Spare $2000 what would you buy with it

[Amy :-)]

Now that you mention it Den, I think I need one of those too... if we put our money together we could buy one and share it

[SueJen]

Would buy 2 new bowls for thermothingy, then could keep cooking - put the rest away for forumthermothingy 2013.

Hey Amy how is your hair - what colour and how short? Your gran loves your long hair (loved)

We would just have to plan our races so we didn't both enter the same one.

$2000k is not much money. All these things can be given to your friends cos often we know how to grant wishes if we extend stuff a little. It just doesn't have to be people who are "needy" just do stuff for your friends to bring a smile to their face. Sometimes one mans trash is another mans gold. Reallocate your rubbish or make something foodwise for your friends etc. It doesn't have to cost alot of money as we have proven by the goodie bag what we know about making people smile eg. knit a mug warmer, make a home preserve, bring some fruit, have a joke ready, be prepared to lift someone out of a seat and help them to the bathroom and back. If I think back on all the stuff I have bought and put on the verge I shrink in shame but I really think about my purchases now. It doesn't take $2k to make someone smile, and boy does it make you feel good for much longer than a $2k purchase perhaps we should put a challenge out here to see what we can do yeah? and its no competition to out do each other its just putting a smile on someone elses face other than our own

So true CP63, looked at a video on you tube today called 365 grateful where a woman photographed and documented a little thing that she was grateful for every day for a year. Quite touching and something many other people have caught up on.

Much of what makes life worthwhile isn't bought with $.

Buuttttt,  there is always room to dream and save for what makes life good for us, so go for it!  Most of us are already putting in so much for others that a little reward is deserved (financial or non-financial).

Paying it forward it  what I always try to do. I take something someone has done for me in a small way an look for an opportunity. Sue Jen was kind enough to help me off the bus last weekend. Yesterday, even tough I have an aversion to mums with kids in strollers I made a point of helping  a mum with a twin stroller  trying to manage them into the loo at the shopping centre. I even waited with the kids while she had a pee.  I realised how hard that was for  on her own. 

So I thank you Sue Jen again.  The mum could not have been more grateful. I told her to pass  pass it forward ? She promised she would help an old lady when needed . I was a bit pissed off. LOL!

Anyway it is the  small gestures that put a smile on people's faces .  CP is right  it is not about the money to buy up big and small  gifts can make a difference .  Just the same I want a HMP!

I love this, so glad I started it.

 Wonder i would take my HMP to work, and cook there, and have the TMX at home, then both home on weekends.  i am taking my ice c ream machine to work Monday for the kids in the afternoon.

I do pay  forward too, I help my parents so much.

I am cooking next weekend  for the bowls club my parents are in.
Cakes, biscuits, jams, lemon butters, scones  and more.

We help so many people with our shop, a lot of ladies that need pumps fixed, and their DH have passed on.
An old couple up the road I bake for, we do a lot for them, no charge.   

keep them coming.

[gertbysea]

That is the way obbie. You feel good , they feel good. Doesn't cost much and  you are teaching the kids  that life is about sharing.

[Emme]

Still thinking on this one

This is something I like doing when I can too Gertbysea 

My wishlist if I had $2000 spare would be...

To buy a studio lighting kit
Backdrop stand
Cloth backgrounds
Cheap table to put in front of the backdrop stand.

It will eventuate as soon as other more important things are completed here.

[obbie]

Foxx are you into photography..

Hi and welcome too.

[Foxx]

Hi Obbie..

Yes I am.Its something I ve been into for a while and my directions always change.Used to like food photography but it got a little too boring for me plus I didnt think I was any good at it.Now I have ventured into outdoor scenery shots and lately I wouldnt mind doing something along the line of portrait shots.

Oh,and thank you for the welcome too.

Hey Amy how is your hair - what colour and how short? Your gran loves your long hair (loved)

I LOVE my new hair Sue I hope nana does too when I see her next I got a dark brown base colour, and blonde and a couple of different shades of brown foils. The style has a side-part and sits just under my ears A couple of people have told me it makes me look very grown up I will post a photo soon, as soon as my eyes look normal again after a night of only 2 hours of sleep
(Loving the smileys!!! )

Now that you mention it Den, I think I need one of those too... if we put our money together we could buy one and share it

We would just have to plan our races so we didn't both enter the same one.

I reckon we could manage that

$2,000 doesnt buy a lot these days.

I would probably out it with my secret stash, which has now been depleted

I would use it for something or on someone totally extravagant but to bring happiness.

So at this stage it would be stashed away for a rainy day.

Maybe throw my friend a small part when she is cancer clear.
