THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

Gretchen that is so tidy. I have my plastic assortment stacked nicely, but if anyone else puts things away it becomes very untidy. Like my cake tins and trays. I'm the only person who can stack them so they don't fall out. 
I'm not sure if I have an obsession. Maybe buying books. I will read them all one day. Possibly shoes.

Well I survived the shopping trip with the kids. They were excellent.
And I got my rubber gloves lol.

I wish I had an obsession, but they have all been put on hold or are too expensive.

I've tried to be obsessive about cleaning but that didn't work.

All spare money is going towards finishing the renovations.  This month we have ordered the shelving for the pantry.  Yeah, this means I can find things rather than having it all piled up on the bench.

I don't know if it is at all Coles, but at the Castle Hill Coles they had a stand with lots of books for $5 each.  I got Marion Grasby's cookbook - and they had heaps! 

Don't know if she would be too impressed with being in the bargin bin already!

I just got these two.  Like I really need another cookbook....

No shopping for me...just been scammed by a new Nigerian based scammer. Was a new scam according to police and other parties that I contacted once we had done further investigation after I have been contacted by the bank for a credit card transaction dispute. Unfortunately I had refunded scammer money a month later when it is picked up by the cardholder Iam liable for the cardholders debt and the bank just went *phoosh* back to the cardholder and now I am out of pocket. Happy scammer is still scamming still as my IT people have done a little snooping since I alerted them. Unfortunately for me I am really out of pocket due to online payment system. Let my lesson be your lesson, that if you accept payments through the EFTPOS or ONLINE booking system - DO NOT REFUND MONEY TO ANY OTHER ACCOUNT OTHER THAN THE ACCOUNT THAT THE PAYMENT WAS MADE TO.  My Scammer paid in full for a service that I provide (ie. private holiday home accommodation rental) and 10 days later advised that he was involved in a fatal accident that killed his mum, and seriously injured his wife and needed to cancel the booking. It was to celebrate an anniversery. As an only child he had to pay for his mums funeral, and once his wife was better they would arrange another holiday through me. Unfortunately his credit cards were  lost in the accident, and as he needed to pay for the funeral expenses please refund to this bank account. What sort of hard-ass person would want a mother to lie in a morgue while I argued that it contravened the booking conditions??? Under the circumstances I refunded to the bank account...and through the course of this, I did actually speak to this SOAB
Be aware. Do not trust anyone. Most importantly any refunds have to go back to the SAME ORIGINATING account.
