I'm 46 very sooon

Options
Hi, I'm 46 in April, work two night jobs, am extremely knackered, and am fed up!!! Am trying to get ahead of my bills (which honestly aren't crazy). am caught up on my mortgage, trips away are out (I have two completely funded, just can't get caught up on time off to schedule it properly) my husband works abroad on fortnight stints and will prob be away for the day (which I'm really not bothered about, this is my birthday month, he will make a fuss of me sometime this month), I just want to fund this birthday for me! Not having a party, or a dinner, was thinking of a tattoo, something for me, is there anything you can think of???? (has to be within the €60 mark)????

    I have a big family, and tbh, if nobody bought me any perfume for the next five years, I'd still prob have enough! the only jewellery I've seen that I quite fancy is waaay above the budget I've set myself, just fancy something different this year, but don't have much of a clue! What are you planning/hoping for yours?

    What about a day of your favourite activities and foods? Now for me that'd probably include treating myself to a magazine or two, having a nice long soak in the bath with posh chocolates and a glass of wine or a gin and tonic, using a face mask, hair mask and all that jazz and then either meeting a friend for cocktails or spending the night in by myself with some cheesy rom-com the OH would hate and pampering myself a bit more.
    Hope you enjoy your day :)
