Last non-essential you bought

[BresciaBike]

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 handbag

Whiskey & a wheelbarrow!

And do you intend to sit in the wheelbarrow whilst drinking said whiskey?

Not sure if DD's reading habit counts as essential but the last item I bought was a book for her and before that a George Foreman grill/panini maker (also for her).

Matching hoodies for me and my dog ready for camping season!

A paint your own fairy and dinosaur kit for younger 2 to paint today in the event of rain.

24 audible credits. I'll try to make them last this year, and use 2 per month. Last year I used them all in about 3 months.

A Crystal Art kit

Just bought a bundle
Of bits that I don't need or even particularly want

@obsessedwithfreshbread

Gorgeous!!!!

id just like to note that there haven't been anywhere near enough photos on this thread!!!

I just bought a really pretty indoor watering can; it's not arrived yet but picturing it on the shelf with the plants is making me happy.

face cream that is apparently going give a miraculous glow up to my tired skin

I def believe it

This sounds kind of great!

I hope @Zerotoleranceforgoats is going to be pushing it full of goats whilst drinking whisky

Depends what we're including I suppose?

But I guess mid Feb, little bee necklace that just 'took my fancy' in a barn shop when out for lunch.

A bottle of rum-cask-aged Jura single malt, on offer in Sainsbury's.

Some earrings at a craft fair.

On Friday I bought myself 2 new pairs of black "work trousers" from Next.

My current favourite pair, which are god-knows how old, are getting very thin and have that shiny look that old clothes get. The seams around the bum were getting a bit obvious as well, and I was concerned they were going to give up at any time.
Anyway, went to Next for a replacement. Couldn't chose between two styles. One slightly more casual and "lightweight", the other a heavier fabric and more formal... So got them both! £54.

Some books for myself

12 primulas, they looked so bright and pretty, I planted them yesterday.

Some tingly and cherry flavoured lube in Ann Summers!

It's just the wadding that makes a quilt thick and soft. I'm not keen on wadding as a word, though. I file it up there with moist.

Nail polish

Earlier in the week a Babyliss Big Hair which I've just tried 👍

Just back from Rome this morning where I bought yet another handbag 😳
