I see, thank you for an explanation

Good luck with that thingy

Seems to be a tough fellow!

Hehe, thanks! Let's see if it helps me or if it's just a cute shiny toy.

I bought something too, yesterday. Not anything good for health but useful for sure. I had to buy some spring/early autumn shoes because I have only winter ones, then something like sandals (quite open shoes which means that if it is not warm you can get cold. And also sneakers but I cannot wear these with skirt and definitely not for official actions (exams etc). So I had to get some closed shoes and yet not warm.

I found some nice Mustangs for a reasonable price (on sale

).

Congrats, Kris!

Have fun with your new jeans and shoes.

Got all the clothes you need for spring now?

Cheers!

I only got shoes

- those are the Mustang. I don't have money for clothes now... but the shoes were a necessity.

I surely will have fun with those shoes. They have a short heel (wide not that needle one) and they make that clap clap sound

Ah, I see - I got confused about the Mustang. Well, enjoy them! Clack-clack your way into spring!

Whoa Markus!

What colour is your Powerball?

Congrats, Kris, enjoy your new shoes!

Markus · « **Reply #127 on:** April 22, 2013, 10:07:44 am »

Mine's all green, Lucy - green housing and green LEDs.

Hey folks,

this week I bought some light summer pants that I can wear to the office. Light fabric, both in weight / density and colour, so I can wear (and bear) it on warm and sunny days. Also bought some Bermuda-shorts for more casual occasions or the hottest day. I had to try three sizes, each smaller than the previous. I'm sure the sizes were manipulated to flatter the customers, but whatever the number - I think they look good on me, and that's what counts.

My most recent purchase, though, was a new UMTS-stick. I managed to break my old one this afternoon. A few days without internet? No mails? No NTSMS? No way! So I marched to the nearest electronics store with the old, broken stick and my netbook and asked for a new one. (In case they had none, I was even willing to make an additional new contract if it's not too expensive, just to get back online quickly.) The guy at the show offered me to try the new stick right there, so I fetched the SIM-card from the old one, put it into the new and tried it - successfully. So I was online again immediately - disaster averted!

Cheers!

Markus

We are slightly addicted.

Congratulations, to your new clothes, and the reason why you had to try that much!

Persephone · « **Reply #130 on:** May 19, 2013, 09:34:48 am »

Enjoy your new clothes! :-)

I tend to have "size" problem quite often too, especially with t-shirts. Every company makes different sizes and also as the clothes are often being made in China etc, not every piece is the same size... Also it differs according to the cut of the clothes.

Markus · « **Reply #131 on:** May 24, 2013, 11:06:34 pm »

Right you are, Kris. At least some companies write the cut on the label (i.e. regular fit or slim fit). But I'm also convinced that they prefer to write down smaller sizes because that makes their customers happy.

Lucy, I'm sorry to contradict you. We're not addicted in the least - getting online, especially in order to visit this forum, is an objective necessity.

Cheers!

I have the same problem but with shoes! In ECCO store my size is 37..
but when I want to buy a pair of shoes in other store, there is a problem.. 37 is to small, 38 is too big..

that's why I'm wearing my ballerines since high school (5-6 years?)

So recently I've bought 2 box DVDs of Smurfes (for my god-daughter), for me - some cosmetics (there is -40% discount in Rossmann drugstore, and ordered a make-up brush Hakuro H54 (free shipping) - Poly knows this brand. Btw, Poly, how is the H60 brush you've bought?

@Kris - it happens to me in H&M - one t-shirt in S size was good on me, the second one of the same size, not!

Luth · « **Reply #133 on:** May 25, 2013, 09:13:02 am »

Are you sure companies write a smaller size than the real one? My experience is the contrary: I usually have a 42 for pants... if the size is correct. But I've bought some that are 44, 46, even 48. Once, I bought a pair of jeans whose size was XXL / 50!!!! And I'm the same that always, and I'm still able to wear all my 42 jeans. I usually say "luckily I'm a grown up woman who knows the sizes are unreal; for a young teenager, worried about their weight, it must be very depressing to fit only in the "extra-size" clothes...

Hey folks,

more clothing: I bought a red short-sleeved shirt. I'm attending a semi-formal event tonight and wanted to wear something beyond my usual office style. So I went to a store where I'd been served well before and left it with a nice new shirt.

I'll iron it now, take a shower and leave.

Cheers!

Markus

Have a nice evening

Luth · « **Reply #136 on:** May 28, 2013, 06:52:27 pm »

Have a great evening, Markus!

Is this event something office-related?

The One · « **Reply #137 on:** May 28, 2013, 07:31:03 pm »

Cannibal Corpse tickets

Well, technically I didn't buy them, my buddy did, but hey, Cannibal Corpse!

Markus · « **Reply #138 on:** May 29, 2013, 12:46:31 am »

Hey folks,

congrats, Jorge! Enjoy very much. When is the show? When do we get the review? Is your dad gonna join you?

Yeah, the evening was office-related: One of our communications trainers is retiring. So our big boss was there and many interesting people I didn't know yet. I'm so touched that she invited me, for she didn't invite many of my colleagues...

BTW: The event was in Leipzig, the next biggest city nearby. I was there early, strolled around - and stumbled across a "Fight Shop", a small store specialised in gear for fighting sports. So I could do some necessary shopping that saved me an errand tomorrow.

Anyway, buying the shirt was so enjoyable: I walked into the store, told the guy approximately what I wanted, and he fetched just the right shirt for me. He brought a "slim fit" - one that emphasises what I'm proud of and hides what I'm less proud of.

He tried to make me try an even smaller one, claiming that it would perhaps sit a little tight on my chest and shoulders (flatterer!) but I wasn't in the mood for experiments and happy enough with the first one.

Cheers!

Markus

Cheers!

you try it on - say OK, pay and leave
