You cant just borrow them from the library?

I doubt any library within 50 miles has them. Some of them probably won't be in any library. Besides they're books I'll keep for the rest of my life for personal study anyway, so worthwhile investment :)

Must go shopping tomorrow, friend recommended a shop where I could buy a cheap shoe rack.
So

Shoe rack
Flapper dress
Solar lights
Cleaning caddy

I hope some more jobs come up soon so i can have some more money coming in for all my expenditures!

But amazing thing is God always provides even when I think im down to my last dollar. I have never needed to borrow money.

there doesn't seem to be any cleaning caddies anywhere?!
I looked in at least five different stores and nothing. Its like a tool holder with different compartments and a built in handle to put all your sponges, brushes and cloths, gloves and sprays in.

hmm.

the solar lights aren't the same ones I had, so maybe I will just move the others around in my garden.
But I bought so much items today I'm going to have to be ruthless at removing the things I no longer use. Hooray found a flapper type dress. I thought they would be in the costume shops but there was none, so I found a tunic that would do just as well.
For the longest time I wanted a globe of the world and today I found one in the op shop, and it even lights up and shows the stars as well. And it didn't cost $60-100 that a new one would sell for! yea!

interesting, but I thought tacos had salsa as the hot sauce? And the meat had seasoning in it as well when it got cooked?
Rice cookers are to cook rice in, you might need a slow cooker for things like stews and gumbo.

Well hot sauce is what I put on tacos. Salsa I put on chips, but you can certainly put salsa on/in tacos.... I just prefer to keep veggies, even pepper chunks out of my tacos. Instead I douse them in pepper blood (hotsauce)

If I infused water with peppers I could brown the meat and simmer it in the pepper juices instead of prepackaged spices I use now.

Yeah, the rice cooker I bought can make soups/stews chili, gumbo etc. It also can steam meats like chicken (and/or veggies but let's get real.... I want to be healthier, not a rabbit) I can steam chicken, rice and make beans on the stove.

Chicken, beans and rice. That's about as healthy as this bull can get..... without going crazy. Chicken are good, beans are good, rice are good..... carrot.... bad.... celery... bad.... *Walking like Frankenstein's monster.* Ahhhhhh no like veggie......... ahhhhhh

oh so you already bought one.
Well good for you. I was thinking of buying a slow cooker as we already have a rice cooker and don't use it for anything else but cooking rice and steaming food over the rice.
Because rice needs to be cooked separately and mum has it everyday anyway.

I noticed we actually now have two rice cookers as mum bought a smaller one to give to my brother but he didn't want it. So I suppose the other one could be used like a slow cooker.

anyway.
Friend wants to go fishing so I need to buy some hooks, or net, bucket, and looks like a new tacklebox as the old one seems falling apart.

also belt, not a black belt, and one that fits and doesn't flap about.

I took a whole bag of stuff to the op shop, my favourite one wasn't open, it was too early but the st vincent's across the arcade was. So they took my bags, although they eyed me with suspicion that I was just dumping garbage. I gave them an inventory of everything that was sellable and still good in there, and the man harangued me on how much it cost to dump stuff. Well if it was really garbage of course I would have put it in the garbage collection, in a bright orange garbage bag. Our household pays rates for rubbish collection too.

grr.

I'm not going to St Vincent de Paul society again. (they don't have much good things there anyway).

Found a belt so didnt need to buy one.

Its too hot for fishing but still need to buy new hooks.
Food - yoghurt, juice, crackers

Everything is now expensive after new years holiday sales are over.

I also have to look for venetian blinds for my office.
And a rug for winter.

Im thinking of buying shares but I dont know how. Also, im not buying anything online if I can help it from overseas as that butterfly poncho still hasnt arrived. Grr. I think its too easy for online retailers to just take your money and not deliver the goods. Why cant they deliver the goods and we pay upon receipt??? We could just pay the courier guy. Thats how pizza delivery works, come on.

Well, I'm never ordering anything online again, at least thats not based in my country.
you call them, they place you on hold, nobody answers.

lesson, don't buy anything someone else tells you to buy. If they really really liked it, they would have bought two of it and given one to you.

And crumpets.

Arrgh im not going to that mall again as was nearly recruited into a cult.
I was just minding my own business attempting to do some window shopping when two JW looking girls asked me to do a survey and it turns out they wanted me to go to their one on one bible study.

Maybe i should have stayed with my friend who was having a manicure instead but I dont really like the nail polish fumes. Those people wear masks but they dont give any to their customers.

Oh well at least she shouted me a tank juice. Im not really a mall person, despite having to do a lot of my shopping there. Its like you trapped in a temple of consumerism and everyones trying to sell you stuff. Including religion.

Oh dear here we go with my list:
GoPro camera
A large backpack for when I go camping.
A second geologist hammer so a friend can have one to use when rock hunting with me.
2 fennel bulbs for roasting
New laptop
A pet fish (Still thinking about this one)
A new headset for gaming and listening to music.

I am not getting all this at once especially the headset, laptop and GoPro.

No one has ever stopped me for religious stuff at a mall but it happened one day at work.
