What have you bought recently?

A cordless dustbuster. Amazon said I'd have it between 4 and 8 today, and sure 'nuf, it's here and charging as we speak. Yippee. I had one that died years ago and have been promising myself I'd get another one. It's a Christmas present to myself.

Also got a gold necklace with DGD's initial. I've got a small loose diamond...1/3 carat...and am going to take the necklace and the diamond to a local jeweler that we like and ask him to attach the diamond to the initial. It's going to be her Christmas gift.

And a NewYorker wall calendar for DS. Because I give him one every year and it has a funny cartoon for each month.

Two weeks until "payday" and I still have $$ left!
 

The ($770) Google Pixel 10 PRO that I Amazon ordered on Cyber Monday was scheduled to arrive tomorrow, Sunday 12/7/202. But yesterday Friday received an email stating it would be delivered today Saturday when I was planning to not be at my residence, so did not want a package with an expensive item laying against my front door. Of course, a fair amount of the time, deliveries don't occur to following days and would in any case, not spend all day at home.

So tried to abort that, including an actual phone contact with their Customer Service. Instead, they were unable due to policy of changing that at short notice to delivery. A situation they caused, not me. I've had delivery date changes in the past for which I changed delivery to their Hub Lockers, but never a change so close to delivery that they won't change. The CS person related if the unsecured smartphone is stolen, that I ought to be able to receive a replacement or refund. That is hardly ok with me, even if they are ok eating the cost. So have a letter to their CS department ready to send if that in fact occurs.

In the future, will never purchase anything expensive from Amazon with a home address delivery unless it is large, bulky without other choices.

Went to the local pig farm and bought skewers of city chicken, thick slice bacon, and chops.
Also got some beef sticks and potato salad from them.

I am thinking of knitting socks - do you use the round needles? I have them but haven't tried them yet but, I like that they would have no seams. :)

I use 4 double pointed needles. The old way, but there are new ways to knit socks from the toe up, or with circular needles which I find very confusing. Four needles gives a round seamless sock. Don't get impatient wit the 4 needles. Easy peasy.
 
remember the breadmaker I bought earlier in this thread? Haven't gotten it yet but i happened to check the order and noticed the price was $10.00 more than what it showed on the listing page?!
Amazon customer service gave me a credit by saying a bottle of Tylenol I'd ordered last time had defective packaging. Okay. Whatever works.
Hope that's the last hassle with the breadmaker. Delivery delayed till Monday.
