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

An Anbernic RG Nano.

(Though technically, I've bought a birthday present for my mum since then. But IMO there's nothing non-essential about that — I'd be in the doghouse otherwise. And socks are essential, right? I know, I know… but she likes new socks and there's LITERALLY nothing else I can get her, even after spending hours a day for several days trying to find something.)

@zingally

see, I would class those as essential.

A book and a wetsuit arriving tomorrow can't wait

We've had a rubbish start to the year but due to that have unexpectedly come in to a not-insignificant amount of £; so DP and I went out this weekend to treat ourselves. All non essentials.

For me: Mulberry bag, Seasalt tunic and new hair diffuser
For him: Dr Martens, Chanel shower gel and three vintage records
For the family: Eurostar tickets to Paris for half term

I'm now not spending on anything but essentials for the rest of the month!

@Cornishbelle

that sounds like torture!!

non essential torture admittedly!!

E@UnravellingTheWorld
that's a lovely jumper!!

😱 Mrs Moneybags 😁

I didn't know you can shop online with Harrods and those choccy raspberries look delicious. As for the perfume I haven't heard of it. Hope you enjoyed your indulgences !

As for me it was yet more candles and a box of Cadbury cream eggs.

Must only eat one per day 😎

Hahaha oops! Was on the train and lost connection!

@Lovetok

oooh FAB, do you live somewhere you can get to snow easily or will you just have to be forced to find a resort with some snow & go away?

@obsessedwithfreshbread

oooh very cute!!!

💕

@claracluck1978 I'm sorry to hear how you came to have some 'treat' money 🌷

but I hope you all enjoy them

Trainers even though I have 15 pairs 🤷🏽‍♀️

A ginger beard for DS to go to school WBD as Mr Gum.

A new plant to replace the dead one in the hallway. Which will die in approx 3 months ready to be replaced by another 🪴

Summer clothes

I drive already.

A giraffe soft toy for my Labrador.

He is pining as we lost his sister ddog unexpectedly last week.

So I think it was quite essential really. And he does seem to love Giraffe a whole lot.

I’m certainly not an Insta-fan but I meant colourway as colour combination.
So two different tops in the same combination of grey/white/lemon cool tones.
I’ve been stuck on navy blue far too long!

Nice hair mask and non sulphate shampoo after forst visit to haordressers for a year

Ted Baker shimmery peach coloured eyeshadow because I saw someone on telly wearing shimmery peach eyeshadow and thought it looked nice!

A pack of hair elastics.

A few candles in white company yesterday.

Went to the garden centre today and bought a pack of star shaped icing cutters, just in case I ever want to cut icing stars. Might be useful around Christmas (I already have snowflake cutters).

A crochet shopping bag

That's great info, thanks. When you Google coding there's so much information which can be overwhelming so it's good to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you so much ❤️
