What have you bought today?

[Trazor]

Got about 20 over the last month, average about £480

If Trump gets in, I think Gold will soar, hanging on to my Stack.

This advert popped up at the foot of the page (although I have no idea why, as I have neither searched for nor bought footwear for years)

Isn't a "closed toe sandal" just a shoe?

What would you wear them with - socks? Shorts? Long trousers?

 

[Mottie]

A giant lorry poppy (40x36cm) from the British Legion. There’s a trend round here of putting them on lamp posts. We have a lamp post outside our house so it’s going on there.

Some "shorts" from the same site (which go all the way to the floor, obviously)

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Roasted, shelled, ready to eat chestnuts. From Home Bargains. £1.25. Loverly. Not had chestnuts since I was a nipper, and raw, eaten on the hoof. I remember that shelling them, would make my thumbnails quite sore.

 

[Brigadier]

Sea bass fillets in lime and coriander, and some tomatoes from Charlie's garden, from Waitrose

Spur of the moment - I bought myself a hip flask, don't really know why, or it's purpose, but I've filled it with brandy, it itself, not an easy task. Not even easy to take a drink from, the cap so small, that trying to take a swig, causes a vacuum, so you barely get any out at all.

Aye, you kind of have to gargle it out. Nice for winter walks. Brandy can do one though!

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Nice for winter walks.

That's what she said!

Brandy can do one though!

Mmm, she said that too..

 

[cross thread]

Rusty nail for a hip flask,makes me feel like I am playing golf better the more I have.

Bought some vet time for the dog today. She had an occasional runny poo over the last few weeks. Mrs Mottie is convinced she has a parasite so requested blood tests. £252 and that’s probably just the start of it - depending on the results, full scan next!

More vet time - just over a grands worth today. Still more to come yet - I’ve got to collect a sample of her shìt for the next three days and stump up for that to be sent off for analysis to a private clinic in the Swiss Alps no doubt! You'd think for what we paid today, they’d chauffeur someone round to do it for us!

Nah, it has to be a sample from the dog!
