I don't need anything but as usual there are things I asked for for Christmas that I didn't get. So I'm wondering whether to indulge myself...

Whymustyoubringinthebirds · 27/12/2018 10:29

As a recipient of cashmere lounge socks for Christmas I can confirm that yes you do need them Grin

MacarenaFerreiro · 27/12/2018 10:29

I got a John Lewis voucher for Christmas and have just ordered myself a pair of Joules pyjamas and some nice knitting yarn.

Do it! My Amazon wish list is 95% books, not a single book was given, in fact my step mum kept pestering me and saying there was nothing on my wish list when there were already about 20 books on it. So I shall be treating myself to some more books! I was happy to receive anything btw. I’m not ungrateful, but every year people ask what I want, I tell them I would like books, and no one buys them! Heathens!!!!

RedPandaMama · 27/12/2018 10:30

Nothing! I can't find anything I like and was so looking forward to having a spend Sad

falaciousreasoning · 27/12/2018 10:31

RickOShay · 27/12/2018 10:35

Bojangles33 · 27/12/2018 10:36

A new iron and a new washer dryer as ours died Christmas week 😂 exciting stuff.

NorthernFlowerHouse · 27/12/2018 10:37

A bear onesie from Dunelm. Made me smile and my house is freezing! Can't wait for it to arrive! Oh and some books

Bibijayne · 27/12/2018 10:41

Pretty flat shoes. Baggy jumpers

Tailrunner · 27/12/2018 10:41

I've ordered a new swimsuit and some running leggings. I didn't 'need' either but I'm working hard at getting fit and these will make me feel good while I do.

I got two, only one of which I actually wanted. But a poor show.

Looking for a slouchy cashmere cardi. I got a cashmere hat at Christmas and it's lovely.

SusanneLinder · 27/12/2018 10:44

A crisp white shirt and a new pair of jeans. Cost me £20.50 in Next Sale. Don't need anything else.

Rick I could fit in another cashmere jumper. Where is the half price sale please?

A new mattress and potentially a tumble dryer but it would have to live in the garage 😂

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 27/12/2018 10:45

We're going to have a mooch round Birmingham on Saturday with the dc.

I did buy dc4(3) some more wooden train set yesterday as it was half price at £37.50 in the ELC online sale.

ShotsFired · 27/12/2018 10:47

Possibly some new carpet.

I can barely contain myself with the excitement...

CurlsandCurves · 27/12/2018 10:49

After my post in S&B last night I found the best deal i could on Elemis pro collagen marine cream. Got a Christmas gift set from Allbeauty. A 50ml pot each of the day and night cream, an eye mask and gift bag for £96. Which is pretty good when the pots of cream are £85ish each at full retail price.

And for all of us I got a new electric toothbrush in the amazon sale. Was £229, got it for £55.

PatchworkElmer · 27/12/2018 10:49

A meriono wool jumper, PJ bottoms and a work dress. I’ve spent most of my ‘sales money’ on clothes for DC.

Rick keep looking for a jumper with the right neck. Even if its less of a bargain, you will wear it more, and so cost per wear will be barginous.

I'm hoping my Christmas jumper and teeshirt will arrive before I fly home. Otherwise Mum get custody of them til the summer! DS2 needs more school socks. Don't think I can fit school shoes in the suitcase, so will have to buy mega expensive ones when we are back home.

Racecardriver · 27/12/2018 10:53

Bras. Support 30Fs can get costly. And children’s clothing for next year. And New Years presents (USSR tradition).

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 27/12/2018 11:11

I was very disappointed at the pure collection and woolovers cashmere jumpers yesterday. I'd love to know where you're shopping, Rick.
