Treating yourself

anything that involves food

Or a day course, I just love learning.

Different things each month
Plants
Costume jewellery
Nail polish
Cloths
Cushions
Flowers
Fish chips
Curry
Coca Cola
Haribos
List is endless

Flowers, preferably red roses and a massage.

May7 I almost drooled on my phone screen picturing your homemade apple crumble ?

Scallops, Eton mess, bottle of Camel Valley fizz, A night out to Sterts, our local theatre in a tent.

My favourite perfune, 'After the rain'.

The Macallan.

Craft stuff, paper glue and shiny things

Chocolate and wool. I always said that after I retired, I'd have to live a long time to use my stash. It's not finished, and, unfortunately, I can't resist buying more. Starting a new project gives such a lot of pleasure.

I buy and arrange flowers! A bar of whole nut chocolate. A drive in the car!

These things also cheer me up when I feel down.

Toiletries, a pedicure and eating out. I did my own pedicure recently and it's not very good - there's a reason you have to pay for these things!

Usually clothes, chocolate or takeaway pizza. X

Wool, wool, wool.

A good book always a treat, I like nice soap, during the lockdown I placed several orders of Savon de Marseille, they do lovely little bars, a sneaky bar of chocolate very occasionally, perfume again occasional, Diffusers from company's such as Neom or Jo Malone.

I often trawl through internet looking for treats and that time is often treat enough . There are some fab little independent shops out there selling lovely things . Not on the High Street is a treasure trove for browsing. I love throws and cushions and LED candles- with timers - and fairy lights. I still buy clothes which I swore I wouldnt do once I retired, but its never expensive stuff - I like the “ look” not the label. And I frequently sell my current stuff on ebay or donate to favourite charity shop. Failing that I love my kindle especially being able to read a sample before committing to buying. One treat I cant have at the moment is a trip to London for a gig or theatre or just lunch with my youngest son who lives there. Hopefully those days will return.

I never treat myself but I’ve had an unexpected bonus in my wages this month so I’m getting a 50 ins smart tv for the living room.
My eyes are so bad now that I can’t see any text on my 42 ins one so I’m hoping I’ll actually be able to read the text and subtitles on a 55 ins.
I’ve no tv in my bedroom at the moment so the 42 ins is going there. So it’s a DOUBLE treat!

Ice cream.

Better still, a day out in Largs, which is famous for Nardini's ice cream emporium.

Even better, a weekend in Cornwall. I wake at night sometimes, salivating at the memory of the -huge- clotted-cream ice cream I enjoyed from the shop in Crackington Haven a quarter of a century ago.

Best of all, a week in Bologna. Those guys really know about frozen dairy products and bolognese gelato can't be beat.

Weightwatching? Moi?

Plants, chocolate, books and clothes. Not necessarily in that order?

Opium body lotion and shower gel makes me feel devine and I deserve it.

mine is getting my hair coloured and blow dried once every 2 months and a monthly massage which helps my joints
