your most exciting recent purchase

My phone for my bday!

Hmm my Zumba that I bought a few weeks ago..and my new gum paste tool set. Oh oh! Forgot I got a new Sidekick 4G yesterday too! :happy:

Three come to mind:

1) New uber expensive glasses (it was the special thin, non-coke bottle lenses that made them so costly).

2) My first ever pedicure, in which I have discovered that I have very cute feet!

3) A new (to us) Larson speed boat which has provided our family with lots of on the water fun this summer.

My Polar HRM that I bought today!! I've been wanting one FOREVER!

My size 16 super skinny jeans!! I tried on a 14 they went 'up' but would have been too tight but I'm getting there! I was a size 22 again after having my baby! :embarassed:

Oh and the other thing I didn't buy I was given.. but as a person who could never wear wellies or long boots to ride in.. I was given a brand new pair of full length riding boots that FIT!!! They're 'normal' and they fit me!!! :laugh: So yes.. they made me very happy! lol I just need to get them comfy but I'm determined to do it! lol

For me, it's the used but in great condition Versaclimber I picked up from Craigslist.

Several years old, but hardly used. Got it for about 35% the retail value.

Am LOVIN it. Great cardio workout.

Size 6 jeans! I scanned the size label as a trophy:

today i bought 3 pairs of pretty circle lenses (I'm pretty certain i will FINALLY have found thee pairs after much trial and error ^o^)
1 whitening sleeping face mask
5 face masks (3 for my mom for gifts)
new bb cream
lip stain

>_< I'm planning on buying a new purse and a tablet..but after missing the hp firesale when i was in san francisco i feel too depressed to buy one yet (but i have a $115 best buy gift card so...).

right now i am deciding which purse to buy...lv multicolore or vernis or a juicy couture or tory burch bag >_<

Took my daughters school shopping at Shopko about 2 weeks ago and found a great shoulder bag. $30 bucks on sale. Money is super tight, and I never impulse buy. I make myself wait, and if after a week, I'm still thinking about the item, I go back and get it.

Went back yesterday, and I couldn't find the shoulder bags...but wait. They were on a different rack. They had been marked down another 10 bucks. Don't mind if I do.

Color me fabulous with my new shoulder bag.

3 week European railcard, can't wait to go travelling xD

IMR-4064. Time to see what the K98 can do!

Venetian glass champaign flutes.....while in Venice! About two months ago.

Just yesterday I got THIS SEASON'S $800 Coach bag for $300. It's perfect for what I've been looking for for months now. Looks just like a big purse so I can use it all the time, but big enough to hold my laptop when I travel for work and my heels (I like to walk to the office from my hotel when in Chicago). I'm in love with it.....

I am a store snob (in a different way .... I work for Goodwill -- and know the good stuff that comes in (yeah, really) I have been having dreams of me losing my weight and going on a big shopping spree at goodwill stores -- my dream has me going to several stores in "good neighborhoods" and only finding polyester pants and stained t- shirts - :sad:
I call the director of retail that informes me that that is what people are buying :frown: so that is what they are stocking cholthes like that :noway: While I do plan my "big shopping spree to be goodwill based" -- hope my dream doesn't come true

Helga!

Drooling.....wanna buy me one too!!??

I found the most absolutely 100% perfect "little black dress" - it was in a "dress agency" shop in a local town. OK I know that "dress agency" is posh for second-hand shop LOL but it fits me brilliantly and it's exactly what I've been looking for. Turns out that new it would have probably cost about £120-£140.... so also a bargain at £40.

Second most exciting purchase is a new Shock Absorber Run sports bra LOL.
