Champagne Lifestyle on a Lemonade Budget.

Wednesday2000

My champagne moment today will be having a hair treatment and a long shower and using my new body souffle lotion afterwards.

I'm just listening to music on YouTube, Beyonce - Halo.

Wednesday I think scruffy old men say what they think so I am sure that was a genuine compliment so go you.

Haha.:)

Talking about using fabric instead of paper. I had some fabric that I cut in squares to use instead of paper hankies. The other day I was out with my son and blew my nose in one such cloth. My son looked amused and said: "is that the pillowcase you blowing your nose in?" I'd forgotten, it was his childhood pillowcase, indeed! We had a good laugh!

LL I'm sorry to hear your sad news - and yes you are absolutely right, the time is NOW. We should all remember that - wear the clothes, use the crockery, live a little.

My small champagne moment today was a lovely bath tonight using a bath bomb from my secret santa gift. I still have a face pack, foot pack, scented candle and truffles left!

Happy Christmas everyone - take it easy and look after yourselves.

My champagne moment was going to the supermarket this morning and finding plenty of spaces in the car park and no long queues at the tills.

:rotfl::rotfl: Luxury.

My champagne moment was, despite planning to go shopping today, after looking in the cupboards, fridge and freezer deciding .......yaaaaay I don't NEED anything. Don't have to go anywhere or do anything in particular.

As my Late husband used to say "Nothing is spoiling".

Just had a lovely hot bath with magnesium salts, feel looser and more supple. My knee is a bit bruised from a particularly "invigorating:rotfl:" acupuncture session so applied some arnica.

Going to do some tidying up, and then a nice leisurely couple of days before the onslaught of family at Christmas.

It will be fun they said:rotfl:

Actually I adore Christmas, love the razzamatazz, the corny TV, the fun and frolics, drawing my friends and family near, just chilling and spending time with the people I love the most.

However, Already my thoughts are turning to 2019, scheming and plotting, making plans, dreaming dreams.

I'm going to do my level best to make it a great year.

In the words of the Gordon's Gin Advert.....

"Let's Get This Party Started".

Merry Christmas to all, hopefully a few champagne moments over the period. Actually, prefer Prosecco!

We might use the one bottle of posh champagne left from our 50th do least year. OH doesn't like it - a beer or good whisky/whiskey man.

Bought a bottle of Tesco's own coffee liqueur yesterday to try to emulate Prezzo's cocktail which I had yesterday. Fab-u-lous!

I'm having a cuppa, my tipple of choice, and enjoying a quiet moment as children/grandchildren have all gone out for some fresh air. I love them all but a few minutes of silence before I start clearing up the breakfast mayhem is very, very welcome and better than champagne, for me anyway.

Thank you for this thread. I have just read it all the way through and have subscribed to it.
I love the idea of champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget. I'm always trying to make the best use of the resources that I have and make things stretch without too much of a compromise. Its nice to be able to have the little treats now and then.
I'll be following with interest.
Happy Christmas one and all

I know I'm a bit late but I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and / or Happy Holidays!

I'm currently doing the minimalist game. It goes on for 30 days and your goal is to declutter. On day 1 your declutter 1 item. On day 2 your declutter 2 and so on. So far it's going great Although I can already see myself struggling on day 30 haha

Oh, I like the idea of that game! I wonder if I can get OH to play! :cool:

Maybe if I suggest 12days and starting after Epiphany.
