To ask what you’ve bought to cheer yourself up

[Stuckinarut79]

A lot of this time has been great and a real eye opener as to how many material things we don’t need. But I’m really struggling now and feel like a treat, money’s tight but I’ve spent way less than usual, so looking for an idea on a bit of a treat. What have you bought that’s made you smile?

Don't get Lefant. It's great also mops as well as hoovers but I can't get the replacement parts. I emailed the company and they said they will try to send stock to Amazon.

@Justasecondnow I eventually chose this one www.amazon.co.uk/Bagotte-Connected-Navigation-Super-Thin-Self-Charging/dp/B083RVK8XF/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&psc=1&keywords=Bagotte+bg700&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE2UFlZRlg1RFdXSjgmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3NDU4MjgxSUdGT1hBQ0ZFWFNGJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2MzQ1ODMzMkxOOTBSTlY0MVJLJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1590927031&sr=8-2-spons

Mine is actually the bg700 and was about £50 cheaper but I can't see it for sale anymore.

It's brilliant, I can't tell you how much I love it . It encourages you to keep the floor clear so the robot can do it's stuff, I have mine programmed to run every day at 11am to 1 hour. It does the whole downstairs, even under the couch 🙏

Then, every few days I take it upstairs to my room in the loft and get it to do a clean up there.

I don't used it in the dc rooms at all as they can't be trusted not to have pieces of crap on their floor 😂

@Stuckinarut79 you can get a Nintendo Switch Lite from Smyths Toys online.

I can’t describe how wonderfully comforted you feel when covered by a weighted blanket. (they are recommended to people who are over-stressed, anxious, and have sleep disorders, etc. (Not me thankfully. I just liked the idea of trying one out). You feel as if someone is holding you in their arms. Bliss.

A smart tv. Should have done this a year ago instead of watching prime and netflix on my ipad.

A sandwich toaster. This made me "the best mum on the planet" apparently.

Two reclinable sun loungers, am on my one as i type.

Running clothes as mine stink no matter how much i wash them.

A yellow summery shirt and a tshirt from H&M

Apple Watch, old model and from what I saved not buying other stuff! It is great with the exercise function. I have really improved my stamina and it reminds (bullies) me if I slacken a bit...

Ready planted hanging baskets and some solar powered lights for the garden

For anyone who wants robo hoovers, we got the Bagotte bg700. I was really sceptical but it’s absolutely great, good for daily cat fur/dust/crumbs etc!

Like a poster above said, because you have to have your floor clear it’s really encouraging me to keep tidier in general for it 😀

@Mummyshark2019 thanks I can find the lite, I want the console so we can all play! Though I think the games work for both so I could get a lite for me until they get back in stock...

Went a bit crazy and got a Tria laser (recommenced from posts here and it is indeed bloody amazing!) as it was in a deal with an eye wrinkle laser for £1.
FOREO UFO face mask gadget thingy, Rio 60 second facial toner. Can you sense a theme?

A big box of blood-red in-season strawberries. The smell seduced me.

Some toiletries which have really got rid of my acne!
A clip on laptop case to stop it getting scratched
A dressing gown (got my wear out of that!)
A fleece blanket (a lot of use out of that too!)
Some black denim shorts
Slider style slippers

A berlei bra.

New sheets.

Nice olives/oils.

Badedas shower gel.

Wetsuit for UK summer waters.

@Blackandwhitecat. Yes, it's Velcro and has fixed my blockage in the bathroom sink. Awesome tool

I forgot my Neom diffuser, Shark vacumn cleaner and new car !!

Two enormous palm trees just now...
Reeling a bit tbh. 😳

A yucca plant. Have been wanting one since the 80s. .

Some new clothes to replace tatty items

Molton Brown perfume which came with a free gift of shower gels

DIY stuff--paint for redecorating, blinds, planks for decking (DH did it all).

Nice new lounger and cushions for the garden

10ft swimming pool which is arriving tomorrow!

Plants for the garden

Books

Makeup as I'm back to work tomorrow

A six pack of bamboo trainer socks in pink and blue spots and stripes. Best socks evah

Garden stuff - Plants, compost, trellis etc.

House stuff - storage baskets for kitchen cupboards, plastic under bed storage boxes, new placemats and a linen runner for the dining table.

Skincare to sort out my lockdown acne which is awful.

An assortment of basic vest tops and camisoles for wearing out in the garden / future summer holidays as after a declutter I've realised that I don't have any.

Carcasonne (board game) for Dh & I.

Also, a rather expensive Fitbit to embarrass me into getting more active!!

Alcohol but nothing else, in a temporary rental with no space!

I got the eufy for hardwood floors so it mops as well. If I had to choose between that and most of my closest friends the robot would win 😂 it's currently £260 on Amazon

I've just purchased a pair of red sparkly Birkenstock Arizona sandals, I love these & they cheer me up. I have a few others in the same style but in subdued navy & brown. Photos attached one taken in the shade & the other in bright sun. Love them....

Beer 🍻

What I've bought: Plants. I'm also thinking of planting a couple of silver birch trees, as I love those. Trampoline. Worth its weight in gold. Lovely salt body scrub. More garden furniture. A fire pit. A nutri-bullet blender. Books.

What I wish I'd bought: hot tub!
