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.

My gym membership has been cancelled during the lockdown so I got myself a Rebounder indoor trampoline. I’m getting the hang of it, but a large mirror in front of me would be better!

Otherwise, gin. And more gin.

DH has bought a new desk, storage thing on castors to go underneath, new chair and a monitor. None of them essential but evil make working from home more comfortable.

I’ve bought colouring books for the DC and masses of felt pens. Paid through the nose for the sodding felt pens.

Just bought my first bottle of brandy in twenty years, for medicinal purposes obviously

Wine
Chocolate
Biscuits
Art and craft materials
Books
A dartboard!

Wine. I hadn't drunk wine for years (more into craft beer/cocktails). But I can't get to the offy that sells the beers I like, and a couple of bottles of wine is easier to carry home from Aldi than loads of beer. I'd forgotten how lovely a cold glass was. I'm probably saving calories too! Which is just as well seeing as my other essential seems to be Titan bars, also from Aldi.

I bought a Fire tablet too so I can watch stuff while DH is wfh - my ancient laptop can't cope with anything more challenging than the odd gif. Netflix and Readly subs, too.

i've got 5kg of professional quality couverture arriving tomorrow

I've joined the Craft Gin Club.
