I’ve treated myself to a present!

A pom pom maker from amazon After buying granddaughter one and looking up all the lovely things you can make with them.

I bought the first three mentioned items as presents! Dental jet device and bamboo pillow for my son. New iPad kindle fire for DH. Annoyingly it jumped up £30 after black friday/ cyber monday. Lesson learnt there.
May buy a family photo calendar. So nice turning the page!

We treated ourselves to a new set of crockery just before Christmas so we could have it to use when family came round.

I've ordered a couple of Moorish design scarves from One Hundred Stars, a bargain in their sale.

Next thing on my list is rather more expensive, a new pocket sprung mattress for my bed. I hope I may get some discount.

How is it? Does it work better than other stylers/ hairdryers ?

I'm buying myself some perfume, 'Lou Lou'. It isn't very expensive, a small bottle of eau de parfam costs about £15 but despite my hints nobody bought it for me .

My new specs, prescribed after the annual optician’s visit yesterday, will be my ‘belated’ present to myself, but at £400 are definitely coming out of Our Joint Account! No ifs or buts! Needs must!

I don't really regard them as presents, but have bought new work shoes, a dress, various other clothing items and a warm coat. ONLY because I'm going overseas to work and need warm clothes. And I need a new pair of shoes for work. Boring spending really. Nothing nice.

phoebes are you turning into Shirley Valentine?

Slightly off topic, my very generous granddogs gave me a £100 Amazon voucher, instead of the customary Euro when the Bodach was able to Christmas in the Canaries. I decided that rather than fritter it away on wee things, I’d buy a single item that I’d never usually buy. £70 for a Jo Malone scented candle? £50 for some ‘ miracle’ skincare product? I just couldn’t do it, so it looks like I’ll be frittering!

DH always bought me jewellery for Christmas, so I went to the same jewellers and bought myself a pair of pearl stud ear-rings, and pretended they were from him. I am too scared to wear the diamond studs he bought me a few years ago in case I lose one!

I’m going to save up to buy myself a 60 inch television. It’s going to take a while but I’m fed up of squinting at my current 40 inch one to see any sort of writing and subtitles and even people’s faces.

Billy Connolly,s new book. Only read the first few pages and was in hysterics

Three e.books to enjoy again having lost them 'cos of a glitch with my Kindle. Lora Adams' "The Belle Fields" and its sequel "Ashes of Roses" and a novelty book "Say Kangaroo" - a poetry book by Five Sisters. Would recommend all three if you have the time to sit and be transported away from the humdrum!

A new duvet in the sale. I thought I was feeling colder because of my age but looking at the old duvet it was very thin and I must have had it about 14 years!

Booking myself into day spa!

Just love all these posts - hearing how you all treat yourself is fun. We should do it more often and not feel at all guilty...????

I do it throughout the year but there’s something about it being post Christmas that gives me that tingle. ?

I felt no guilt in ordering myself a craft kit and a book in December. Neither item was very expensive but I had requested them from DH when asked for my recent birthday and didn't get either. These and a spare box of chocolates are my reward to myself now my visitors have gone home. I resisted the temptation to open either parcel and will be indulging myself today, even though I ordered them I am very excited.

yattypung, what is the name of Billy’s new book? The only one I can see on Amazon is ‘Tall Tales and Wee Stories’, but it says it won’t be released till January 2020.

I went shopping in the Pandora Sale!

What did you buy in the Pandora sale?

A Shark hoover-DD says hers is brilliant. It a late Christmas present for DH really!

I had new specs just before Christmas: lovely turquoise ones but I consider them essential. So, I have ordered a set of 36 metallic acrylic paints from Artezia in their sale and a subscription to Artists & Illustrators magazine , also in a ‘sale’. We only had one present at Christmas in Secret Santa so I don't feel too guilty .....well, only just a wee bit

You’ll love the Shark hoover! I thought the AirRam K9 was the bees knees until I got Shark Liftaway.

Knitting yarn from JL. Really good quality, blue faced leicester/alpaca mix. I cleaned JL out and bought enough for 5 items in their sale. I also bought the rowan book elsewhere and will be able to use every scrap of wool

I may well buy a fitbit or similar for my birthday, no cc right now as I had a fraudulent transaction and the cc was cancelled. Ohmother I bought a shark cordless via qvc several months ago. Its even better than my miele and much more convenient
