I’ve treated myself to a present!

Vitasol your post made me titter. I was congratulated by my lovely female GP on having matching underwear. It made the embarrassing consultation so much more lighthearted. ?

Also. Have you any self help books on spendaholicism? (No offence intended) ?

Oh, and two matching bras and knickers. Haven't worn matching for years!

I bought myself a new bag for work. A new "drawstring" makeup bag which apparently are "great!" Also a book called "Feel better in Five." Yet another self help book!

A brown Radley handbag in the sale

LightAmber, good for you. My Kindle has just the same bad habits and I have long considered replacing it but it might have to wait a bit longer!

A new kindle as mine never holds it's charge long enough (it shows no battery about 10 seconds after unplugging it) and I've had it yonks so treated myself.

I'm not counting my ”idly browsing Amazon on next day delivery after a glass or two of festive cheer” purchases!

Some lovely quilting fabric in a sale, and a huge cast iron casserole dish because I love one-pot meals that I can just shove in the oven and leave to cook while I do something more interesting, like quilting. I'm also very tempted by a new phone, mine is 10 years old and I'm beginning to notice it's limitations.

I've loved reading this thread. I often used to buy myself a Christmas present, wrap it and put it under the tree. In pre-Kindle times it was often a book that I really wanted. This Christmas I treated myself to a vintage Hermès scarf in a mistletoe and holly design that I had been want wanting for some time. It has given me such pleasure to wear it.

I ordered a new coat from a retailer having a sale! Grey, wool, 3/4, classic.

Sparkly nail polish!

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

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

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

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

What did you buy in the Pandora sale?

I went shopping in the Pandora Sale!

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 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.

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

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...????

Booking myself into day spa!

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!

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!

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

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.
