Rampant Consumerism

gandt - www.hell.co.nz

Lizzle - pet blinkers are small LED lights which flash in 2 different colours (blue and white, pink and green, that sort of thing) which I attach to the dog's collars when walking at night (you can get them from Foodtown). You can honestly see the dogs for miles walking down the street - good for other walkers, and cars as well as they know we're there. Plus, when the little toads are running around in the bush at the park, you can't see them, but you can see the lights moving about so you know where they are! Marvellous invention, I have to say!

The girl learns quick!

Update from me: not doing toooo badly (which also means not doing too well ). I went to JK with Fiona yesterday (blame Fiona!) and ended up buying the gremlins a top each, but it was only $9 each, so....

But just so you can all see where I get my rampant consumerism from, today I went to The Warehouse with my Dad and his Visa, and came home with...

Yep, a Peek n PLay discovery dome. Plus a Peeka Blocks turtle and for Maya a Dora the Explorer and a new top.

See - I was doomed from the start, it's in my genes!

Seriously tho, I did well with the groceries, $188, altho I did have to go back today and get nappy liners coz I forgot them. But I only bought nappy liners, nothing else. Progress I tell you!

So I'm not doing *too* badly. I mean, I haven't bought any dog blinkers or Nathan Foley CD's

Yup it's a big hit with Maddie too!

We already have enough Peeka Blocks to start a toy shop, but in my defence, most of them were Mayas, and the others were Xmas presents from Maya to the gremlins.

I am sooo loving the discovery dome tho! And the gremlins are really into the turtle.

I know why Jax, but since Dad was paying...

And as soon as Maya saw it she said "mama, Erin has one of those ay?"

If your dad was paying Emma, it doesn't count!

I've had a bad week ...

I bought the book from Amazon, have bought coffee twice (complete with treats) and I bought two pottery bowls yesterday ($15). I have such a weakness for pottery Still, they were $15 for the 2, and I'd budgeted to buy some bowls for xmas as we are having a big family thing, and I have very little in the way of that sort of thing, and the ones I'd intended to buy (from Sabato) are [not telling] EACH! But, I still feel bad.

I did do well with my groceries last night though - $177, and that was with DH taking the p*ss and swopping all my non-name branded stuff out of the trolley while I wasn't looking, for named brand stuff ... except for when I bought some (Flemings) rolled oats to make dog treats (Schmackos are $8 a packet, so am going to try and make my own!) and he stood there in the aisle, and asked in a really loud voice if I really needed to buy a named brand product to make dogs treats?

Still, the tell will be how much we spend during the week, post-shop, because that's where I went wrong last week!

Good idea Paws! New month, new thread, new determination!

Sorry I don't have anything to add but just wondered - in the first few pages (17 is too many for my slow computer to go through so just read the first few) what is TNN???

Thank you

putting blinkers on your pet's collars is a great idea. The other points related to the topic are also well defined. Please check and try street lights for the lighting system in the streets I found this topic helpful because I also experienced this problem. my cat pet was lost in the park. I wish I put a blinker on her collars.
