Had a shit week and an extra extra shit day today.
I just remembered that my uncle gave me an £100 amazon voucher for my birthday back in June (don’t ask!) I also have a bit of spending money saved up to add, and like all good copers, I’m going to fucking spend some money tonight on amazon. To make me feel better.

So any suggestions lol? They can be tiny bits, don’t have to be one big thing.

Stickers. Sparkly, glittery happy stickers. I got some off the back of a thread and they’ve made me strangely happy!

@Zampa

I LOVE my robot vacuum. I've named her Harriet and I will never be without her. I told my husband if he ever leaves me he can take anything except her. Over my dead body! Smile

A new Garmin running watch. Mine is quite old and I really fancy a new one but can't justify the cost when the one I have is still working

For your pups - Lickimats. Just bought mine one each and tubes of liver paste. They love them and keeps them busy for ages.

Just because they're nice: pens, notebooks, sewing machine, mega paddling pool, jewellery, woollen accessories, nice/ comfy shoes, candles, Hunter wellies, nail polish, l'Occitane cosmetics, perfume, mascara, lipstick, eye liner, nice travel mug, nice blankets, new bedding.

Useful: car seats, Bambino Mio portable changing mat, baby clothes, wooden toys Grimm's rainbow.

I have an almost one year old, so the useful stuff is a bit specific and might be completely useless to youSmile

@bunnyhop1502 I have that stapler! And it broke this week so now I need another one Bear

I’ve an amazon addiction! Things I’ve bought in the last month are:

St Eval Gorse tealights (smell is bliss)
Jamie’s new Veg cookbook as want to cook more ... veg!
A swerve football for my son (he bloody loves it!)
Several books but I definitely want the new Margaret Atwood book
A massive method washing up liquid refill as works out much cheaper!
Some rechargeable batteries (boring but much better than single use)

I wish it was more exciting for you!!

RockysMa · 13/09/2019 21:30

Or googly eyes stickers. I put them on everything but don't tell anyone. Stapler, random electrical things, photos, the dog, bananas, the keyhole on front door ... brings me endless joy

Get some play balls and a paddling pool and turn your living room into an adult-size ball pit!

They also have some lovely solar powered watches around the £100 mark so you never need to change your watch battery again, like the Seiko solar ones or the Citizen eco drive ones.

My mum has just got one of them robot vacuums... he is called Bill and she is vv proud of him. Me and my older sister all thought she had bloody lost the plot... so did our stepdad. The dogs are terrified of it and my little brother (age 17) has reportedly yelled ‘MUMMM!’ when home alone because he thought it was mum doing the hoovering haha.

Buy something from a charity's wish list - for example, I know that our local Ronald McDonald house has an Amazon wishlist of items that can be bought for direct delivery to them. Go on ... it'll make you feel good about yourself ...
