    Default I don't know why I did it. I shouldn't have...I really shouldn't have but...

    I added up my Wish List. <---- Yes, all of those emotions. That's what I'm feeling!

    I guess because at work I have this handy Canon calculator with a big bold display and the tape, with the item count. I just started punching in numbers out of curiosity and ended up at $522.15 and that is without 4 items that have since come up with the red "out of stock" notice. I fear the "out of stock" notice! What if they never come back in stock??

    Why is fabric so addictive???

    You made me giggle. You see, I always try to keep a running tally in my head and always round up. That can be a good thing, especially since I am the kind of shopper that will go put items back that are not necessary. In my mind, they were mine for the time they were in my cart.
    Now, for the roller coaster ride you experienced, I suggest a nice cup of coffee, tea, sweet tea and a chocolate bar. Works like a charm for me.
    Many blessings to you.

    Thanks for the smile on a Monday morning. Fabric is definitely an addiction.

    How funny! I was just thinking about sweet tea today. I was wondering if the Brits drink iced tea. I'm not sure. I've learned to drink water without ice but what's iced tea without the ice? TEA! I have a really small ice cube tray that has a top and I fill it twice a day to make myself some ice. I take a gallon freezer bag and crack the ice out of the tray directly into the bag. I wonder if ice makers even exist over here for personal use. I'm sure the pubs have them since they will give ice if it's asked for. I can't tolerate sweet tea. Even though I've got southern blood in me I just can't stand beverages being super sweet unless it's got alcohol in it. Hmmm - I believe there are alcoholic drinks made with tea. Am I right about that? I just looked up tea with alcohol and was surprised to see quite a long list. None of the names sounded familiar. Hmmmm....

    My BIL is British. His family came over a few years ago in August, and on 100 degree days, they wanted hot tea. It took my BIL a long time to get used to iced tea - and he can drink it, but only from a bottle - he doesn't like sun tea at all.

    Rebecca - have you come across iced tea over here? Don't think we have it but we so seldom have the glorious weather we're having now so maybe it never caught on. Maybe you could start a trend!

    They don't sell Snapple in the UK?

    It's funny when Dh and I went to NZ and saw that American beer was more expensive we switched to Steinlager. Still my choice of the green bottles.
