What have you bought recently?

This washable silk top. It was on sale this weekend and is my favorite shade of blue. It should arrive today. Dunno where I'll wear it these days but it's a classic.

Today I bought a Cut & blowdry at the hair salon.. they were totally packed out with customers because we in England go into a month long second lockdown today . Fortunately I'd booked this appointment 2 months ago .

Our car washes had to close as part of the lockdown as of sunset tonight, so I bought a wash and valet for my car which badly needed it having had heavy rain last week..just managed to get it done an hour before the car wash closed..

Bought some new pasta bowls to match my dinner service, another deep silky fur bed for my grandfurkids.. and crimson red faux fur king size throw for one of the sofas ..

We went to the pub for the last time late afternoon, and had a late lunch and drink.. before the pubs close again tonight .
 

Today I bought some flavoured chocolate marshmallows to put away for Christmas.. some flavoured chocolates, and chocolate cake, some pastries, and some organic salmon and broccoli hot water crust pies , all from the Farm shop... also a bottle of lychee & Raspberry Gin .. not for me .. but o/h tore it open the minute we got home and had a large one, so I've had to hide it..:rolleyes:

Got a new 13 tog Duvet.... and a matching set of white marble toothbrush & toothpaste holders.. .. and a whole bunch of other stuff
 
I bought a used fridge in 2005 for $200 delivered, but it started dying recently -- milk was going sour -- so I ordered a new one from Lowe's online. I called a few local small appliance dealers first but they didn't have anything, so I was stuck with Lowe's.

They delivered it yesterday and I hate it. My old one had split shelves that you could stagger almost endlessly, new one has just three full-width shelves with not nearly enough slots to suit your needs. Old one had a rack in the freezer to store two ice cube trays, new one has nothing.

I should have looked at it closer before buying it, so I'm gonna have to learn to live with it. I just assumed it would be at least as good as my old one -- which was probably made in the '90s.

Well that sure makes my measly purchases seem paltry, but I'll add them anyway. Two 6' Elvis standups - one for each of my twin boys for their birthday. (Elvis is sort of an affectionately beloved, long standing good-natured joke in our family. They were thrilled at the idea and each chose the Elvis incarnation they preferred from a field of about 20 options.

Our family room TV - isn't "smart" and thus it's a pain to get to Netflix, Prime, and so forth. Ditto the DVD player. The process required several remote controls and perfect sequencing of button pushing. An LG 55" is only $380 during Costco's Black Friday sale, which starts Nov. 5th, so we're going to pick one up. (We'd buy the 65" at $500, but it'd be too big for our existing entertainment center unit. After going to a couple of different furniture stores we decided to live with what we've got.)

Do you have an ikea store? We got a nice entertainment center for about 200 when our other one broke during the move. You can also get ikea furniture delivered.

You can return it.

Just because you don't like it? I was wondering about this last night.

Yes, just tell Lowe’s you thought it had split shelves and was not what you thought it was. But you should be able to return it with no problem if you are unhappy. At least we can do this at our Lowe’s, but call them because I think you can replace it with a frig you can and that way they can pick up this one When they bring the new one. Don’t let too much time pass.

Done deal! I couldn't get one like my old one (split shelves, plus ice cube rack) according to the guy at Lowe's -- he said they don't make them like that anymore. Hard to believe but whatever. They probably quit the racks cuz most people get one with an ice maker nowadays.

At any rate they're bringing me a new one this week. It's taller and has more shelf slots so should be better. Plus, the door shelves can be moved up or down; that's new to me and I know it will be handy. It's costing me another $150 but that's ok. It's stainless, never had one before.

Thanks for your encouragement!
