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

Anyone else?

I’m thinking of ordering some squared paper for DC1’s maths work.
He’s making a right hash of his sums on normal paper.

Ordered a bamboo bath shelf thingy, as
fed up propping my phone on the ledge and hoping it doesn't fall off and plop into the water.

Having everyone around me all day every day, while I'm trying to work is doing my head in (only half joking) and escaping to have a soak in the evening is my one pleasure.

I’ve ordered kinetic sand, a swingball, magnetic world map puzzle, paints and play dough.

don't delivery drivers get paid per delivery? do they have the kind of contracts that would remunerate them i'd for they weren't delivering? i thought delivery was Uber style no rights these days (not that it should be but hey that's capitalism/it wasn't me who voted for the tories, ever) so if people aren't ordering they aren't getting paid... and I'm assuming they, like me, need to get paid?

@MinorArcana if you have a printer you can make squared paper in Excel Smile

I ordered some make up today because it was such a good buy and I’m desperate for a Garmin so will probably order one of those soon too.

Foundation

Not essential at all but can’t get to the make up in Superdrug when I went to collect my prescription my plan was to buy it then

Vain would still like to look ok going to work and from eating so much crap I’m spotty

Reusable sanitary wear, I’ve had problems with dreadful rash for years, long story so last resort.

A case of wine (totes essential) 🍷

Candles and reed diffusers, for my teenage daughter's pit.

@reasonswhyimdifferent thanks for the tip Smile

Amazon fire stick, it was reduced to £20. I had one previously but have left it at my dads, I'm an idiot.

Dog clippers.

Fake eyelashes- my extensions have all fallen out 😭

Diptique candles!

I’m trying not to order anything non essential currently as the post men and women are not being adequately protected and expected to work in squashed small environments to sort the post and are not being allowed to observe social distancing at work. So I don’t want to contribute to this.

Hairydogmummy · 01/04/2020 22:31

Over the last few week...loungewear from Sosandar, jogging bottoms and fitness wear for DS16 (only ever used to exercise in PE lesson), stuff to soak off my gel nails at home, stuff from Neom sale. Only thing today was M and fruit hamper but that's kind of essential

A growth mindset journal for 9yo DD. If homeschooling has revealed one thing so far, it's that she has the OPPOSITE of growth mindset!!!
