THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

I prefer the vodka by a mile cookie.

Thanks. I'll do the next one with vodka.

I went into a dress shop yesterday and was so confused I rang a friend (ha) and she came and helped me. They were having 70% off so we went wild and I came home with 8 new items and didn't break the bank. I have never shopped for clothes like that before as I mostly make them (or make do more like it).  I came home very happy and only a couple of things I am unsure about but at that reduction I am not worried. I was exhausted at the end.

There are lots of bargains out there at the moment troupie, I got amongst them myself yesterday.

Wow what a fabulous shopping trip troupie.

[Itsnotartitsdinner]

Wow fabulous. I'm really wanting some new clothes but struggling to find atm.

Cookie, I use Vodka as base for vanilla.
Troupie what a great shopping spree.
Today confirmed that I have a dreadful disease. It is called cookbook buying. Here I am frantically cleaning out getting ready to sell/ shift and I bought another cook book. David Herbert's Best Home Cooking.

LOL - I believe it is an extremely common and very contagious disease.

[judydawn]

Yes, you're not alone Chookie - most forum members have the same disease LOL.  You shouldn't have time to even be looking at cookbooks with what you have on your plate at the moment.

Listen to Aunty Judy, Chookie!!

Chookie I know what you mean about cookbook disease; I have a  similar disease with patchwork fabric;

After my clothes shopping, which doesn't usually happen because they don't normally fit me  as I am short and plumpish, I thought now more time for patchwork and my other little projects on the machine so more fabric needed.

I have that disease too. I bought that Womans Weekly book of Deborah Huttons. I swore I would never buy it because she's never really had a reputation for being remotely foodie

[cookie1]

Chookie you scared me for a moment. I thought you were ill.
I'm trying not to suffer that disease, I keep telling myself that there is only so much you can do with butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Also yeast, water and flour. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Now I have to own up to something I said I would never do. I am photographing the box as DD is checking out the actual appliance.

[cookie1]

I forgot to say what a bargain troupie. How fortunate.

[judydawn]

Ha ha, good one cookie. Guess what  you'll for having for dessert tonight.
