What have you bought recently?

LOL>.they wouldn't say Aubergine in the USA... they'd say Eggplant... :LOL:
When describing the vegetable itself, we call them eggplants. When describing the color we say aubergine, at least within the apparel industry.

p.s. I know eggplants/aubergines are actually fruits, botanically speaking, but they're vegetables from a practical standpoint.
 
I’ve just bought new jeans , jumpers, blouses and a new leather jacket ,
I felt I needed retail therapy ….but indoor retail therapy 🤫🙂
You will be looking stylish, I bet!
I should do the same, although I purchased a new winter coat and have yet to wear it! The temps here only require a sweater and vest for me. Talbots keep tempting me with deep sales so maybe I could find a top or two..
 
Late November I bought a very cute Christmassy elastic-edged tablecloth for my counter height, 32" diameter, glass & chrome bistro table. I was so happy with the tablecloth that I'm buying a non-holiday pattern from the same company.

It's polyester fabric and so much nicer than a vinyl tablecloth I'd bought several months ago. I never bothered to cover it before then, but 5+ years of cleaning the glass at least once a week convinced me. I'm on the lookout for a red & white checked cloth, too.

No clothes for me. There's a closet full of clothes that I rarely wear. It would be fun to live in a house and go furniture shopping or shopping for artwork or...anything, but there's nothing I need, dammit.

I just had a big clear out of my clothes that I don’t wear Georgia , all washed , ironed and taken to the charity shop, So shopping here I come LOL
 
Ordered replacement Contigo coffee mug for DH from Amazon. He started doing research and found that this style is notorious for problems. When it arrives, if he has changed his mind, I’ll return it.

I had a similar pattern tablecloth for my outdoor stone table on my terrace ... I really enjoy those cloths, and in Spain they cost very little because probably like Sunny Cali.. they are in great demand
 
it's your daughters' home where you live in the Granny extension is that right, GeeGee ?...
Yup. It's a teeny, tiny little "house" of my own. Key words being teeny, tiny. I'm being slowly squeezed out by stuff. I look around and tell myself that I need to unload some of my stuff, but what's left of my stuff is stuff that I wanted to keep. DD keeps giving me more stuff. I don't want more stuff.
 
I don't want more stuff.
Neither do I. I’m trying to free myself from more things before I’m forced to.

If I don’t need it, I don’t want it.

I did spend $2.24 (tax included) yesterday on two soap savers. They really work. I started to rinse out the old one and realized I was wasting water.

I sooo agree!
I'm slowly getting rid of the "stuff" I have. The last thing I want is more "stuff." At this point I only buy what I need. Other than for Christmas when I bought myself a few food treats.

What boggles the mind is people complaining about the cost of things, heating oil, food, gas, etc., yet they continue to buy "stuff" at an alarming rate. I don't get it. I guess it's how they comfort themselves. wassat
