Eglu Go Up (with 2m run) - South Wales

[Louise]

Okay with all of the omlet shopping sprees we have had recently I thought I would start a wee thread on what you bought when you went out for something completely different

 

I will get the ball rolling

 

I went to the shops last Wednesday to but a bottle of Tia Maria, a bag of Madeleine cakes and a bag of potatoes total cost about £20

 

I came home with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The above plus 12 bottles of wine, some handmade cards and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A robotic vacuum cleaner

 

Total cost nearly £250

 

Go on beat me what have you bought

[Egluntyne]

A robotic vacuum cleaner!!

 

Any good?

[Louise]

Brilliant I don't know how I managed without one for so long

 

She is a Roomba 530 and my dad has called her Mimi the french maid

 

One thing though I now have a machine that does the vacuuming all you have to do is press one button and he STILL won't do the hoovering for me

[Cinnamon]

Hubby & I went to Tesco just before Christmas for a few foodie bits & pieces, & came back with a big flatscreen TV for the bedroom

We had no intention of getting one,it just sort of happened.

It has actually been a godsend - I have restricted all gaming to that TV, so don't have to hear the children playing at all

[Snowy]

Sounds great Louise!

 

Many years ago I went to the butchers for a pound of sausages and came home with a lime green Austin Allegro

 

(The car dealership was next door to the butchers and I was fed up my then Renault 5. Sadly the Allegro wasn't to be - OH made me cancel the deal Probably wisely )

[Louise]

 

Impressive Snowy

 

See I knew I wasn't alone

[The Dogmother]

Not on the same scale at all... at the end of last summer, I went out to get ONE replacement hen

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

 

came back with THREE

 

Bet a few of us have done that!

[Cinnamon]

But thats just NORMAL Clare

I defy anybody to beat that!!

[Mel (& Paul)]

When I was 17 I went into a shop to buy a shirt for my brother and came out with a husband.............

Well, ok, it took us three years to actually get married

[The Dogmother]

But thats just NORMAL Clare

 

I know; I'm afraid that I'm not much of an example - I'm pretty strict about not buying on impulse.

[CatsCube]

I can beat you, I went out to get wallpaper paste and booked my wedding instead.

 

I was getting really miffed off with not being able to hang the wall paper and the house I was renovating and it all going wrong, decided to let of some steam and get some more wall paperpaste and supplies, so stopped off home to get my purse etc, and thought I would sit and have a break first and went on the computer, and somehow ended up booking my wedding. OH got home from work and I told him we were getting married in 4 months time and I had booked it and the honeymoon. I then proceeded to show him where etc. (I must stress the point that we were engagded but had not made any plans for getting married prior to that day.)

 

Oh and on saturday I went shopping with the OH for him to get some glasses, I wasnt going to buy anything but somehow bought 2 pairs of glasses, a coat, boots, 2 tops, a pair of trousers and a necklace.

[Mel (& Paul)]

Like your style

[One Man Banned]

Nice to see you back Mel

 

When we moved in here our heating packed up - in getting another company to fix the first guys bodge, we ended up with a new fireplace and fire installed and the central heating fixed too.

 

Still, it's lovely!!

Went out for some horse feed and oystershell...came back with

[Egluntyne]

Well that matches Snowy's spur of the moment purchase.

 

I didn't think it could be done!

[little chickadee]

We went on holiday .........................

 

and put an offer in for the cottage we were staying in.

We said that we'd be back every year and they told us we couldn't as they were just about to put it on the market. ....

All fell through in the end as they backed out. I'm really glad it did, although we were distraught at the time. This way we've still moved, but I'm nice and close to my family

[The Dogmother]

Wow Rhapsody - that takes some beating!

[chelsea]

we are very impulsive.

 

We went to hardware superstore for plug sockets and ended up test driving and putting a deposit down on a 6 month old Land Rover Freelander!!!

[Egluntyne]

How wrong I was to say that no-one was going to beat Snowy!

 

That matches beautifully!

 

I've been pondering about Louise's Robot Vacuum cleaner all day.

 

I've even watched a video on 'tinterweb.

 

It could be cleaning while I'm on the forum.

 

Is this another example of the Omlet effect!

Repeat after me: I do not need .........

Oh no, here we go again I do NOT need a robot vacuum cleaner, vacuuming keeps me fit!)

 

I found this thread so funny, you guys are so awful I sometimes wish I wasn't so sensible with money, the only things I ever do are so tiny like going out for a black jumper and coming back with a red hat

You could always name it after Him Indoors to make the hint subtle

 

I bet that Biscuit would love to ride on one - he always tries to get on the hoover.

Forgot to say, called the pickup Disco Tex to annoy OH (he feels like a right burke driving it)

One way to stop him driving your car!

 

How about putting some horns on the front and a stetson on the roof?
