THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

What are measuring spoons? I use a finely calibrated hand.

Are the calibrations tattooed on DD?

Though I didn't keep the city of Adelaide afloat with my shopping today, I did pick up a few nice things;

A small black, soft leather Pierre Cardin across body bag that can be used as a clutch.   Only small but has 3 sections that can keep things like my mobile, money, lippy etc in their own little part.  Just the right size (hate worrying about a big bag when on a night out) so this one is perfect.  Can either attach the straps and wear over shoulder or just carry in my hand or under my arm.  Been looking for something like this for ages and today found it with 30% off.

Also picked up a gorgous slate blue jumper and an ivory one that are a nice length.  Most this winter are so long it's like wearing a dress.

My last purchase was a pair of distressed skinny jeans that go great with either jumper.

Your bag sounds perfect JulieO. I know exactly what you mean about evening bags. I now need one that will fit my glasses too as I can't read without them.  . Fortunately DD lends me one of hers as we rarely go out to special things of an evening.
The jeans and jumpers sound perfect too. The colours will be lovely together.

Every bit of shopping helps the economy Julie, our Adelaide shops would welcome you with open arms.
Your  new clothes sound lovely and I also like a small bag I can wear across my body  to keep my hands free for other things.

Great buys Julie. I bet you are great shopping companion as you seem to seek out the perfect item at a bargain price

And probably more accurate.

Thanks girls.   

Cornish, I've noticed lately, both here and at home that most places are offering good discounts.  I guess it's a win for us but must be hard for the businesses that seem to have to offer it to survive.

I always seem to find just what I'm looking for in Adelaide, so much to choose from.

I've just ordered skinnymixers Indian book and the ebook comes with it.

It's well done Cookie, all her recipes are tried and true.

I got mine in the mail last week, can't wait to get cooking

I bought the e-book and it looks great, the reviews are fantastic.  I have only made her butter chicken -which was amazing,  and the whole book seems very professional.

today we bought 25 white folding chairs, a bargain at $6 each, 5 large cheese boards 5 wire waste baskets, 3 concrete planters, some timber,hinges, paint,wooden coat hangers etc etc etc

All of these things are to either use for DDs wedding or to make something for the wedding.  I am over the wedding and have offered to help them elope.
