    Flowers, candle, bath oil, body lotion, pretty briefs, pop into Peacocks or Primark if you have one amazing what a fiver will get you there. A book if you like to read or a couple if you shop in the charities.
    Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should get used to it.;)

    If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.

    I vote for the nice pants, some chocolate and a book. Wear the pants and take the chocolate and the book into the garden (or park if you don't have a garden). Bliss!
    What did I do at work before I discovered MSE?!

    Wine, choc and a magazine, should just about stretch to this.

    Or a nail varnish or hair dye.

    Or a book.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!
