I resisted any urge to buy last-minute things in the lead up to the new year. The first major item I can't get, then, is an Airport Express. I had a plan to put one in my bedroom, and play music from it, controlled by my iPhone. Under the current system, I have to burn an MP3 CD of any playlist I want in the bedroom. The CD player makes a little noise when the CD spins which I have always found annoying. How dreadful!
On the other hand I have been a pretty good non-consumer this Christmas. Apart from an Amazon gift voucher for my sister overseas, and a knockoff Britney Spears T-Shirt for a Kris Kringle, I didn't buy (or receive) any presents at all. Definitely a new record and I enjoyed a stress-free holiday.
There is someone I wish to buy a small gift for as a thank-you present. I'm pretty sure this is allowed, as I won't be accruing any possessions.
So far, if we hadn't made the compact I would've purchased a sleep mask and a teapot.
