THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Wonder]

Hally I'm looking at the KA Cook Processor.  I really like some of the things it has that the TM5 doesn't so rather than getting a second bowl for my TM5 when it comes out I'm thinking I might get the KA. I'm not 100% but won't hurt me to save some money up.

DH bought me the phillips pasta machine and a new fridge today.

Lucky you robyn. The pasta maker is brilliant and so much fun to use.

Wonder, I have been saving $1 and $2 coins for years - harking back to the days when we started our business and had no money for ourselves, I started squirreling away the 1s and 2s and, at the end of the year, we had enough for a holiday.  It is now an obsession and every so often I buy ourselves something special with whatever I have saved up ... currently been saving my dollars for approx. 1-2 years now for a special birthday present for DH.

Great idea about saving coins.  Don't think it would work for me as the little cash that we have goes mostly on parking meters when we go to the city. I buy most things on my card and pay it all off at the end of the month.
My mum used to empty her purse out at the end of each week and save this money. She would buy something special when she had enough.

I do it on a daily basis Chookie, all coins go into different containers and I bank it just before Christmas to help with festive season expenses.

[Wonder]

Chookie, I must be a little like you. I've realised how little cash I use these days, I haven't added a single coin in the last week to my jar. I'm now thinking I'll have to look for things around the house to sell its n gumtree 😀

Very few coins here too Wonder. The few coins I have I preserve for parking meters and Aldi trolleys!

our coins go for tuckshop for kids ,

Very few coins here to wonder, my money box takes twice as long to fill than it use to. My phone case has room for a couple of cards, it's so much easier to just grab that when I pop to the shop.

Gert my Samsung smart tv arrived yesterday, the little time I had to play with it before we went out and I'm loving it. The picture quality is fantastic. I also took out another extended warranty, we were so impressed with the service we received for the insurance company. One week turnaround. Can't complain about that.

Glad it worked out well Jen; we also have a Samsung smart TV new but unfortunately the operators are not that smart and we just use it like a normal TV. I agree that it has a very good picture and brightness compared to our old Panasonic (about 30 yrs old) which we also thought was good.

Enjoy your new telly Jenny.

I really need another cake tin like a hole in the head, but then this one is square and I couldn't resist it.

[judydawn]

We have to have every shape and size cookie
