What have you bought that you are very thankful you did now we are housebound?

Me - my nespresso latissima coffee machine. Having a nice coffee is really helping me get through the day. Albeit I will need to cut down on the lattes as getting a bit fat(ter). Am so grateful decided to get one in Jan

Also - my two nice big Le creuset pots that I actually got as a wedding present but have been using even more than usual

Ordered my bedding plants from Parkers. Due soon :). Picked up slug pellets, bug clear, plant food just before lockdown

A couple of years ago we binned our family gym membership, our a treadmill, spin bike, weights and a punch bag in the garage, along with a smart tv and took out a subscription to les mills. Sooo grateful now! 2 adults, 3 teens and we practically need to book our slot in the gym. No need to go out walking , can do it watching Netflix. Dd2 and I do our 2 combat classes a week. DH does online spin class and runs. Ds runs and boxes. Dd1 does her yoga and stretching. A!I for £10 a month. Really glad we have it!

A nespresso machine and Starbucks pods, swingball and trampoline, Harry Potter boxset and Disney plus!! Managed to hold off building the trampoline till kids were ready to kill each other. Swingball has been a big hit with all ages

I'm weirdly jealous. I've recently discovered spinning at the gym (actually only just started the gym 😪) and was starting to enjoy it. I'd love a spinning bike at home

Oh and buying all the Eastereggs for Easter hunt super early

Seeds, fruit bushes and trees, chest freezer, Brexit supplies, the kids' Easter eggs. One final Ocado order just before the world closed down so now we can manage without a delivery for a month if need be.

A new bike for my son (he was completely outgrown of his old one at Christmas)

Animal Crossing for the Switch

My Brexit stash bought months ago has definitely come in use

Reebok step, dumbbells, yoga mat, resistance tube - All to help with exercise at home

Piles of random craft supplies over a few years, it's all being used now

Netflix/A better squishier sofa/A bigger TV/A nespresso Vertuo machine - ALL bought Dec/Jan when doing 'upgrades' at home... perfectly timed it seems

Wool, have knitted a jumper for cousins new baby and now started on a blanket its giving me something to focus on

@jmh740 in finally working through my yarn stash!

A little statue of Jesus.

We’d bought at least 50 litres of paint in various shades to paint the house. They’re been sitting around in the hallway making us feel guilty for months but now the house is finally getting painted 🎉🎉

I’m very glad that I’m quite an organised person that we already had Easter eggs, a well stocked baking cupboard and that we bulk buy toilet roll every 3 months. Also glad that we already home ed so I already have everything I need to keep my dc busy and learning.

Garden furniture. My old stuff had all rotted away. It's really nice being able to sit out having breakfast, coffee, meals out there.

Glad to already have a milkman and to order my groceries already anyway from Tesco. I had slots booked for a month on lockdown and they have been fab. On time and hardly any subs. Netflix, Now and Prime.

Easter eggs already organised before lockdown.

Our outdoor seated area has been a godsend.

Our cats have given us even more joy.
