What have you bought lately?

I will be buying a smart phone charging cord.

I filled the petrol tank. There is actually a motorway station on the way to work, which is cheaper than any town price.

Cheaper is of course relative. £1.42 per litre.

Groceries.

I paid my Internet provider today. They always get their money.

I bought the mid week grocery top up yesterday.

New glasses. I wanted a 2nd pair of the same prescription, so went ahead and did that. They are more of a brown-ish color this time instead of black, slightly larger, as my current pair were intended for children. I just couldn't find anything for adults that fit my face lol but this one was a bit better. The manager said she intentionally asked for more smaller glasses instead of all the giant ones that are popular because not everyone can pull that look off (ME lol).

It is car insurance time and I have just taken it out for another year. I found that I am not believing that the rate of inflation has come down. My insurance went up in a big way last year and they were asking an over 40% increase this. Shopping around a bit I did find a lower quote but it was still vasly in excess of last years prices. That is without any claims or detremental changes either. All in all my bills this year have increased substantially over previous years.

Nothing today.

Are you trying to tell us you are a pin head? 

I've bought so many things lately... After much trial and error, I've finally found a bra that fits well these days (Glamorise won out, not that I cared about lift so much as not having a uniboob). I also found that trying out a clinical strength deodorant was a huge blessing. I'm using one that's marked stress response, and it's certainly helping me stress less about sweating and reeking! Oh, the 40's are a fun age!

I bought my mum earrings for Mother's Day when there was a spring festival near home, and I bought a couple sets for myself, plus fancy bookmarks that might not be practical but they're still awesome for my collection! My kids don't buy me gifts yet, so I get to shop for myself and get some frivolous things each year for Mother's Day, birthday, and Christmas.

I have a used copy of the Northanger Abbey (2007) DVD coming for the eventual day when we're done (or almost) with our readthrough of the book. That's going slower these days because the middle guy sometimes goes to bed early rather than staying up for a readaloud time. Ah well, change in reading habits is inevitable! Yay for getting to watch a movie version soon!

And I've stocked up on extra snacking supplies for our trip out of town in June - protein bars, but also protein cookies! (Genius!) Soon I'll grab a box of dried fruit bars for that trip as well, and we have some large water containers to fill so we won't need to spend much on drinks between fast food or restaurant meals!

Elmer's glue. I was out.

I am still on my money diet.

Anyone want to join me?

I've had quadriboobs before. 

I've bought a makeup pressed powder, latex gloves, foot cream and a digital device.

I also bought a can opener for my friend.
