Shopping Spree!

[katikat]

I just spent $250 in one go! But! I also now have Xmas presents for all my RL friends and family! My twin friends wanted - both of them! - Frederick Forsyth's autobiography. And for my mom, I got all the books she was missing in the "Lucky" series by Jackie Collins - I had to dig deep and get some of them in thrift stores because they're hopelessly sold out! And I also got her three perfumes: Bruno Banani, Gabriela Sabatini and Avon. Hopefully, I won't have to buy anything more this year... *winces*

*bro-fist* I also bought most of my gifts this weekend. I only have one of my brothers left now.

I ended up spending a lot more than usual this year. We don't usually give expensive gifts in my family, but my youngest brother is having some financial difficulties, so I ended up getting him a gift certificate for an eye exam and a new pair of glasses (his old ones are held together with tape).

Now I only have to get a present for my on-line friend in the UK, but that I can do shortly before Xmas.

A week ago, I had to buy an electric dehumidifier for the rooms downstairs because the walls there were getting damp and the non-electric dehumidifiers weren't doing the job anymore. That was $170 *winces* But it was either that or mold, so...

I bought one of those in October! Expensive, but it seems to be effective. It filled up with almost four litres in two days! Now that it's winter, it's a lot drier, but I left the machine on anyway. It senses when the room humidity is at an acceptable level and goes into standby mode.
