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 book about how animals know know how to stay healthy in the wild, which plants to avoid so they don't poison themselves and and which to eat when they're ill.

I'm sat drinking a non essential chai latte at the moment.

But on the non food front I went a bit mad in Sephora last weekend and bought some lovely non essential makeup and hair stuff.

A snowboard! My old one was on its way out and was bought second hand many years ago, so it was time for a new one! It has made me ridiculously happy 😊

I ordered two pairs of trousers, a skirt and a jumper from M&S yesterday. I recently lost 30lbs and I literally can't stop buying clothes. I need an intervention.

I bought a book on coding (for beginners). I haven't opened it yet cos I'm scared I can't do it 🙄😂

You can definitely do it!
Additionally have you ever heard of https://codefirstgirls.com/? Despite the girlboss-y name they're very friendly and they do free online classes specifically aimed at women
