What have you bought lately?

You would probably use my wines for washing up... 

The most expensive wine I ever tried was when I was given two bottles by a patient. She had them a while, and had been a gift, but she didn't drink.

Anyway we took one to a friends house for dinner. They never opened it, so we never tried it. We opened the other the following night and it was lovely, so I looked it up, and it cost £98.

I phoned our friends telling them to cherish it due to the price lol. She replied "My husband was a little tipsy when you left, and polished off the whole bottle. He doesn't remember if it was any good."

I am not fussy on champagne. I have tried cheap and expensive, when I worked in a hotel, and it is not my drink of choice.

Mine neither although I do prefer it to that Prosecco which tends to be all the rage these days.

I don't drink at all: I've never liked alcohol.

I bought an art book and a few maps at a car boot sale. There were lots of plants but I think I can find enough of my own

I bought a new pH meter for my hot tub tyhat will double for my hydroponics.

I am shopping for dresses for my vacation and most importantly, a pair of moderate heel (2inches) sandal.

I bought a few PC games from BigFish today, since there was a sale. I've been enjoying some mobile games lately on my tablet, but I really prefer having an entire game without ads and in-game purchase options...

I also snagged two used CDs later, after I couldn't find the first in a digital music store. (I didn't try multiple options for digital purchase - so far, I just have one favourite site.)

Other recent purchases: a second folding mattress so that I can double the thickness of my bed and still have lots of spare space in the room during the day; storage crates for the closet, so I can get to some sorting and organising in the next weekend or two; and I've preordered the latest Dune movie even though there isn't a release date yet!

I bought a funky purple lipstick, soap and foot cream.

Curious.. Do tell what project are you planning with them?

We need to separate the top part of the garden to give Boo a run. He is driving us crazy, going in and out constantly.

Also my step daughter's dog is being driven to distraction by Boo constantly wanting to play. He needs a break.....

I didn't buy anything today but I am waiting for a delivery.

I got my weekly groceries yesterday too. As the mid week amount was larger than normal I was a bit busier.

On my way I called in at the Range to get some particular small artists brushes. I was a little shocked at how much they cost but it was a good brand and what I need. Cheap brushes can be Ok at times but there are times when really good ones are more useable, and they tend to last longer. It was only after I got home and checked around a bit that I found out that three of the brushes were genuine sable, not the synthetic ones in the range I was buying. They are more expensive. The only difference I found was a variation in the multi digit code number on the brush as otherwise they two types looked identical. The Range here is not best known for havind tidy displays and all the brush types were mixed and not on a dedicated stand. I determined the brush difference when I got home as I compared the prices with my usual discount online supplier. The Range actually worked out cheaper to the extent that I was getting a "sable" upgrade for the three brushes free. Buying art supplies there though tends to be a bit 'pot luck' as to what they have in.

...and it's built.

Just a temporary one, cobbled together from odds and sods. If it works, we will do it substantially.
