Good timing!

I bought bras, a house number plate and some letter stickers, vaccum cleaner belts, tampons, mouthwash, lens solution, moisturizer, diet coke, a padlock, D batteries and chips.

CONGRATS Jay!

Last Friday I bought a used hydraulic forging press. It should be here on Friday. They will load it into my truck at the freight terminal. I'm excited and terrified that I have to rent a forklift to get it out of the truck and into my garage....

Clodfobble · 08-22-2011, 07:22 PM

Today I bought digestive enzymes, 3 new CDs for myself, a new immersion blender, and a real watch for Minifob.

grynch · 08-23-2011, 03:37 AM

two cups of coffee and a croissant ( yes breakfast ) but give me a chance.. it's only 9.30am.

Does that make it a fob watch?

Nothing.
Yesterday I bought a HUGE baking potato (big enough for Mum, Dad and me), a red onion and a tin of chopped tomatoes. That was for baked sardines with layered potato and onions.

Today I am marinating salmon with ingredients already purchased (and used often).
Mum bought the salmon, but it was a freezer pack, so bought weeks ago.
It's a bit of a cheat, but I feel good about not spending anything anyway.

grynch · 08-23-2011, 09:57 AM

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh baked sardines...."dreaming of Greece"

Sundae · 08-23-2011, 10:15 AM

They were really yummy!

Mum is happy to buy the protein if I supply the sides, and more importantly cook them

She's come round to the idea that although I cook differently, she actually enjoys what I make, or at least employs constructive criticism, which I can take without rancour.. (usually)

Happiness all round.

Salmon with ginger, spring onion and soy sauce tonight.
Oops, perhaps this should be in the recipe thread!

7 yards of elastic cord,

and then 30 minutes later I did it again.

A 12oz CO2 tank, two pairs of shorts and two belts.

Five bananas, four "pink lady" apples, some Crazy Jack figs, a granary loaf and a pot of peach and wholegrain yoghurt.

grynch · 08-25-2011, 04:57 AM

mrs. G bought one of these placards last night.. now we just have to put it up in a location where the neighbourhood dogs will see it.

A ticket for the homecoming dance and the class shirt, and a student athletics pass. Bloomin' hemorrhaging money I am
