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?

Nice food from M&S, gin, comfy yoga pants, gin, Jo Malone candle, gin, fancy handwash, gin.

A desk.

an ice cream from an ice cream van

A pair of next denim short dungarees
A Phillips laser hair removal machine
Some air pods.
All three have been excellent purchases

A new sundress

Playmobil!

AirPods. Worth every penny.

On a weekly basis, any salt and vinegar crisps or snacks and Cadbury’s whole nut chocolate. Also, really nice bread with peanut butter marmite or potato cakes. I’ve just ordered a load of Revolution makeup too, including a lovely eye palette and a load of other bits.

A few new cookbooks
L’occitane almond shower oil
Lots of seeds for the garden
A swiss roll tray
Wine...and more wine

Far too much. Makeup, clothes, gel colours, oh and a new house on Friday aswell! (Process started before lockdown)

Some nice new make up. I got myself a really nice foundation, I normally buy a cheap one but splashed out on an expensive one and it’s lovely. I bought myself some Clinique skin care products and a pair of lovely heeled sandals which in hindsight I probably shouldn’t have considering buy the time I’m out and about it’ll probably be autumn

A Dyson fan 🙈

I bought myself a new fat face dress last week, I never usually buy them because they're quite expensive

Plants here too 🌱🤣. And seeds and compost and a new garden trellis for the new climbing rose I've ordered 😍🌹

Some beautiful smelling, luxury block soap for the frequent handwashing.

A slate-roofed bird table for DH for keeping me company while shielding....and, a new recycle bin.

Some designer sunglasses and a bottle of caramel rum.

A waffle grill went down really well for my sons birthday! At festivals it was always his go to treat, and as we couln't go to festivals or even out for breakfast, but he was really chuffed with being able to make his own and they were really tasty! though despite supplying lots of fresh fruit he did opt for squeezey cream and caramel sauce!

Chocolate fingers. I only ever buy them when I'm feeling down in the dumps...

Lucy & yak rainbow shorts

I've just bought a flexible drain rod.
I can't wait to clean the manky slimy crap out of my bath plughole.

A pink linen duvet cover 😀

Woodwick candles

A Les Mills smart bar and Les Mills On Demand subscription. Loving it

Swingball. Waiting for it to arrive - can't wait to get in the garden and play with DH. Kids grown up and left home

A yoga mat to protect my knees when doing PE with Joe
Sweet pea seeds
Embroidery kit
Emulsion paint
Jo Malone hand cream
