What boring thing are you excited about?

Went to lidl today and they've got 30% off fruit! Got some mangos and plums to add to the pineapple and satsumas I already had - on a health kick and trying to ditch the sweets - so far it's been 4 days

Also, got a new spiraliser from pro cook - so easy to use and I've been making 'spaghetti' bolognese with spiralised courgettes - delish

These two boring things have made my week so exciting 😭😭😭

New pegs 😂

New pegs, I could get excited about that, seriously I could.
I can do one better though, three pair of brand new black ankle socks from the pound store.
Been looking for plain black socks for ages, so I treated myself.

I can easily beat all that. I bought a Joseph Joseph tupperware set where the lids clip together and I'm constantly admiring it.

8 huge aubergines and several kilos of tomatoes in Makro - total cost 88p. Of course they are very ripe so I have spent today making moussaka and a bucket load of ratatouille.

New stickier labels for my cool thermal label maker. They're iridescent too 💅

Oh I love new tea towels!
I haven't had any for a long time, not proper ones anyway.
My DS gave me a new, thick cotton tablecloth that her MIL had given her and of course she never used it, so I cut tea towel sized rectangles from it, hemmed it up...new tea towels!
Hooray! 😂

Whoa! That's actually amazing 😄, such good value

You can make the food and then freeze it as well

I'm the same

I like a specific tea towel, I think that they're called terry tea towels, white with blsck stripes

They're the only ones I'll buy 😄 and love getting new ones

I just put a new Febreeze small space air freshener thingy in the bathroom and my whole house smells amazing. I'm way more excited about that than I ought to be.

FastFood · 28/02/2025 13:18

I bought new bedding recently and going to put them on tomorrow. Fresh, washed, ironed. The holy trinity of laundry.

MyBoysHaveDogsNames · 28/02/2025 13:24

I've bought a handheld mini vacuum for the stairs!

LSGXX · 28/02/2025 13:27

Painting my own nails with a new polish!

NotanotherboxofFrogs · 28/02/2025 13:28

Putting the bin out last night. For some reason my favourite bin is the blue bin.

HarperStern · 28/02/2025 13:30

@MyBoysHaveDogsNames , snap! I'm unpacking it now, can't wait to get cracking on the stair carpet Grin.

TheChosenTwo · 28/02/2025 13:31

‘Treated’ myself to new socks the other day and putting on a brand new pair every day has been such a joy 😂
socks are something I just never buy for myself, I mean I have them but mostly wear tights or dh’s socks.
Until now. Saddo but a happy saddo if such a thing exists.

LBOCS2 · 28/02/2025 13:31

We're getting new windows. It's not for 6 weeks and it's costing a lot of money, and the front of the house will still look shit as it needs decorating and a new drive, AND it probably won't make that much difference to our bills as I'm a window open person (even in winter) but I'm still excited.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 28/02/2025 13:32

I'm starting a new jigsaw tonight ☺️

Myengagementring · 28/02/2025 13:32

Not me but my husband is very excited that his new shed has arrived today and is very much looking forward to building it later. He keeps looking at the flat pack parts admiringly. 🤣

ConflictofInterest · 28/02/2025 13:32

There's a spider in my bathroom that weaves a beautiful new web every morning. It's tatty by the evening and then the next morning the symmetry and pattern shines in the sunlight. It really makes me smile to see the effort it puts into this daily work of art.

LoudPlumDog · 28/02/2025 13:34

Struggling this week from my daughter passing 3 months ago, but today was excited to go to bed with an online jigsaw to do, an audiobook to listen to, clean sheets and puppies in their beds beside me. It’s the small things getting me through…

Prepare to be amazed.

ASockofFleagulls · 28/02/2025 13:40

It's a sunny day her and I've managed to get a whole line of washing out. Happy days!
