Hi Viv~It's so good to see you so happy. I agree with you on your purchases. A few years ago, I took a guided tour of some meadowlands near the shoreline. I live on one of the five Great Lakes (actually they're mis-named, they're really inland seas), While walking through the lovely flower filled meadows, Sky Larks were soaring overhead. It was magical. Thanks for rekindling that lovely memory.
Oh my goodness, Tom's midnight garden.... classic 😊😂❤ I love everyone of your treats for a tenner. I've never had the £3.00 cheese item. However, I shall be looking for it. I love radox. And the parmmer voilets and the cherry drops, and yes, I'm salivating 😂😂😂. If I have any money left in the week between Christmas and new year. I'm gunna do treats for me and see what I manage to find 😊 Brilliant video xx
We have been waiting for this !!!! Yay! What a happy coincidence those ladies Led you to the clearance shelf! Oh! The sweets!! I’d have them done in one sitting! I’m so glad you found some great things you REALLY love ( and deserve ) I’m very happy you do this! Thanks for taking us along for the fun shopping !!! ❤ I don’t know Tom’s Midnight Garden . I should like that book. All your treats are related to add up to a wonderful indulgent session!! Enjoy! xx the palmers violets remind me of ‘smarties’ candies we have here!
Oh Vivi, Parma violets wonderful, You are going to have a sugar high with all those sweet things ! You certainly managed to have a mega haul for your tenner + this year, well done. Don't forget Lidl have Christmas veg for 8p, wonderful for soup. X
Instead of a bath, a Radox foot soak is lovely and relaxing, especially if you have a hot water bottle on your lap, a hot chocolate and a book to read!
The Bird book sounds wonderful... never head of the others - but then ages 10-15 I'd only read about horses, think Walter Farley and Marguerite Henry. Today I like light hearted mysteries. Funny, I didn't like being read to as a child at all either. Give me cars/trucks or playing in the mud. Enjoy your treats and Happy Holidays!
This is so interesting. Is it the law of diminishing returns? I think because you are strict and frugal you take so much joy in the treats. People who treat themselevs all the time require more to experience the same result. Something to think on. I think those were wonderful choices.
Lovely video, when you mentioned skylark, had to look its song up on youtube. And then remebered, in english you categorise people as early birds and night owls. In my language its skylarks and owls😊💖💖💖
Bird song - I know that you don't have a smart phone but there is an app called Merlin that identifies birds by their song. In the spring I'd leave my phone in the garden for 10 minutes or so (I'd go back indoors so I didn't scare any away) and it would pick up 10 or 12 birds or maybe more and also record their song so you can play it back. Some were quite unexpected as we hadn't seen them in the garden but if they were singing as they flew over the garden Merlin would pick them up.
Vivi, my bathroom has a huge bath and a shower, at 76 with dodgy hips I dare not get in the bath because I’ll never get out. Parma violets remind me of my grandmother, to me they tasted like they had been there for years.
Good fun as a tenner is not much. Would you ever up it? Surely you can afford chocolate and wine now a little esp after moving. I would rather put heating on and not be cold than save soo much. I know we are all different. You do well x

It makes me happy to see that you have a tenner to spend on whatever you want.
How nice to be listening to the birdsong of an evening and relaxing to their songs.
I had forgotten all about parma violets, my granny always had some 😊
It's amazing what you find to treat yourself to, thanks for sharing your joy!
Ooh lovely Vivi! I'm looking forward to watching. ❤
Merry Christmas Vivi- this video made me so happy, I could feel your genuine happiness & enjoyment. 😊❤

i Remember seeing the Series Of Toms Midnight Garden❤❤
Hi Vivi when you shop at High Street during the Xmas Holiday such a pretty street..Enjoy..
Instead of a bath, a Radox foot soak is lovely and relaxing, especially if you have a hot water bottle on your lap, a hot chocolate and a book to read!

Love this Vivi, it's my favourite video of the year! Will your current High Street be the same next year when you are in your new flat?
"Treats for an inflation-adjusted tenner" has quite the ring about it
This is so interesting. Is it the law of diminishing returns? I think because you are strict and frugal you take so much joy in the treats. People who treat themselevs all the time require more to experience the same result. Something to think on. I think those were wonderful choices.
I think so too. A treat is only a treat if it's rare. 😊
Yes charles is on the notes x
i do remember the violet sweets
see Toms Midnight Garden was published in 1958 the year of my Birth🎉
Lovely video, when you mentioned skylark, had to look its song up on youtube. And then remebered, in english you categorise people as early birds and night owls. In my language its skylarks and owls😊💖💖💖
It's a beautiful song. ❤️
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

We scoffed many a Parma violet as kids.....Swizzels Matlow factory is in New Mills, Derbyshire....my home town.
We call 20 'a score'!!!!
Now I am craving baklava 🙂
Good fun as a tenner is not much. Would you ever up it? Surely you can afford chocolate and wine now a little esp after moving. I would rather put heating on and not be cold than save soo much. I know we are all different. You do well x
Options hot chocolate is not cheap 😂 5 pounds in some places
Wow, I really did get a bargain!
