Treating yourself

Chocolate or something craft related.

Really nice skin care stuff.

Books, L'Occitane soap and Clarins hand cream.

At this season it's Stollen bites from Lidl or M&S.

Open a bottle of wine and watch a movie from my collection of recordings.

Anything crafty. Just got a huge parcel from China of 5d crystal painting kits will last me for months. Anything for the craft room makes me very happy

Buy very little stuff. A real treat for me is a massage by someone with real talent, or a special evening of relaxation by the fire, with a friend and Tibetan bowls and other instruments.

Books or new boots. Can’t resist either . Food was/is never a treat.... and is only fuel for the body. I eat less and less these days. Nope... gotta be books or boots!

Chocolate biscuits or chocolate liqueurs yum

I pay for a good film to rent on Amazon Prime for Friday evening viewing. Often there are some very recent films on offer for £2.50.

Chocolate. I don’t treat myself very often though. Once upon a time, in pre Covid times, I used to indulge in a latte and a home made cake in a nice, quiet coffee shop. Can’t quite seem to be able to pluck up the courage to do that any more these days.

A single fruit scone from local M&S foodhall. Sold as singles and that’s perfect for me. If I bought a pack of 4 I would feel obliged to do the decent thing and eat them all and avoid food wastage.

Fabric and patterns - not a treat a necessity - honest. I know I have a stash, but .....

Anything garden related. New greenhouse gadget, plants, seeds, pots........

A cream cake and a visit to the hairdressers, new handbag or shoes.
Only managed the first one over the past 6 months !

Quilting fabric or knitting wool.

Just discovered wax melts. Least everyone in the house benefits from my new obsession.?

Chocolates, a box of cream cakes from M&S and a bottle of good wine as opposed to my usual plonk, not all to be consumed at the same time, of course!

A new diffuser cheers me up no end and a bag of chocolate gingers from Thornton’s ?

Make sure every one is cared for .Then sit in my little garden , weather permitting. Then have a bath with lavender and geranium oils

Oh Lupin I forgot to stock up on Stolen bites ?

As I am severely limiting my carbs, I have one treat per week - a triple-choc-chip from Waitrose. If I bought a whole packet, I might be tempted to eat the lot, but these are sold separately.

Triple-choc-chop cookie, that is.
