What’s the last thing you bought online?

I've always allowed myself £5 a week 'play money' for stocks and raffle tickets.  I'm not exactly a big spender.    

Saying that, the last thing I bought online was 5kg of peanuts in the shell, so I can feed my growing jackdaw army.

Just finished off a bottle of whisky (it lasted several months, used to last a week) and replaced it with a nice sounding single malt that I haven't tried before.

Drinking much less has its advantages as I wouldn't have been able to justify getting something like this before.

Looking forward to trying it...

Ha ha @Ada

That's nice @woodbine  

@Rosie_Scope oh nice you have a sewing machine, do you use it often? What do you like sewing? My Mum has a sewing machine that we got her for her birthday but doesn't get chance to use it much. It's only a basic one but it's a very useful tool. I helped my Mum remember how to use it as I learnt how to use a sewing machine at school. I remember my sewing teacher tell me I was the best male student she had ever taught!!!! I don't know if that would be allowed these days! That said, I took it as a compliment instead of looking to get offended as is fashionable today.

@66Mustang, I use it a fair bit. I often help a local theatre making costumes for productions, and I do alterations and make clothes for myself or friends. I only have a basic machine too but it does the job! Brilliant that you were good at it at school, it's a great skill to have! Even just knowing the basics is useful and opens up so many possibilities

Coffee pads, low carb bread, wheelchair tyres & tubes, also some Flexyfoot crutch ferrules as I nearly had a fall because the main cup came out, but can't complain, they've lasted about 10 years.

I had delivery of my whisky a few days ago.

I have only had 2 drams so far but it is very nice. On my first sip I was unsure because I could definitely taste the fact that it was 46% alcohol and not the standard 40% (I am relatively new to whisky and have only tried 40% whiskies up to this point). However on the subsequent sips I was able to put that to one side and it has rather a lot of nice flavours.

The only thing I am a bit miffed about is that there is a competition on now whereby every purchase enters the buyer into a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the distillery in Scotland, with eligible purchases beginning the day after I purchased!!!

An extension cord. Currently sorting out a new computer set up!

66Mustang

That's exciting @Hannah_Scope I quite like computers, what sort of computer are you getting?

Hannah_Alumni

@66mustang I like both the mac system and windows, so I bought a new screen from HP and upgraded my Mac Mini, bought a HDMI switch and will set up both systems on one monitor. 

I like to craft but find half of my software's are better on PC and the others better on mac. Hoping it will be a space saver! 

66Mustang

Oh that's a good idea @Hannah_Scope

I agree I like them both as well and have too noticed different things being better on different operating systems... Especially a video game I like to play. It will play fine on a Mac but it seems to demand more resources of a Mac, it requires a good Mac but can be played on a relatively moderate PC.

I can't really justify buying a PC just for a video game plus the few things I do that run better on PC, though... especally as a half decent PC to play my game is still around £1000 - if I am already spending £1,500 on the Mac I could just add that to the Mac budget and buy a £2,500 Mac and have one blazing fast computer instead of 2 just half decent ones  

Hannah_Alumni

@66Mustang That is where I found I had issues. I have a really good PC but needed the basics of the mac system to do some of my lighter work. I also like mac for storing my ancestry research. 

I'm not much of a gamer, I like my Nintendo switch, but like that I can hook it to this new PC screen!

I used to love the Sims!! I had "Sims FreePlay" or a similar name on my iPad and played it for like 3 years until my iPad broke and I lost my progress. It was free to play like the name suggests but they charged if you wanted to speed things up, which I never did. It is such a cute game and had no violence or anything like that
