give a credit card no to the locker contractor so they could charge us a fee if we didn’t pick up within a certain time. I wasn’t about to be considered “guilty till proven innocent” & give a # to a co that got bad reviews on the Net. So I had the skids del to the Amazon Locker at a nearby whole foods & hav set up a “virtual locker “ at UPS store in same shopping center, where the blanket went. Currently very happy with these arrangements. Oh & a power strip at a nearby True Value where I really like the folks, and a magnifying glass from a HobLob that I don’t.

Delicious vegan mocha flavoured cheesecake with chew salted caramel dairy free ice cream.
It’s soooo good. I wish I had a picture to add but 🤤😋It’s all gone.

I do purchase some things online since they are often cheaper and depends on the item and cost of shipping. Some things aren’t worth being to ship back for a refund.

Thanks. I'm wiping drool off my keyboard.
For me, it's almost worth the overnight E.R. visit with an I.V. Insulin drip......;)

They are $13.81 Canadian Dollars for two. 😮
We have something similar except they have a rim along the lid which gets food particles stuck in there. These ones seem better designed.
Ours are made of Pyrex glass. Very durable.
 
I ''bought'' dental treatment yesterday...

I recently bought a Gold coloured Mink effect Fleece blanket for the back of the sofa... much thicker than the others we have..

How did your appointment go holly?
Did you get your tooth pulled , filled or other another type procedure done?

No the tooth wasn't pulled keesha, much as I though it might be. After an X-Ray she found that the gum is receding a little and the pain is coming from the nerve, so she put 2 layers of bonding resin over the offending tooth and the one next to it... so we'll see how that goes!

Thanks for asking.. 🥰

Oh that’s not so bad. I had a tooth I had to have that done with every 6 months and it worked really well. So much better than having it pulled.🥰

My gums are receding some also but my dentist says it’s very common for our age.
This reminds me that I need to go for my 6 month cleaning soon.

She cleaned my teeth yesterday before she put the bonding resin on them.. so I had that all included, and by the dentist not the hygienist for a change...
