    I'd buy myself some clothes. I wear the same old tat year in year out no matter what time of year it is. No money for new stuff, sadly.

    Usually quiet time for me is my reward. It doesn't happen often at home but love a nice relaxing soak in the bath, lying down just relaxing with some nice music and candles etc.

    If I treat myself with things like clothes (doesn't usually happen as I just buy what I need) it's usually from ebay where you can get things cheaper or a charity shop etc.

    Freebies board sometimes has things like beauty stuff, face masks etc which I usually send away for for one of my me nights.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    My reward is a trip to France, I try to cut down on what I spend on food etc, (grocery challenge), I also have an ebay account, once I have paid the fees, I switch surplus cash into my holiday account.....we manage at least 2 trips a year, a holiday and maybe a day trip or two depending on travel lodges and channel crossings............

    I have been looking at next years brochure, if we book before the end of September we can save £150 off next years holiday and I just have to pay the deposit, the balance paid 8 weeks before we go.....gives me time to save up the balance...........our treat for 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
