Big w have a couple of different sizes of the ball jars.  They also have the funnel, tongs, starter kit, preserving kit, book and dissolving labels.  All the stuff is on their website.  I love these jars!  Check out the weck jars as well.  Really gorgeous , wheel and barrow have them.

I haven't bought anything newsworthy recently - just posting to help to turn this thread over to page 667 so that we can hear about what CP has purchased!

Oh, hang on, I did buy a new notebook computer for work on Friday - does that count?

Ok I'm on tapatalk so it's only p333 for me :) not cooking related but in the interest of hearing about what CP bought,  I had a big shop (retail therapy really after hearing I invited a group of people over who said they couldn't come as their children were sick only to find out they met somewhere else :( ) anyway,  I started my new herb garden (sick of buying herbs) with rosemary, mint, lots of parsley, oregano, lettuces and coriander. Also bought DD a funny little pot that grows 'hair' and DH a sprout growing kit.... I guess it relates to food :)

And speaking of herbs, I have copious amounts of lemon balm... Any ideas?
Surely we are now up to 667 :)

Not yet.  Poor you Jamberie, I would have hit the bottle if 'friends' did that to me - how devastating for you.

I haven't bought anything lately which is a good thing.

Jamberie these people are not your friends  so do not give it a second thought. I find that so offensive and cowardly. One of the best things I ever learned from a story I read maybe 50 years ago was just to say no and not give excuses or tell lies.  Sometimes people are surprised when I just say no and leave it at that but they have come to respect me for not say "oh so sorry my kids are sick or I have to wash my hair".

If ever someone questions me by asking why I say because I don't want to.  No offence given  and none taken I say.

Leaves  you sad and confused when these people lie.   Not at all nice and certainly not worthy of any time spent thinking about it or them.

Sorry you had this experience.

Are we p to 667 yet CP?
