    Wow, Donna. That was completely uncalled for. Your intention may have been to sound like a responsible adult, but all you came across was bitter.

    My recent purchases? Mostly diapers, baby food, formula and bills. But I guess I handle my money well enough that I also managed to get a new outfit to wear to my 10 year high school reunion this Saturday. (10 years? ) I also plan on getting some hair dye at Target tomorrow so everyone there can recognize me (I'm blond right now, naturally a dark brown).

    Thanks Sarah - Yep, Ki has about 4 flippys from Wal-Mart. This is one I've been wanting to get her for a while. It's a lot more durable and will last longer for sure.

    I was so excited that I finally bought something nice for myself (the purse), sorry someone had to be a kill-joy. I usually go shopping and end up putting half of my cart back by the time I got to check out. However, this is one thing my cousin wouldn't let me put back and I actually bought it. Everything else I had picked out was for the dogs or someone else.

    That makes sense, Ki seems to use her flippys a lot more than my dogs do Mine just fetch them from the pool, otherwise they could care less about them.

    I do the same thing at stores. I don't hesitate to buy things for my dogs when I know they'll enjoy them but I always hesitate for myself. I always worry that I won't get my money's worth, and then I think about how long I had to work in order to be able to afford it, and I end up putting it back I especially do that with clothes.

    Lol, Sarah, we have the same mindset when shopping. And generally I refuse to buy it unless it's on sale. If it doesn't have clearance, reduced, etc. on it it's generally not in my cart.


    Today I am buying a tile cleaning machine for my grandmother for her birthday. It's around $160 but myself, my cousin, and my parents are splitting the price between us.


    Sue, I'm so sorry about your recent happenings. {{HUGS}} to you and your family.

    Same here! I am really indecisive sometimes.

    LOL you two and I are just so alike in this!! LOL...........

    Ï can go take a lot of stuff and the put it back, then take it back then put it back again LOL until I decide the puppers need more stuff so I take mine back down and get theirs.......LOL

    recently I havent bought anything for myself, well ,yesterday I did bought hair dye LOL.......and some food.......... the rest I´ve bought was dog food, dewormer, bird food................you get the idea......... and besides I always get some cute things for someone I have in mind a the time..........

    sometimes I also get convinced and splurge in myself, i work for it you know, so sometimes I like to get something for just ME........it can be clothes, shoes, husky stuff, food, or even something I really want to give away......

    Kay, you really don't need to justify anything. It's apparent that you have a good handle on your finances so that you were able to spend a little bit of money on yourself. Good for you.

    I am buying some things. Too bad they are all for others, things I NEED, or for an unfortunate event.

    Yesterday I spent $100 in vet bills for Nanook.

    Tonight I am getting a new to me (used) freezer, although it is not for me per say, it's to store the dog's food in. It's a smaller one, not exactly sure but it is about 4 cubic feet I guess. It's only $35 but I'm going to see if I can get it for $25 as it is not self defrost and they have to have it out of there by tonight and I am the ONLY person who is interested in it. As long as it works I'm getting it.
    In a way this has already paid for itself because of all the free meat I have gotten in the past & will continue to get in the future.

    I am also pitching in some money for some flowers for my grandmother, who has advanced alzheimers. The doctors gave her about a week left to live, this was 2 days ago.

    I just spent $85 today on new front brakes & rotors for my car as well as some stabalizer thing for one of my front tires. The pads are under warranty so when I return the ones that are on my car I will use that money for the back brakes.

    Next week or the week after I'm getting 2 new back tires for my car.

    My van is up for sale once it sells I am splurging, I am getting myself a hair trim and a new pair of sneakers. Haven't had either in a year or more. I am also going to get my sewing machine repaired. The rest of the money is going to bills, food, vet bills and house repairs.



    I'm sorry Donna, but I agree with the others. I can NOT afford anything extra either yet I kept my mouth shut because of 2 reasons. #1Other peoples lives are just that, none of my business, and I am not going to just assume things either. And #2, this is a fun thread.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Love those collars! Where on the website is the turtle one? I may have to look into getting that one! I showed it to my mom (obsessed with turtles) and she loves it, and many others on the site. Nevermind! I found it. So many cute ones in the summer collection!

    I know, I had a really hard time choosing! I've been wanting to order from them for months but couldn't make up my mind I'll probably end up ordering more later.
