For me, it was a bed jacket. My inner 95 year old is so excited for it to arrive.

Gig tickets, bought on a whim this morning during an interminably boring virtual training session.

Hunter wellies.

Gig tickets here too, The Killers.

Have you seen them before? You are in for a treat if not, absolutely brilliant live.

Earrings. I'd been lusting after a pair of diamond huggies, which I absolutely cannot afford. Then I found a cubic zirconia dupe in Accessorise for £15, so I bought them instead.

What is a diamond huggy? Like a sleeper? I wonder if I need some?

I just bought a long cotton shirt dress for the summer from M&S, it's a lovely fine cotton with a collar and full skirt, very wafty . And the Tiffany lamp we ordered for a joint valentines present has just arrived, to lighten up a dark corner.

Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser

Seemed a very indulgent purchase, and it is, but I love it and use it almost daily. If it broke I would 100% replace it.

It's my birthday coming up so I bought myself a couple of Miller Harris shower gels. I also got my hair done and brows waxed & tinted and eyelashes tinted. Plus a few books. 👍

Some cheap fun earrings in the shape of dinosaurs, fruit, eggs, ducks and water bottles etc.

AmberGer · 04/03/2023 04:33

Earrings here too! Not expensive but very lovely hand crafted unusual ones. I love them and they make me smile when I wear them 😊

No, had tickets last year and got Covid

A Hobbs trench coat for spring. Always wanted one.

Angela59 · 04/03/2023 05:09

Maids outfit 😂

Tiny hoops that close completely round your ear lobe, "hugging" it.

These are the diamond ones I wanted, but the Accessorize ones are so similar (and also sterling silver), that I'm really glad I didn't shell out £140 for them:

I got a Regatta coat for spring in their 70% off sale the other day which made me happy! It's lovely.

A Neom mini pod diffuser you just plug the bottle of aromatherapy oil into rather than faff about with a water tank.

DelphiniumBlue · 04/03/2023 07:37

MadameSzyszkoBohusz thank you! Looks like I definitely do need some Huggies!

ThreeRingCircus · 04/03/2023 07:49

A storage tin for all of my seed packets with monthly dividers for when to sow them in the garden plus plant labels and little envelopes to collect seed at home. It makes me so happy!

I'm so rock and roll 🤣

Yes I love my neom mini. I have a disability that means faffing with a water tank was a struggle and I am so glad I switched

Some fun dangly earrings from ninemoo (the bunny ones).

Roystonv · 04/03/2023 07:53

12 bottles of wine during the Asda offer and some Dettol (yep that's not a typo!). Bed jackets and electric blankets are calling me too.

A holiday with out my kids 😀😀😀😀
First time I've been away with out them since 2009

A lovely bird table with a copper roof that we fixed to a tree in our front garden, and some specialist feeders and seeds. I saw 6 goldfinches on it yesterday which really made me happy!
