Can you watch Apple TV without an Apple Device? Curious as I'd love to watch a few things on there.

😳

Yes I think so. Set up an account, download app onto smart TV or laptop, and you can get a week free trial and then it's seven quid a month I think.

Barry M value make up bags.

Something to do.
I got a macrame set and learned how to make plant hangers

Something linked to a hobby if you have one? I ordered an electric propagator recently when I was sad (i love gardening). So glad I was sad now! That was just under £30 - it's really cute.

I bought a lovely tin of biscuits from F&M last week. I needed a new cake tin and then saw it and couldn't resist!

@Finallycaved Did you buy anything in the end?

Finallycaved · 20/04/2023 20:09

@PoseyFlump No I didn’t actually! But, I did have a chat with DH who took the kids after work and that meant I could get out for a walk to clear my head a bit and that lifted my mood. Thank you for asking! And I’m having a read through now to make a list!

A pretty jigsaw puzzle by Elena Essex (and tell everyone to leave you alone)

I’m not the OP, but I am now the happy owner of an Elena Essex puzzle. Thanks for the recommendation!

That biscuit tin looks amazing! Have you eaten any/all of them yet? Love that you treated yourself!

PoseyFlump · 21/04/2023 05:54

@toastofthetown aww lovely, which one did you go for?! I've asked for Lego flowers for my birthday 😂

Great thread @Finallycaved and glad you got some peace and quiet!

An what a nice thred.

Tirrrrred · 21/04/2023 06:05

Thread. I hope you feel better soon. What did you decide?

I might pinch some of these ideas.

Notamum12345577 · 21/04/2023 06:07

Something from love honey can be got for less than 30, and will cheer you up. I would have said Ann summers, but they are more expensive

Robyn847 · 21/04/2023 07:10

Stretchy flying flick-a-chicken off Amazon. Great fun for only a few quid. Don't worry if it gets stuck to your ceiling, they fall off eventually.

Finallycaved · 21/04/2023 08:01

I’ve not bought anything yet but have done a tonne of research! did download Wordle, the hiking trail app, and Libby for ebooks as would like to try the 12 week course someone mentioned.
So many birthday ideas!!
Id like the F&M biscuit tin & pineapple tea bags
Lolas cupcake unicorn decorating kit
(had Lego flowers before) but maybe more
Nuxe body oil travel set
Toy from love honey don’t mind what!
White vest top
Dr Marten cushioned socks
Apple TV sub
Sub to Flo the period app as my period has come with vengeance and that’s why I was probably feeling meh!
Enjoy your purchases!

Great thread @Finallycaved and glad you got some peace and quiet!

I asked DH to surprise me for my birthday and he chose Ocean Deep (and gave it to me early!). I also have my eye on the mushroom one, which I’m sure I’ll have before the year is out.

PoseyFlump · 21/04/2023 15:35

That's funny @toastofthetown I bought the mushroom one and have my eye on Ocean Deep! The mushroom one was lovely to do, nice colours and finish. I'm now aiming at building a collection of favourite 'keeper' puzzles.

You need an apple account but I found a hack if you dont have an apple device to get one, you can download the apple music app on android and set one up on there

ReasonsToBeCheerfull · 05/05/2023 16:03

I was wanting something to cheer myself so came back to look at this thread which is very nice indeed.

I'd add to it fleecy pj bottoms which can be found for under £30!
