Go on ... treat yourself ...!

BBbevan

That was the thinking Anno, wandering about in the sunshine was the perfect antidote to a wet and windy February! I'm with your gd's, BBbevan - I'd be put out too!

hummingbird . This is a good time of year to take a break and preferably somewhere exotic and warm. You had exactly the right idea.

SeeingHummingbird's post made me smile as it reminded me of an incident that happened last year My son and his wife went to Marrakesh to celebrate her 40th.birthday. Our granddaughters stayed with us. When they came back they asked their girls if they would like to see their photos. "No thank you" said my eldest granddaughter, then 8yrs old. " we were not invited so we don' t want to see them" A real put down.

Just back from four days in Marrakech with my friend! We both have birthdays around now, and booked it quite impulsively on a shopping trip. We had an amazing few days, including a vigorous hammam and massage - I've never been so clean! I'm back home relaxed and happy

I know that there was a day within the last couple of weeks when I bought something and thought "that's a naughty – but nice – self-indulgence" and I am absolutely sure it was, but I can't remember what it actually was. It will almost certainly be something that I shall use over and over again rather than a passing pleasure as I haven't been out for dinner recently and I very rarely eat sweet things. No doubt, when I come to use whatever it is, it will bring a smile to my face all over again.

Sorry you missed out watermeadow. I saw not one, but two dolls houses in charity shops yesterday ... another one will come along.

Oh, what a shame!

Water meadow

The doll's house had been sold when I got there at 9am on Friday. I know you all wanted to know that!

I love that poemgreybuster the line is a catch phrase for Dd1and me if either has treated themselves to a small treat-in her case one she probably cant really afford

Thanks Maggieanne

I've only just come across this thread, so, Happy Belated Birthday Wishes Imp, hope you had a good day. Willsmadnan, you need a treat and what better than perfume, it really lifts the spirits. Watermeadow, go for it, you will only regret it, you can add to it every so often and that will be another treat. I can't believe how many of us have had to scrimp and save, try asking the youngsters today to do that! A treat doesn't have to cost the earth, just to be able to enjoy it is the best bit.

Oooh - happy birthday to you too ediepop I hope you had a lovely day.
I did - there were treats aplenty and my aching heads this morning is still reminding me

Late in the day, but sending birthday greetings to imperfect and ediepop.

I treat myself now and again to a beauty box from latest in beauty they are filled with samples of luxury products and the excitement of not knowing what I might receive makes receiving them in the post even better.

or Clarins Eau des Jardins ...

A bottle of Clarin's Eau Dynamisante - sheer luxury!

Happy birthday to all having birthdays today ??had lunch out yesterday with friend who recently lost husband treat today was a pizza made of play dough which my grandaughter made me
Forgot to say bought myself two tops as well ??

GranJan60 - if you're looking after the house and your DH, that's working! Don't feel guilty - appreciate your own worth. ?

kitty its worth a fortune that cup of coffee

Since being made redundant and not finding another job, I now have to rely on DH so I feel extremely guilty about buying anything non-essential for myself. Really miss being independent. I know our joint account is half mine but as he's still working and I'm not it feels wrong.

dirgni Have a great time
I am so envious - business class!!

Happy birthday Imperfect and

Happy birthday Imperfect.

This afternoon I am going to treat myself to lying on the sofa watching c**p on TV - it doesn't happen often but I love it when it does.

glass, I do a similar thing. On the way back from visiting mum I often buy a flake and eat it in the car while playing a word game on my phone. Daft really but it's my time!

Happy birthday imperfect
