Another Willow Tree figurine and for me this one has special meaning and every time I look at it I just smile.

A book for my eldest as I overheard him saying that he was saving to buy it, so it should be a nice surprise for him and hopefully it will help him with his course. https://wordery.com/crime-justice-an...Ha8aAsCW8P8HAQ

Let's hope so den, I got a bargain as they had reduced their mixed lupin bulbs. They will be rather nice when in bloom along the fence and should bring some colour to my front garden. I have never been able to plant bulbs in the front garden as the neighbours horrid trees took all the goodness and sun light from the front garden but not anymore as the trees a gone gone gone :D It is nice to finally enjoy the front garden and have it the way I want for a change.

I used to think it was nice even with its plastic glass!

This one's a little more up to date as it was a present on my 50th and seems to have real glass glass. It replaced a Sekonda which didn't have a digital display but was similar in shape.

Just bought a repacement motor for my Braun 1508 shaver off Ebay for £5. This'll be the second one I've replaced. Done the battery 3 times but I've had it for years and it does a very close shave. I did buy a newer model but it wasn't a patch on this one so it got canabalised for the motor.

An iPhone5SE (Rose Gold, 64GB) for SWMBO - her three year old iPhone5 16GB was painfully slow, and didn't have enough storage for her music and photos.

She chose this one because she likes the form-factor - she thinks the 6 is too big (for her).

A Samsung S2 9.7" in black to replace my Nexus 7 (2012). If you buy from approved stockists by 6 April you can claim £50 back. Still works out at £299.99 which is a lot.
