What have you been buying to get you through lockdown?

[Aberforthsgoat]

I know a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet so I'm not trying to be insensitive - I'm not necessarily talking big purchases but if you are lucky enough to have financial security at the moment, what have you ordered to keep you busy?

I've ordered some make up products as before this I was training as a make up artist and want to practise different looks to keep myself in the game.
I also got a load of yarn so I can knit and some garden seeds to plant and veg stuff which I would have ordered regardless.

Can't believe no-one said handbags!

I'm buying handbags.

That is hilarious

My two discovered "the techno chicken". Youtube at your peril.

Plants and seeds, so I should hopefully have a good looking garden this year. I'd bought a load of painting and decorating supplies a few weeks ago, so decorating the kitchen and bedroom should keep me busy for a while. I have a few cross stitches on the go anyway as I'm a bit of a homebody.
