On a lighter note….we all need it! Here’s a question for you.

Two Home magazines, £10 as a treat, but they were complete rubbish, full of pretentious design and expensive adverts.
£ 22,000 for a kitchen cupboard in which to keep your (white) wine.

I bought this mug. I felt very guilty about it but - I just loved it. It 'spoke' to me! More mugs are the last thing I need but but but...

A Treadmill for when I can't get out for my walk........But when it arrived it is huge and I can't see where it will go.
So I have called the company to come and pick it up. At the moment it is nearly blocking my hall and not going until next Tuesday but I hold my hand up ...... I shouldn't have ordered it!

A pinball machine 🙄😳

Yet another handbag I saw in a charity shop. It still had the label on, so I presume it was an unwanted gift.

Cake and books.

Another drinks bottle! I'm obsessed with metal drinks bottles and the plastic sort with straws dangling from the lid.

I have 3 on my bedside table - water, juice and fizzy pop - which I keep constantly as I'm always thirsty, refilled one for water on my livingroom desk, a fizzy one on my works desk and a trillion in a cupboard at home!

I paid £7.00 for the latest one!

I’ve got me some bargains.

A No 7 skincare set from Boots to put away, a box of various Christmas chocolate novelties from Hotel Chocolat (supposedly for the grandsons, but I’ve already made an inroad on the penguins), an Audible and an Ancestry subscription, all massively reduced.

I absolutely LOVE Robins, my favourite bird! It's beautiful!

Oh, and a huge Tupperware bowl with lid from our charity shop. I’m not sure exactly what it’s going to come in for, and it’s taking up a lot of space, but it was only £4.

Too many things to list them all, but top few

Online!

Towels that are too thin and too small
Bags for packing away surplus clothes still in their wrapping (the bags)
A weird cleaning thing I like the look of from “Must Have Ideas” which is still in its box (actually their boxes! I bought 3!)

Some reduced cotton t-towels I have loads but noticed even after a 60* wash some are still stained so I want to replace perfectly usable but stained t-towels with nice new ones. Bonkers really!!

I’ve now thought again and yes I have about 5 of these! Never drink anywhere near enough! Would be good to put some water etc in them!

Battery operated de-fuzzer from Must Have Ideas which has proved so effective on various sad looking sweaters that I have given one to a friend who is also delighted.

Why are people saying chocolate is not needed?

It is an everyday essential.

I’m saving for a new car, hoping to get it in February, so I’ve been very disciplined this month. My only very small extravagance was some single source Amalfi lemon marmalade I bought in a deli. Very costly for what it is, but very delicious. 🍋

It’s funny how we read ahead of ourselves and make sense of a sentence before we finish reading it, cos I saw:I’m saving for a new car hoping to get a Ferrari.😄
I’m a marmalade aficionado so the lemon one sounds great.

Chocolate is addictive so the more you eat the more you want,
Step away from the Snickers!

Wow, think how much you’ve saved

I bought a new tile scrubber online for the shower room tiles, how boring is that?I didn’t really need it as I already have one🥴

Some Pyjamas from M&S full price but reasonable .

2 pieces of China that my daughter collects 50% in their sale , usually quite expensive but obviously much cheaper reduced to half price. I’ll put them away for her birthday

Puzzle book for me don’t need it but I love doing it , find it very relaxing and that was cheap too.

Takeaway coffee and pasty for my lunch from our local farm shop. Called in for some milk and treated myself to the rest. We have builders in and I can’t get easily into my kitchen at the moment. That’s my excuse anyway !

A pair of Teal coloured tights to go with a rarely worn dress; how daft it that when my long black boots would have done the trick. Don't even like tights but have a soft spot for Teal.

Oh this is great everyone!
I’m feeling very virtuous with my face cream and shirt!
I do normally buy a cashmere jumper every year in the sales but have resisted this year.
My husband treated me to a Holbrook knot so I feel I cannot justify another sweater.

The weirdoagain59 are you usually thirsty all the time ? Just in case this is a new thing it’s a red flag for high blood sugar (I’m type 2 diabetic) . I hope you don’t mind me mentioning this but you may need to be checked out

Absolutely nothing, but Amazon will have noticed a difference in its bank account. I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
