Little things you treat yourself too..

[PeridotCricket]

...sitting in bed drinking a very nice cup of tea made with twinings tea bags. Treating myself to a better class of tea.

Hot yoga, an exercise class and nails done twice a month are my luxuries...sadly any added together they are not cheap.

I have a cleaner who comes for 4 hours every day Monday to Friday. She does everything, laundry, dishes, makes beds...and shops when we run out of cleaning supplies. I live overseas so she is much more affordable than at home. Dh and I joke that we can't go home until the dcs are ready for uni.

I occasionally buy myself a bag of chocolates and leave them in the freezer where no one looks.

Zen tea from Starbucks.
Regular pedicures although dd2 often wants to join me so they aren't as relaxing as they used to be.

Weekly flowers here as well.

If I've got no plans on a Saturday, I'll buy a yummy pastry and the Saturday edition of The Telegraph - hate their politics but enjoy their supplements, esp. Graham Norton's agony column.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry - I just realised I used the word "yummy". I have never used that word before in my whole life.

Revoke my MN membership and/or shoot me now.

I get a Glossybox subscription every month.
When I do the Tesco shop online, I look at the offers on their Finest range. Eating l cranberry & pistachio cookies with my cuppa instead of custard creams felt like a treat!

An egg mayo sandwich from wilko every Wednesday.

I'm extremely bad at buying things for myself but am trying to get better. OH has always been useless at any kind of gift. He recently moaned at the cost of a lovely smelling vetiver candle I bought as part of a housewarming gift for someone else. (He hardly ever goes shopping or looks at anything except what he's shopping for that day, so is living in the past as to what things cost) I will now get one for myself 😬

Hinted strongly (to my then 18 yo DD) at a Nuxe set for about £20 for Mother's day which she ignored so that's on my list again for birthday or Christmas.

I like Reese's Buttercups every now and then. Or salted caramel fudge. Trips to the cinema. Fresh bedding as often as possible - though that involves me being bothered to do it.

DontcallmeCharlotte I'm sure you're forgiven 😂

A magazine related to one of my main interests, or a pot of really nice chocolate mousse.

DH buys flowers weekly so I don't have to!

Diptyque soap, preferably "34" it last ages.

Russian Caravan tea (smoky). Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick, pillow talk and walk of shame.
