I paid for some goods at a local shop with a fiver and got change for a tenner.
However, the guilt is gnawing at me.

I returned a giant Millennium Falcon toy to Target, because I found it cheaper elsewhere, and I didn't have my receipt, so they did receipt lookup. I had used a $15 off coupon, but when they credited back my account, it didn't deduct the $15 off, so I made $15 plus tax by returning it. Woohoo!
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

awesome
You need a camera (agreeing from another post!).

I know there are no BB stores in the UK, yet, but we have a kid's 5megapixel camera in bubble packs for about sixty bucks, including flash card and USB cable, hanging on pegs at our store in the grab-n-go section, near the doors. Isn't there something like that where you are?

Filled my car's fuel tank for US$1.98 per gallon.

Seems odd in the wake of a "collapsing economy."


It has been quite a while since I bought two dollar per gallon gasoline.

made a really scrumptious "apple explosion": it was supposed to be apple strudel, but my pastry was so short and crumbly, i had to sort of fold it over the top instead of rolling it, and so the filling leapt out of the top.

it was fucking gorgeous, though.  :drool:

actually, i made two, one for my neighbour cos he gave me the apples, but he didn't want it, so there's one going begging, if anyone's interested?   :green:

Sounds great. I can't imagine why the neighbor refused it.

it was too late for him to eat.  i'll save it for him for tomorrow, but after that, it's going straight into the freezer - i had to freeze the remains of mine as soon as i could, cos it was so nice i could've eaten all of it, oink, oink.
