Well, we have sorted out the debts and decided we have enough to pay outright for the car and save the interest so now I have discovered that I really am a spendthrift.

It is non-stop indulgence in fripperies now, no fewer than three sieves from Wilkinsons, a new measuring jug and a wide-mouthed flask to make it easier to make yogurt, a new stitch ripper, some sewing needles, another bottle of lavender oil because the one I bought five years ago is nearly empty, dishcloth yarn because it was greatly reduced in the sale, two reels of cotton and a little bit of new patchwork material.

Is there no end to it?

I bet you enjoyed shopping for that lot :-D

Doing your bit for the economy well done Sharron :-D

You devil, you!
Just one question - why 3 sieves? :-S

That is how they are sold, in a pack of three.

I was so carries away that I forgot to mention the bag of soap nuts.

Sold in a pack of three?

Good job you weren't on the hunt for a single condom then.

I would be grateful for that too!

If you don't need 3 sieves, you can always send it over here :-D . I could use a new one. ;-) <3

Oh dear, I hope I have not triggered a lot of jealousy by bragging about my new sieves.

I fear you have Sharron

Looks very much like it.

I will never learn to not be such a show off with my status symbols.

wide-mouthed flasks and sieves 3 OF THEM that is the trouble with you Sharron you are such a show off :-P :-|



:-D <3 :-D

Should I ask what a soap nut is???? Oh what the heck.

What is a soap nut ?

I was wondering the same lol

Glad you can have some fun and will have paid the car off too
Now you can start saving for a holiday in Norfolk

Soap nuts are nuts, proper nuts that grow on a tree, and you can use them instead of washing powder.

I have not tried them yet but they are supposed to be as effective and you use two or three,which you can re-use a few times.

I might also tell you that I have another set of four sieves which came from Aldi but they are too fine to pass soup through easily. So I have only really bought the three new ones out of laziness, as you might have expected!

You would probably be very impressed by the tee-shirt I am wearing today as well. I was when I bought it in 1991!

Please tell me you washed it in that time :-D

Well,no, the soap nuts have not come yet.

Oh sorry that's right can't rush these things...

They suggest you tie them in the toe of a sock before you put them in the machine so I suppose I am going to have to buy some socks as well!

Show off :-P :-D

spend spend spend........

I wonder if I could just get the one sock. Somebody's washing line maybe?
