Materialism: The "What have you bought?" Thread

I have inherited many traits from the Swedish side of my family - binge drinking, stoicism in the face of adversity, an inexplicable love of salt liquorice - but my firm belief in döstädning is perhaps foremost among them. No Marie Kondo shit, just keeping on top of things so that your relatives don't have to deal with it all at some point. Not that I know who'll be dealing with it in my case, in the absence of any descendants, but still. :lol:

How does your fella feel about that?

He mostly buys more books.

So, not more vases and pan sets then? I'd kill for for a partner who just wanted books. Books are easy; buy 'em, read 'em, donate 'em.

 

We've honestly got a fucking washing machine down there that's not connected or owt. There it is, sitting there, taking up space in what should be my little Fortress of Solitude. Too cumbersome for me to move without another couple of strapping lads and some specialist equipment.

My lass just keeps buying mugs. She has a particular liking for Emma Bridgwater ones. When they’re all washed there’s not enough room in the fucking cupboard for them all. Oh, and my Father’s Day present (allegedly off the kids) :

I'm going to ask the bairns to get me CT's wedding pic on a mug. (Might order it direct from his SIDE HUSTLE actually?) :cuppa:
