What were they?
Mine are:
Nail Polish, remover and top coat (technically 3 things but I’m counting them as 1 Grin )
2 books
Dishwasher tablets
Command hooks
Phone and watch charger stand thingy

Nothing ‘essential’ but I was needing them.
Feel free to ignore if you boycott Amazon, I try to during usual times but I’ve had to overlook some of my morals this past year in the name of vanity and organisation in a hurry Grin

I self published on Amazon too so I like to support the myriad small business who trade on there, I don't feel too bad about it :)

Lots of things I’ve never heard of Grin and lots of homeschooling supplies...
@12frogsincoats i know what a tongue scraper is but what else comes in a kit?!
@OnionsAreToxic I never knew a scrabble turntable existed and now need one.
Lots of things I would quite like now since starting this thread.
I have also decided I’d really quite like one of those bath plank things so I can set my iPad up and watch Netflix in the bath with a glass
Of something rather than propping my phone up on the loo and having a drink slipping about on the corner of the bath, and also a bath pillow to help my hair not get wet if it’s not being washed... any recommendations?

Are they new to you or replacements?
@GiantKitten - I had The Saturdays and And Then There Were Five as a child, but never the other two, so I decided to buy them because I just finished reading The Saturdays to DS (I declined to do American accents) and have always wondered how it was they were in New York in the first book and the countryside in the third book! I love them too.

sadpapercourtesan · 31/01/2021 18:37

Smoking gun is a little handheld device with a burner in it, and a tube attached...you fill it with woodchips, then connect the tube to a valve in a plastic cloche, and it fills with lovely smoke and smokes your fish/cheese/whatever
