Today I bought....

[Clothescloth]

On Saturday afternoon I ordered The L’Occitane TSV, Gatineau 2 pots of face masks offer, and a pack of 5 led key rings. L’Occitane arrived on Monday, Gatineau on Tuesday, and key rings on Wednesday. Pleasantly surprised!

Today I didn't buy this! Chloe Everton is shrieking her head off that this would be perfect for a wedding. Eh? My Auntie Vera (old and large) used to wear these kinds of things along with a Hilda Ogden style hair turban. She's on drugs (Chloe, not Auntie Vera). This is hideous and £55 to boot. Sorry if you bought it (but surely not to wear to a wedding).

What’s with the BA sitting on the chair whilst CE dances around her? She is Simon Wilson’s right hand woman and like Lola arose Anna knows her stuff but dear god they are very very hard to listen to.
She is a very striking woman (who looks much much younger than she must be judging by the length of time she has worked forSW) but she is obviously a city girl with absolutely no conception of life outside of London.

Not a lot of design expertise needed for that shapeless number, imo.
I avoid Q these days and really only look at the forum of Q website (as hopeless as it is, it doesn't shriek banalities at me and does contain a modicum of relevant information). I certainly avoid Chloe, who seems to think it's her job to talk down the clock on the allocated time without ever saying anything useful about the product she's supposed to be selling!

I hardly ever have it on and the very few times I do it is on mute

I see Julia sporting this top on the 2pm show

Don't like to boast (but I'm going to anyway) ...

I suspect a lot of people will have rethinks about travelling over Christmas and as a result a lot of presents will be in the post, so my wrapped presents were all posted off yesterday at huge expense, it has to be said, but still, they've gone and won't be held up in any logjam. No more Christmas buying here.

Our older daughter lives 90 miles away, our oldest grandchild will be 7 at the start of December, I've sent her gifts & will send the Christmas box tomorrow, heaven knows what that parcel will cost because it contains a 150 piece wooden jigsaw

Just hope it doesn't get damaged! Imagine if it arrives with fewer than 150 pieces

I have to post to my sister and no matter what I tell myself about postage often in desperation at getting a suitable gift I purchase something which is expensive to send and that’s annoying because the postage amount added to the gift would have been a better value item.
A store gift voucher is ok now and again but you can’t repeat it every time and I got caught out with an experience voucher which because of lockdown has gone belly up.

That's pretty damned grim isn't it..and yes it is totally "auntie Vera wear"..Totally reminds me of my mate's old aunt and uncle we used to visit when we in our teens, 'cause she always had hoards of chocoate in,and always offered us a nip of baileys. She was a very large lady and was always sat on her chair wearing something very similar to this, supping on port and brandy..I remember most of her decor was similar to this..all chintzy and embellished...everything down to the box of tissues that was housed in this plasticky gold plated filigree box. She always sat with her legs wide apart and you could see the stomach drooping down between them, the dress couldn't hide that..she was auntie Elsie! Who would wear this to a wedding fgs!...Auntie Vera and Auntie Elsie..that's who!

The fabric on that dress reminds me of the chiffon scarves many women wore back in the 60`s. My Mum had a couple of them and if you ever went into a clothes shop and wanted to try something then the assistant would frequently give the customer a chiffon scarf to tie around their neck so as to stop face powder getting onto the clothes. Back then facepowder was a daily go to for the older ladies along with red or bright pink lipstick. Mum would whack out the powder compact containing her Max Factor creme puff powder and Max Factor lippy everytime she left the house but never wore eye shadow or mascara in her life.
If someone had just had a wash and set or a perm at the hairdressers then the chiffon scarf would be worn until they got home because the chiffon was light and wouldn`t flatten the hairdo and it was nothing unusual to see women wear a chiffon scarf over their hair rollers usually on a Saturday daytime and then the rollers would be taken out and the hair styled and welded into place with Belair hairspray for their night out at the bingo, the pub or the nearest Working Mens club. My Mum had the same hairstyle all of her life ie almost identical to the Queen`s, mind you to me she was always a Queen amongst women anyway !

I caught a few minutes of his “jewellery“ show and he said that she’d hurt her leg.

I'm currently shopping like mad on Aliexpress and in Europe online in anticipation of Brexit that comes in place on 1 January, doh!

OH wanted a necklace of red beads.

Red bead shops are probably not classed as essential, so I ordered on line.

It is a one-woman business, about 20 colours of beads to choose from (glass) and made especially in any length you want. Can also make matching bracelets and earings.

Very reasonable cost, PP a capped £2-50.

If any good when I receive it, I will post the link.

I've been tempted with this at 1/2 price clearance, I'm sure I can think of other things to use it for.

Nicki (I think) the B&W BA was also wearing a hideous get up but because she always looks lovely she just about managed to get away with it. Wish I'd seen CE in the Auntie Vera/Elsie get up

Today I bought a new microwave (boring) and just a few seconds ago a LRose bracelet at a bargain.

I shouldn't laugh but after the conversation I had with my daughter this evening I need light relief. The birthday gifts parcel was really well packed, I'd saved up a fair amount of Eco Flo starch chips & packed them around all the boxes & had wrapped everything thing really securely - I hope it takes ages to get open

I think a red bead shop sounds delightful & essential is a subjective word.

Dinah the outside cat, she is semi-feral and won't come in. This past week 3 half-eaten mice left on my porch, yes the backend, tail and legs.

I adopted my Mum’s neighbour’s cat a few years ago (long story). I had a mouse problem in the garage and he loved catching them. He’d come trotting indoors with one in his mouth - always head first so that the mouse rear end and tail would still be hanging out. The vision of those tails disappearing into his mouth remains with me long after the old boy went to moggie heaven.
