Two oil-filled radiators from Currys, £15 each. It was a slightly odd experience collecting them. Maybe it's because i rarely do in person shopping and/or because i'm old. There was music blaring out. There were more staff than shoppers, but only a couple helping out. My eyes were bombarded with lycra clad lady bums, which was fantastic. The lady who served me i recognised but didn't realise who it was exaclty until i left. i think she recognised me. My eyes were bombarded with lady bums...

Customers. The staff were mostly male. No lycra on them, thankfully

Lipbalm that smells like apple cake, it's so comforting and cosy, perfect for this time of year
It's also 4x the size of their usual ones so it feels like using a pritt stick, what a bonus

Lube, a Fleshlight and some beetroot juice.

I had a little holdup at the post office collection for the parcels though, lol. They're asking for barcodes now... ? Anyone else get this? I've used the place for Amazon collections for a while now and it always used to be ID and sign a little thing. All of a sudden, when i buy sex toys, it's this new way of doing things. So i had to log into my emails and show them these barcodes. The beetroot parcel scanned but the other one didn't (of course!). It got to a point where the lady suggested i log into my Amazon account and show her tracking, open the parcel and identify the contents, etc I held my cool, didn't say anything and she decided to go back to trying the barcode again. It didn't work and she spoke to her colleague about just handing it over as is and they agreed....

^ They will end up with a lot of red faces all round and probably some complaints if they start asking people to open their parcels of sex toys infront of them! I don't see why it would be different to anything else really, as long as you've provided ID to prove it's your parcel and you're over 18, it's not as if it's anything dangerous.

It was a bit of an ordeal! I wasn't worried about being 'found out' really. If it came to them seriously suggesting opening it up i'd have been quite happy to say it was private. It was really silly. There's a barcode and a numbered code in the email and neither was working. It doesn't help that the parcels are covered in barcodes. I did suggest covering the one's not required but it still didn't work.

Beetroot juice with a twist of apple. Yeah, it's nice. A bit different to your usual orange or apple. It's supposedly good for a number of things.

I'll have to give it a try. I thought I hated beetroot, but it turns out I only hate it with vinegar. It's delicious raw and grated.

I remember liking it as a kid. Not with much enthusiasm though. It's very distinctive in looks and taste, i think that probably appealed. I haven't really eaten it much as an adult. I came onto the juice probably because it was discounted and i was 'researching' about something or rather.

^ my sister grows her own and I just love them raw

I've always felt an affinity with beetroot and tomatoes after being a former chronic blusher.

Sounds like you handled it well Rocket Spud, I'd be a shaking mess! lucky that she didn't make you open it.
(do the beetroot juice and lube go in the fleshlight in a 'shaken, not stirred' kind of situation? )

yeah, it was weird. All the previous times had been ID and sign the thing and now this barcode palaver. I did wonder whether they know it's 'private' goods somehow, like there's some particular part of the code that gives it away or something. Obviously not exactly giving away details of what's within but .. something. It's funny because i mentioned the ID and sign thing a couple of times and they were like, 'no, that's only for Royal Mail parcels - Amazon have always been code scanned'. So odd. Because all the parcels i've picked up there have been Amazon and every time it's been ID and signature. And it was the usual staff. Weird, weird stuff.

Lol, no, but that little combo is certainly an idea. I'd have dyed my skin red trying... which would be pretty cool actually ...

A Snoreeze device to hopefully reduce my snoring a bit. Requires a bit of faff to mould it to shape so I'll do that in the next few days.

Depeche Mode tickets. Not cheap, but I managed to stir myself from my misery to muster up the enthusiasm. I was supposed to go with my sister last time, but I was deep into must make money, must save money, there must be No Fun or Bad Things will happen mode.

^^ you need to get your husband to attach a bungee cord to your belt buckle so you can do the dance from the end of the film. That reminds me of when me and my sister used to dangle dressing gown ties down the side of the stairs and swing. (We were left on our own far too often hehe)

^ aw nice! It's great to be able to have gigs to look forward to again :D
