Hi,

I recently did a poll about how you treat yourself but found the options quite restrictive and would be nice to know how others treat themselves. :)

Think i must be boring as i think a treat for myself is my Now magazine and a shandy :rotfl:

I'm telling a lie, i actually feel buying make up and stuff a treat but others may see it as essentials...we are all so different aren't we. Would be nice to nosey in other people's treats.

    I definitely head to boots to treat myself. Love anything that smells nice and products for my hair. If I was going to treat myself tomorrow (which I'm not because I'm being good until payday) I would buy a lovely bottle of perfume.

    A new nail varnish and taking time out to paint my nails, a trip to the charity shops, a long bubble bath and face mask, laying in bed in the middle of the afternoon reading, watching back to back episodes of come dine with me...

    me too, I love boots, thankfully nearly all of my shopping is done second hand (charity shops, carboots, jumble sales, ebay etc) so I can have a good shop but not spend too much, but I need to move away from 'treating' myself in this way as regular as I do
