I tend to treat myself to the odd computer game every couple of months. I very rarely spend over a tenner on them though as you seem to be able to pick even the newish ones up from the pre-owned section very quickly.
Sometimes I will treat myself to a bottle of wine on a Friday if I've had a really bad week, Pringles used to be my downfall but I've been really good and haven't bought any in ages. Real coffee too but the jug has just broken on my coffee machine and I don't have enough money to buy another one at the momentOrganised people are just too lazy to look for things

I used to love Lush shower gels - but they have "improved " them so there are only 2 shower gels now - none my favourite.
DD spent her money on me for my birthday buying their new shower jelly!
Smells great but is impossible to use in the shower!!!!
I finally chopped it in small pieces and diluted it with water so it could be used.

I can scrimp and save on skincare i have found, but i have tried, and failed in the makeup department. I bought two lipsticks from the Chanel counter the weekend and they cost me £28.:oI wont tell you what i spent on foundation.:o:o
I justify it though as i only buy it when i need to replace something and i dont drink or smoke so its my only luxury.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
