Hello! this question just popped out to my mind while im replying to one discussion of a fellow myLotter a while ago. We are in the process of saving money for the finishing stage of our new home, and right at this moment im thinking of buying tiles and bathroom fixtures without my husband knowing it. I will buy those from my own money and i just would like to surprise him so at least we could keep those materials till the next construction day of our house. How about you my fellow myLotters? any plan of buying something for yourself, friends or love ones? they say that price didn't matter for as long as you give this thing with all your heart, thanks and have a great day ahead...

hi jinjer, we are all trying to save up for our next holiday at the end of the year. and we are all looking forward to it. guess that would make it a little easier to save up. but we can still afford that little extra topping. i still believe that today is more important than tomorrow and how we live our daily lives matter. but it's good to have something to look forward to, a reason to live for and something to work hard and strive for.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think I am going to buy myself a wallet ,which is covered by the police badge which is the most thing that I admired in the world. I think I may buy it some days later.

It's a good choice because wallet was an everyday thing plus it carries with it a very important possession of any individual and that is our money. Thanks for the response, have a great day ahead!

Hello marmar! That's a very nice thing to have. Laptop was very handy and you can be sure that you will still be in touch with the world even when you are outside your own home. Good luck and more power!

Hi unstopabble! a vehicle or car was a very useful belonging to have. Even though that its a very pricey thing to acquire, this will bring convenience to the whole family. Yes you are right for saying that 2nd hand car was just okay as long as its still in good condition. Good luck!

I want to buy a bracelet or bangle for my mom that I can borrow from time to time. We have lost quite a few pieces of jewelry when she started on her chemotherapy and we were able to get the earrings, rings and necklaces from the pawnshop. But I was not able to get the bracelets because they already cost too much with the interest. So I plan on buying one bracelet that we can share. By the way, speaking of tiles, I bought some last month because we had our front porch renovated so that it will become a sort of receiving area instead of a place where all the junk is. I was able to buy tiles at 20% off and I like the color of the tiles. It cost less when I bought it direct from construction supply stores who give wholesale prices than asking the contractor who remodeled the porch to buy it for us.

Hello anne25pen! its nice to know how you love your mother so much, i do hope that she will recover from her illness soon, Its really hard to be sick physically, mentally, emotionally, financially that is why im so glad that you plan to give your mother a bangle or maybe a bracelet. There's this aunt of my husband that sells all kinds of jewelries, handcrafted and gives them all by terms depending on the price of the item, most is to give the jewelry 12 mos. to pay. Regarding about the tiles, im planning to buy it in the nearby shop with discounts as well, i love the design that imitates the looks of a wooden floor, im a big fan of wooden floors and since that it was so expensive, i'll just resort with what ive mentioned. Thanks a lot penn, May God bless your family especially your mother...

jinjer168 well as right now I am pretty much on my own here, I would love to buy a new skirt and a new nightie. I do not know much au putting my heart into as its really sort of a matter of necessity but of course I want to get the prettiest skirt and nightie I can find, and the ones that fit best for a price I can afford. as for my hear into it, its not like I was buying a Monet painting really. Cannot really get sentimental over necessities like clothing.

Hello khalida! for us women, we tend to buy clothes every now and then. I am glad that you're planning to buy one too. A new clothe makes us happy enough for the rest of the day. That's what im feeling when ive got a new one. You are very generous indeed thinking about your boyfriend's favorite. More power and have a great day ahead, nice to hear something from you!
