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

Oreo - I'm not a marmalade afficionado but this one is for you.
Delicious!

Oh no! I think Rogue has gone!
My last jar is in the fridge....
😱

Nothing so far. I don’t suppose I’ll be feeling smug about it for very long, though…
However I’ve said a very firm No Clothes This Year!! to myself.
I have plenty, particularly summer things.

Though I did order a new pair of sheepskin house boots recently, because they were very briefly 20% off, and the ones I’ve had (and worn endlessly) for at least 5 years have sprouted a little hole in the left toe.
I’m saving the new ones for next winter, though.

So do I but they are so last year!

I try to walk past them, but this week I fell victim to a pack of triple choc chunk cookies. Do I feel victimised? Not really. they are now a blissful memory. Will I let myself be caught again? of course not...

A colourful sea salt oversized fleece. Not really necessary as I have others equally good. However it was in the sale and is so cosy !

They are closing our local Debbie's - everything is half price even Waitrose food so bought enough food to fill the freezer, a bird feeder, plant bulbs and a food chopper.
I didn't need any of these but cannot resist a bargain!

GransNet Money Saver I didn't save. I spent nearly £30 on a jumper from ROMAN!!!! OK, it was discounted and I have very few jumpers but I don't actually need it.

I've decided not to buy anything I want (opposed to need) as I have an unexpected expense, the rebuilding of my garden wall. I have wardrobes of clothes, too many boots, shoes and sandals.

Nothing yet as I'm trying to declutter and cut down the amount of clothes that I already have. Wardrobe overload here lol

My makeup bag was looking very scruffy and zip had broken so Boots were selling their Christmas stock half price and so I bought a Ted Baker one with three products inside, also replaced a few items of makeup that were running out/lids broken etc. Made me feel real good to treat myself! 😁

A Turkey, 2 legs of lamb and a joint of pork. Not needed immediately but will come in useful when the family descend for Sunday dinner.

A pair of pyjamas because no one bought me any at Christmas- and then someone gave me a belated Christmas present, yes you’ve guessed it - pyjamas!
A coffee table which we wouldn’t have bought if we’d known that our washing machine was going to blow up so now we’ve had to buy a new washing machine as well.
I’ve also been told by the dentist that I need a root canal filling which will cost about £1500. It’s turning into an expensive month.

A coat from Mango love it didn’t need it.
Half length wellies love them didn’t need them.
Since then I’ve been doing “No spend days” where you don’t spend any money at all it’s working so far I’m up to 4 days a week.

A multicoloured bag, which I didn't need as I have more than enough bags! However my husband liked it and encouraged me to buy it. It was cheap so I didn't argue!

Knitting yarn - which I need like a hole in the head!

advent calendars, just because i wanted chocolate and they were reduced.

A book of 200 embroidery stitches published by the Royal School of Embroidery. It gives instructions on how to sew these stitches and illustrations of embroideries that have used them. It is a beautiful book. Very heavy. It cost thirty pounds. Who knows whether I will ever learn to sew all these stitches But it is a lovely reference book to have.

Kindle books wouldn't do to run out of reading material Theres only 40 actual books on the to read shelf

Chocolate, 2 Radley handbags (in the sale and completely indulgent and necessary), more flights somewhere warm (this cold and damp causes my arthritis to be very painful). Think that's it but the month isn't over yet 🤔

Too many woodland figurines for the top of my grandson’s first birthday cake which is a woodland scene. Ordered some from amazon then thought it wouldn’t be enough so ordered a bigger batch and I now have loads of badgers, foxes, deers, and rabbits etc.
Also felt trees to stick on top of green icing.
Am no ace baker btw will be more like junior bake-off 😆

This sounds absolutely delightful..

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...

I can quite understand why you bought this! I wish I had one!

A Minnie Mouse hat and a pair of gloves. Wondering about the Minnie Mouse scooter with lights on the wheels…..

Go for it! You only live once 😂

I’ve not actually bought anything I didn’t need. My hand blender broke so had to replace it. I did buy a new purse but took it back to next as I didn’t like it once it arrived.

Three pairs of socks from Seasalt. Definitely don’t need them as already have a drawer full. However they were so soft and at 3 for 2 I couldn’t resist.
