  • I picked out and sent OH the link to a walkman from Amazon which he did order and wrap himself. We also had a new telly between us so that he and DD could play on the wii that DD was having for xmas - not what i wanted hence the walkman and he won't have to suffer what he calls my rubbish music now (he must be deaf as he doesn't appreciate Bon Jovi) - lol

    I've also had a bit of a shop for some craft stuff as sizzix had a 75% off sale a few days ago - they don't send them until the 5th January so will maybe arrive when he's gone back to work :rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Oh poor you - that sounds painful.

    After much uhming and aahing I decided to treat myself to a year's membership of a day spa so I can spend all day lounging about if I want and I get discounted treatments:j

    That sounds painful..............hope your feeling better

    I didn't buy myself anything but did make myself a journal/diary to keep next year -started it off covering Christmas this year.

    0H bought me a retro phone (we needed new one for the lounge so joint pressie really) and I gave him a holiday brochure for Worthing and a Promise to take you on holiday' voucher. Had some insurance money through that will cover it and my son lives there. We haven't been for a while so it'll be a nice treat for us all.

    I bought myself a bottle of Baileys and a North Face rucksack from Blacks.

    I had my eye on a handbag in the Debenhams sale but I decided to wait until it was reduced further and now it's gone. :rolleyes:

    *kicks self*
  • Hoping to revive this thread! What did I buy myself? Nothing but I got what I wanted given to me free via Freecycle-a treadmill! No more gym fees and it will keep me mobile!
