I bought a small baguette and some sliced turkey. Does that count?
Personally, I think this 'Black Friday' nonsense is just an excuse to prey upon the gullible, much like the Boxing Day and New Year sales.
A smart buyer can find a bargain all year round and does not need a 'special occasion' to do so.

Bought a Kindle Paperwhite as I've been thinking of upgrading my original Kindle for a while. Was hoping that the Dr Martens BF sale would have some boots I wanted but doesn't look like.

Anita has bought me a kindle paperwhite for Christmas - she was ready to pay £120 for it, but got it for £90 instead. I already have a kindle that doesn't light up, so I know her thinking behind this upgrade, she's sick of having to punch me at 2am to "turn that piggin' lamp off".
We also got another Echo Dot for £20 - the display on the kitchen's DAB radio has gone, making it impossible to select a station. By plugging the Dot into it I can tell it to change stations for me.
I know Black Friday is a con, but it's ok if it's for something you were getting anyway.

I didn't know you could get self adhesive toilet roll - I bet it really lifts the cack! (and bumfluff too)Purchased a self adhesive toilet roll holder (didn't want to drill through the tiles) and save a whole pound.

You call replying to my posts 'functioning'?Wot are you doing awake at 2am, daftee - was it after a rampant sesh?

No, dunder-heid (my new favourite word), I fall asleep with the lamp on, and if the kindle landing on her head doesn't wake her, the lamp does by about 2am. Regardless of what time I get to sleep, I always wake around 6.30, even when I'm not working. Once I wake, my head's too busy to let me go back to sleep. Usually need a piss by then anyway.
