What did you buy for YOU this Christmas??

Is anyone out there like me, among the gift buying for others I always buy something frivolous for me too.
This year I bought a minature soldering iron, a crucible for melting gold etc and a pair of tongues to pick it up, a melting mat and some bits and bobs for same.
I have been collecting bits and peces of old gold and silver for sometime so I can see a playtime coming up.
I haven't got a clue what I am doing..anyone know of a good book!!
So what did you buy for YOU?

I bought me what I really wanted in case no one else did (it never comes in wrong to have more than one....) some knee high socks that won't roll down in my wellies and bought OH a couple of books that I also would like to read! ;D He wants to read them himself first though!

About £1,000 worth of work done on the car. Essential really, and that included a service and MOT. Hopefully I won't see the garage for another year.
But before the massive car bill I ordered some more smellies from
http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/home.php
. They are brilliant, excellent prices and deliver quickly.
I got Vanderbilt eau de toilette and body lotion for every day and Cabotine by Gres eau de toilette and body lotion for better use. For best I still have some Opium and Givenchy Ysatis.

Books, books and more books! Three I intended to get and (ahem!) nine that I couldn't resist as they were so cheap. All about gardening or plotting, including one called Creative Propagation, over 350 pages covering methods for all different types of plants from mosses to woody monocots (oo-er!), reduced from £17.99 to 4 quid.
Also lots of Lush goodies - any excuse.

Bit of a cheat....I bought my OH the complete set of 'Carry On' films on DVD for Crimbo, but as I love them too it's a bit like buying them for myself..... 8) ;D
The Blade Runner set sounds good to me too Barnowl! I saw the film when it was first released in a small theatre in Chinatown, when we came out it was dark and raining, just like still being in the film! I've never forgotten that!

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

After Christmas present for me. With the cash that John gave me I have to buy some new rope for my post and rope "fence" round my side grass area. Some toe rag(s) have gone along and cut 5 sections of rope. How I wish I could catch them.

Amazin. took me ages to get permission to put up rope and posts, agreed on posts no higher than 1ft. We are supposed to be open plan. At the time I was trying to stop people from allowing their dogs to recycle their food on my garden. I thought I would google for strong wire but don't know what it is called. At least it would take them longer to "cut" through wire. Another idea is big link chain but I need about 30 mtrs and it works out quite expensive. Gotta get my thinking cap on :)

Taking this away slightly from the original question... I plan to buy myself some of the things that I didn't get.... liners for inside my wellies to keep my feet warm... thermal knee legnth socks... a deerstalker type hat... wood for raised beds.... seeds and some other stuff that'll come to me as I'm browsing various seed and gardening websites! ;D

I always buy myself at least one Christmas present. This year there were three. A Bosch cordless screwdriver, A cream whipper and 'Nigella Express'. Most other things on my wish list were presents from Gordon. He is a love - he'd already bought me a 32 cell Root trainer set way back in October as a start and ended up giving me another 5 other pressies 8).

I bought myself a bracelet and necklace (because I'm fussy ;D) and a travel book light.
I may have to buy perfume as F. Christmas forgot.
