Sparklies

Last update · 31 July 2019

Sparklies serves two purposes, primarily to curb my own spending and keep my targets in sight. When I know what I'm saving for it makes it easier to avoid impulse buying and I get the stuff I need / want quicker.
The other purpose, I guess, is to point people at when Christmas / birthday is on the horizon and said people have no idea what to get me. I think I'm easy to buy for, though, so this probably won't come into it much. You all know the sort of stuff I like!

Kitchen

If you do get any of this stuff for me, harsh as it sounds, please don't halfarse it =( I'm going to get all this stuff for myself properly, so if I get dodgy plastic chopsticks or tongs that will scratch my Teflon coating they'll just get chucked out and I'll buy something better. Always quality over quantity — I'll always appreciate one awesome rubber scraper over three dodgy implements that'll break in three months. If colour is an option, green is always preferred. Especially lime green.

This is all conditional. I'm aiming for a size 12 before I start buying clothes again. In the process of losing weight, so anything I buy before I've reached my target will just stop fitting, and that's not cool.
