Are you going shopping?
A thread for all the happy shoppers. Tell us what is on your shopping list or what you just bought.
I'm in agony waiting for my latest internet order. I bought some lovely wooden chess pieces and some real wood chess boards. Ever since then time seems to have stopped. |
I've done some excellent un-shopping. Bought stuff on the internet, had a look and taken it back. I've got my eye on a couple of shirts - I'm into colour and I want colour.
I need a new 'puter shortly. I was going to raid the sales but don't think my finances are quite ready for it. |
I just got through watching the movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer the other day, Jan. I didn't know you were a chess player. My brother, Tom (r.i.p.) started teaching me how to play chess when I was a kid.
I'm keeping an eye out for a shelf to keep my glass pieces and healing gemstones on. |
I went shopping during boxing week and got a beautiful dress, a couple t shirts, a tank top, a new game (Fairytale Gloom) and an expansion for another game (original Gloom), a couple new articles of gym clothes.... some new undies.... I think that's it?
|
When I was a kid I was pretty good at chess. But haven't really played much for years now. Suddenly I got the bug and I want to try and play again. I bought a 'Go' set too. Anything to break up the long and idle days.

Mine arrived today.... |
Yes for furniture. I have my eye on a tempurpedic mattress and a wooden bed frame, a night stand, a few other bedroom items. And of course lots of art to hang on the walls. I want to cover 60-70% of my room with posters and art.

Another set of chess pieces! Bright colourful ones. (Ivory and Red lacquer)
|
I hope that's not real ivory Honza!:icon_frown:
Still, a chess board sounds nice, I wouldn't mind a nice backgammon set myself. I'm not on the look out for much of interest at the moment. I did though buy a new dictionary from a charity shop for 50p, which was like new, what a saving!:smile: |
No, Ivory lacquer.
|
Good to hear!:icon_thumleft:
|
I've got the tracking number for that chess set which was sent to me from America. British Customs have been sat on my parcel for 5 days now and they still haven't cleared it. A real killjoy. I'm getting annoyed about it now.
|
No I do not have money to afford it. Only thing I buy is bread and some vegetables.
|
The chess set arrived eventually but because they did not pack it correctly it was damaged. Since then I've received two replacement pieces and it is okay now.
No shopping for me for a while - back to saving. |
I mostly buy just food.
|
Can this thread be for disgruntled shoppers? :)
I really need to go food shopping but I'd much rather go back to bed...I am so freakin' cold right now all I want to do is go back to bed and hibernate for a while... Ughhh...off to town I go ;P |
I just bought some ripped jeans and a white leather vest ... I also realize I am addicted to sneakers and can never find the perfect pair ... I desperately need some good running shoes with a real cool design. Nike is so tempting but I think they look pretty ugly :((

Saucony is a nice athletic brand to shop for. |

I am the same way, I am not a shoe person, but I do take forever to buy the perfect sneaker. As far as design, Nike has fallen off the past couple of years. Their designs are looking chunky or they have bright distracting colors.Right now it's the fabric design thats in. Adidas Supernova's are flattering. I know Mizuno makes a really fantastic running worthy shoe, and personally I think they look sharp on runners. They are expensive :( Definitely on my X-mass wish list. :cool: |

Velcro Orthopedics :icon_mrgreen: |
@clover yes chunky is the right word :p I think what makes Nike so popular these days is the culture. Went into the Nike store the other day and OMG the colors made me feel like in a candy shop :p ... @wolfgaze hahaha what about my fashion guru image?? ... Saucony and mizuno hmmm quite nice!!!

I did enough shopping to last me a lifetime, lol.
Grocery shopping a few days ago. Picker up the rest of my Easter stuff on Saturday afternoon. Yes, I still need to go out today for a few more groceries and a new mop and more cleaning cloths and dish rags. Interesting, eh? |
Quote:
Same here. I don't have the luxury of going shopping just for fun and don't crave it either. |
A bottle of Sloe Gin from Amazon. I've always been curious about this liqueur and apart from some homemade stuff I tried many years ago I've never had any.
|
Going to get some printing done of some drawing I did......it is a map for a game.
|
Mostly food or laundry detergent. How exciting. I've got some books on occasion. Oh, I bought a 3' (or more) stuffed giraffe for my new grandson to be and other baby shower gifts. (his mom adores giraffes, so maybe it's more for her lol)
|
Wow a 3ft giraffe!
|
I am expecting a large Crystal Quartz in the mail today, I can't wait!
Browsing through amazon this morning. I am thinking of buying some Soul Journal Coloring books by Deborah Koff-Chapman.This artist specifically likes to do a touch/finger paint technique. Pretty groovey 4 stars! |
Got two parcels in "Customs clearance delay"......they are not for me. They are to be presents for a friend. He could have had his prezzies this morning, but now he'll have to wait. Sigh.
|
That exciting feeling you get when your anticipated brown box is delivered at your front door. When I get a fresh new Amazon box, I feel like singing like THIS
Got some new fresh cards.. |
One of those parcels that I was waiting for (which was a chess set for my neighbour) has been sent back to the shipper and the Customs and Excise are looking into it! Apparently the Indian company which sold me the chess pieces put a very low value on the package to avoid customs charges and now Customs want to see a proper invoice!
Me and my neighbour are sort of bemused that this happened to his order....lol. Typical. |
