Today I've ordered some seeds and a new headset from amazon.

Anyone else?

A new power cable for my laptop as my current one failed.

Actually, I think that's pretty essential.

WhereverIMayRoam · 29/03/2020 19:07

A case of wine. Arguably essential. Plus they approached ME (via email) Grin

Greysparkles · 29/03/2020 19:08

I'd say they were both essential! Especially the wine

A birthday card to be delivered next week, since I cant take it to my dad myself.

Planetzog · 29/03/2020 19:09

Joggers/sweatpants from Amazon. I have no comfy clothes to sit around the house in!

R2221 · 29/03/2020 19:09

Take away!

cologne4711 · 29/03/2020 19:10

I ordered a case of wine last week.

Otherwise, nothing because I don't need anything. TBH I was trying not to buy stuff anyway eg not buying new clothes and only from ebay and the like. All I am buying is food, paying normal bills and I might buy a subscription to a virtual cycling app called Zwift.

Not today but yesterday I ordered a kiddie trike from Amazon for my dd's 2and birthday. Have to order cards and balloons next.

HatRack · 29/03/2020 19:11

Pyjamas - my new work uniform.

Angel2702 · 29/03/2020 19:11

Not ordered yet but I have thinking ahead to kids summer birthdays, delivery dates for amazon are end of April so have been adding items to lists to make sure they have something for their birthdays.

PleaseSirMyGoat · 29/03/2020 19:11

I'm going to order DS some more magformers later, and maybe a new pair of earphones for me Smile

OddBoots · 29/03/2020 19:11

Coffee (for me) Gin (for dh) Haribo (for the offspring) and hay with added dry vegetables (for the guinea pigs).

Cotton gloves for DPs eczema on her hands - from the continuous washing :(

BillyAndTheSillies · 29/03/2020 19:14

Acetone and cotton wool ready to soak my gel nails off. I've also had to buy nail files and polish because it's been so long since I've done my nails at home.

livingthegoodlife · 29/03/2020 19:14

Gardening gloves and two books for my daughter. I grow my own veg so fairly essential although I could of course survive without. I'm do proud of my daughter's reading, she is only six and has just completed her first proper chapter book so I'm rewarding her with two more.

Because that's all that matters, the economy.

A few more deaths is a small price to pay

LittlePesto · 29/03/2020 19:15

Multi pack of leggings and 3 oversized tshirts! I want to be comfy!

Birthday cards and presents for people I wont see, a google home for my mum and dad and some letter box sweets for my friend to brighten her day a little. Trying to find somewhere I can buy wall paint, my walls are freshly plastered and the rooms are so dark!

EnglishRain · 29/03/2020 19:16

Peter Rabbit baby clothes in the Joules sale

LooseGoose29 · 29/03/2020 19:16

Some dry coir compost because I can't get manure and my veg beds need dressing. Hope it comes.

Wannabangbang · 29/03/2020 19:17

Waffle mix, chocolate mix and make up for my dd who's turning 14 soon.

delilahbucket · 29/03/2020 19:18

Looking to see if anyone has bought anything from me 😂. My sales have been of Christmas proportions this weekend. Can tell it's been cold and a bit wet out.

wondering7777 · 29/03/2020 19:18

I've ordered absolutely loads of baby stuff as am due to give birth in five weeks. Most of it is essential but there are a few extras in there!

Greysparkles · 29/03/2020 19:19

Because that's all that matters, the economy

Glad you agree Grin
I've got my DD birthday coming up in a few weeks, as I don't currently have any income I'm going to be on the looking for a couple of online bargains. Something to brighten her day up
