TK max is evil.
I went there at lunchtime just to take my fake fur yeti jacket back, (I mean for God's sake I'm 44 and it looked ridiculous), and came out with a cheeta print fake fur coat, a fleece throw and a hand held massager.

I need to get a boyfriend soon because I think I'm filling the void in my life with shopping.

What ridiculous things that you didn't need have you bought lately?

Edit - besides my mum.

I can't take a picture of myself while using the jet pack,
it's against the health and saftey instructions.

Then take a picture of someone else using it.
It's not rocket science......Hahahaha!

Your supposed purchase sounds very suspect to me then.

Where do you get your shoes from? I know a few girlies with size 8 feet that manage okay.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 18 Nov 2009, 13:17, Reply)

Next.
There are a couple of other places but that's the main one.

Most shops go up to 8 but not beyond.

Next have a good selection of shoes
as do M&S. Some of my best shoes have come from M&S :)

Bless her. Do you find it difficult to buy her Xmas pressies or is she quite easy to shop for?
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 18 Nov 2009, 13:12, Reply)

pretty easy generally
she used to be quite restrained when it came to clothes and stuff, but I've convinced her that bright and/or unusual things are good.

she didn't like to stand out I think, which is silly
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 18 Nov 2009, 13:17, Reply)

Good work!
If you're not particularly confident with the way you look its difficult to go for clothes that will get you noticed. Once you've got the confidence there, its crazy all the way! :)

Over the past few years my wardrobe has taken on dramatic changes as my confidence has grown, I used to live in jeans and silly tees, now I'm barely out of crazy high shoes and skirts, especially at work.

Not really very witty when everyone knows I would readily admit to buying a vibrator and not a massager.

( girlinthehole, Wed 18 Nov 2009, 13:13, Reply)

But you just did readily admit buying a massager.
Plus I wasn't trying to be witty, just smutty.

What I mean is.....
I would admit to buying a vibrator so why would I call it a massager?

Not sure how to bring up the subject of if he opened it as I still have the receipt.

Records. Every time.
When I get on the hunt for something it's like a temporary mania comes over me. My next acquisition will be 'Sea Shanties' by High Tide, who featured ex members of The Misunderstood and a future member of Hawkwind. It WILL be mine....


Snippet of the review on Julian Cope's site:
"an abundance of ever-screeching guitar work from Hill, and his vocabulary of distortion and interplay only surpassed by its volume. It SCREAMS of the hardest rock"

I have a tendency to buy kitchen gadgets I never use.
Last one was a deep fryer, which I've used once. Oh, and the awesome countertop wine bottle opener, but I still use the corkscrew in the draw.
