I imagine the boards will be quiet for most of today but I need a distraction and chatter.

So what was the last non-essential thing you bought?

For me it was the 2023 Barbie film on dvd

A pair of pajamas with flamingos on them

A load of fabric and batting for making some quilted cushion covers. I'm being very generous describing fabric as non-essential, mind 😇

Pinkmilkandcartoons · 10/03/2024 14:49

A book.

😂 very generous indeed! What is batting? Presumably it's not that cricketing or baseball thing ;-)

My current favourite pair of pyjamas have leopards with flower headdresses. Flamingo ones sound brilliant

A shit load of beads to make friendship bracelets for the Taylor Swift Eras tour.

A large electronic scrubbing brush.
It arrived today.
I have had a lot of fun trying it out on things.
I've had conversations with my mother and MIL about it. They want one too.

My DDs think I've lost it. DH sort of gets it.

A fleecey hoodie...i definitely did not need another but it was on sale so fell in the basket

SevenSeasOfRhye · 10/03/2024 14:56

Just bought a couple of thrillers from Tesco.

A book for each member of my family. It's not an essential but not a non-essential either!

Mammma91 · 10/03/2024 14:59

I done the 2 for £20 B&M toys for DS. I didn’t get a Mother’s Day (or birthday) wish or card so I took him out instead. His dad has been very hostile this week so I enjoyed some time out with just DS. It’s my last Mother’s Day as a mum of 1 as DC2 is due soon, but hey ho, DS is happy!

Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods perfume (my favourite) and milk chocolate covered raspberries (another favourite) both from Harrods online. Because why the hell not?!😛

BlueLimeRun · 10/03/2024 15:03

Cadburys mimi eggs (probably essential though).
yellow roses.

Seven glass dolphin beads in lovely cobalt and turquoise - they’re frolicking on the
the window sill while I decide what quite to
do with them.

Destined to finish off the ties on cotton sun dresses. ☀️
