Just that really !

Lockdown has got me pretty down and as it's payday weekend I wanted to ask what small things you're treating yourselves too .... I'm also missing a Saturday mooching & shopping ☹️

So far my list is ;

Mumsnet recommended Origins Ginger Fizz bath float www.marksandspencer.com/ginger-float-cream-bubble-bath-500ml/p/hbp60151640

Pomegranate Candle from a small company in my area that just launched www.celonalondon.com/

Also got my eye on some Panzers cookies panzers.co.uk/bakery/panzers-valentines-linzer-biscuits/

Inspire me !!! Bath products !! Brownies in a box . What are you buying?

Lighthearted fun please. Yes I know we are in a pandemic.

I did also buy a star canvas bag from Lovely Eira last week for £20.
I have wanted one for ages.
It's lovely.

This wallet/bag 😍 I've also got one of their handbags on my wish list. A lot more than I would normal spend though! 😬

Where else can I buy valentines cookies like the Panzers ones, just without the extortionate shipping fee!

I've just ordered 2 lace non wired bralettes from M&S, I'm fed up of the wires pushing into my flash after a long day, its not that they're the wrong size but I have a tummy roll that pushes into the wires when I've sat down a lot (which is a lot at the moment with covid and home schooling from 8am to 2pm) and some days I just can't bear it.
I have a red skater style dress arriving too, with sleeves, it's like a waffle cotton mix and I'm quite excited about it. I have a nice retro t shirt coming too.
A bit of a boring one but I've got some Makeup Eraser cloths coming too, a 7 day set with a wash bag and an XL size cloth free. I've never tried them before but I'm moving to another country soon and feel like they'd be a nice fresh start in my new home, I've ordered 2 sets as I'm going to encourage my son to use them as he's almost a teenager and I think it'll help keep his skin clear.
I'm not in the UK and I order these from neighbouring country's to where I am so I have a bit of a wait, and if they don't fit I'm stuffed! 😂

Philip Kingsley Extreme Elasticizer. Now I just hope my baby doesn't wake up while I'm using it in the bath!

TeeBee · 02/02/2021 11:14

Agraria pot pourri. Can't wait for it to arrive. Possibly one of the most indulgent purchases I've ever made but fuck it.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 02/02/2021 12:13

Milkshake heat protector
Some vitamins from a thread a couple of days ago
Collagen vits

Thanks MrPanks.

goose1964 · 02/02/2021 16:40

I'm waiting to the last of the post Christmas shipping to come it's a navy t shirt and a hippyish skirt

RedWelliesAreHot · 02/02/2021 16:56

NUXE lip balm and NUXE face mask (toying with the idea of some from Fresh too.)

Lancome mascara in the sale (JLewis)

New neutral nail polish

All by mail order.

What a lovely thread. I wish I could justify some of the more luxurious buys on here, but I have nowhere to wear an Alice Temperley top even after lockdown. :(

In the spirit of buying for the life I actually have, have ordered this pair of New Balance trainers. www.amazon.co.uk/New-Balance-Womens-624v5-Fitness/dp/B07KRH5H35/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&crid=32O4MBQ9NHL14&keywords=new+balance+trainers+women&sprefix=new+balance%2Caps%2C219&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1612287602&sr=8-14

Also my second pair of M and S jeggings. They are indeed as good as everyone says. www.amazon.co.uk/New-Balance-Womens-624v5-Fitness/dp/B07KRH5H35/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&crid=32O4MBQ9NHL14&keywords=new+balance+trainers+women&sprefix=new+balance%2Caps%2C219&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1612287602&sr=8-14

I can't see the link to the Alice Temperley top? Confused

Blossom4538 · 02/02/2021 17:55

Hotel Chocolat treats - which were meant for Feb 14th but are currently being devoured by H and I 😬

A few house bits from Next, ornaments, candles etc

Need some good anti-aging facial serum/treatment

Blossom4538 · 02/02/2021 17:55

Lux Tan Illuminating facial drops too 😬

I got one of those last year - khaki with a beaded star. They are fab especially for the price.
lockdownalli · 02/02/2021 18:25

Thanks @Onedropbeat. It's lovely, but my Giant norkage doesn't suit any kind of high neck Sad

JaceLancs · 02/02/2021 18:29

I bought 2 perfumes from tkmaxx
A jaeger cashmere jumper on eBay
A jaeger wool coat on eBay
Some Jimmy choo shoes on eBay
Thankfully I was outbid on the Vivienne Westwood scarf and handbag I was also bidding on!
In my defence I’ve not shopped for myself for a while as was concentrating on Xmas gifts fir others
Everything was a bargain and/or secondhand
I got a pay rise which was backdated for 6 months 😊

gingercat02 · 02/02/2021 18:43

New joggers from Fabletics
New hoodie from local shop [www.fortheloveofthenorth.co.uk/collections/home-page/products/limited-edition-sandcastle-royal-blue-hoodie]]
Champneys body butter souffle × 3 from Amazon as Boots don't sell it anymore

cupidsabsolutepsyche · 02/02/2021 19:05

Some Clinique foundation from my local department store which I will collect tomorrow. The lovely person who got my order ready has put some samples in too, I'm really excited to see what they are! In the meantime, new mascara, concealer, lipliner and two new makeup brushes. Some patchouli and sandalwood shampoo. Percy and Reed blow-dry spray, on my sister's recommendation, I'm really looking forward to that! Magnesium cream in the hope that it might make both me and DD fall asleep more easily. The second book (Early Warning) in the Last Hundred Years trilogy, by Jane Smiley. And lastly, a record from World of Echo music, bought with a gift card that I got for my birthday. Actually loads of things, that will keep me going for quite some time.

Ve ordered a Foreo Bear after reading a thread on here. I'm feeling very suggestible, have a bad case of lockdown blues and convinced myself I look awful. I really want to find a nice necklace, and some big earrings that don't make me feel and look like a loon

Ninkanink · 03/02/2021 14:22

I’ve just had delivery of a beautiful salad bowl ❤️
