Just wondered if anyone felt like me at the moment and decided to have a little splurge on something nice to cheer yourself up. I myself got a lovely pair of suede and sheepskin bootees, an amber bracelet and matching earrings, a wool/angora mix gilet with faux fur, and a bust of Beethoven (as you do). Anyone else done the same?
-
Cor that sounds nice, where did you get the gilet. I have just ordered some more perfume and also some hair dye, doesn't matter if it look bad, nobody will see it. :lol: Also just ordered a very scented Daphne, to plant in a container on the steps down to the garden. More seriously I have just had a flooring man here. New sitting room carpet and underlay and new kitchen flooring. Still, I cannot take it with me :D
Enjoy yours GG. Take care, regards, Mrs Bouquet

So no more special treats for the moment. Mrs Bouquet

MB, I got my gilet on Ebay. It's a Per Una one and only cost me £20.
-
I got a new shed for the garden! The old one was rotten when I moved in and was beyond repair. Or so I keep telling myself...
-
A new bigger greenhouse :D
-
I have a new Hotbin composter on the way to me and it should be here next week :D :D :D
It is for home and will live next to the shed. For someone like me with a serious case of compulsive composting, this is about as good as it gets :nowink: :wacko: :lol:

Ooh tell us more :nowink:

There’s one of those on its way to me but it’s for my sister, they slapped a surcharge on of £78 to ship to NI. Think we can send it from me via Hermes for about £15. :wacko: Did you by chance get it from Marshall’s when it was reduced to £175?

Moving up from a basic 6’ x6’ aluminium one that is about 20 years old to a fancy coloured one that in truth is only 4 foot longer but will give more space, and be prettier. The old is intact and will be given away if I can work out how to do that. there is only one cracked pane of glass. I am hoping to start dismantling it next weekend as I need a bigger base which needs to be built.
It’s very exciting - a little retirement present to myself :nowink:
-

Sorry missed this question. I bought it direct from their own website. I have got the mini version on the way, which is £150 with free delivery.
Our council have issued us with small black food waste caddys to go out with the bins each week, but I am not keen. We don’t tend to bin food, but the hot bin will deal with any we have, plus let me make some decent mulch at home for raised beds in not much time and with limited space :)
I’m justifying it as a useful indulgence. The result of having to work loads of hours at job no. 2 as we are so busy and having nowhere to spend it :blush: :lol:
-
I think this qualifies as a treat , Mrs Tenhens bought me ' Dig for Victory ' which came with some free seeds. Written by some chap from North Wales ( apparently ;) )
Very interesting reading.
Looking forward to the companion volume.
-
You know Tenhens I ordered the same thing this afternoon. Pure extravagance :lol:

For some time, we've been looking for DVDs of series that we liked when they came out, but can't get now, as they were on VHS, and aren't available.
We had a bit of luck with one, 'Moving Story', with the fabulous Warren Clarke, and in fact, it's on Youtube now, so we've seen the lot for free!
The other two have been more difficult, but we found - by accident - a site of a small firm which copies the VHS tapes to DVD, and then sells them as normal. It's a firm called WWW.FOUNDTHATFILM.CO.UK (http://www.foundthatfilm.co.uk/), and while we don't advertise here, it's worth looking at for that lost film or series! They've been very good at communication.
We've just bought 'The Paradise Club', and 'Roger Roger', both of which we remember have great stories, and also some good acting names too!
I'll let you know how we get on with the quality of the productions, but it is still a treat to have stuff you really do want to see, rather than have to put up with what they tell you to watch on today's TV!
(And I'm not being grumpy - honest)!

Not sure it counts as nice but 2 new batteries for the little old camera that still works some 17 years on perfectly well. It's not much bigger than a mobile phone and does a better job of taking pictures - it's dodo at making phone calls mind. :lol: ;)
I likes this camera and it's lasted longer than a few phones.
