Treating yourself...

[bumblebee39]

£80-£100 budget

Been a hard year (really hard) and finally might be getting the opportunity to treat myself. I'm pregnant, so can't drink obviously.

What would you do to treat yourself?

No Xmas presents coming my way this year, rest of money going on kids/bills/debts/savings/new baby/ nursery fees/ course fees/ Xmas and a (necessary) new phone and store cupboard essentials etc.

New scarf +handbag - maybe a hat??

I'm pregnant aswell was really wanting to buy my self a new winter coat but couldn't justify until baby born in Jan. I seen a really nice bag I wanted to use as a change as I will have 2 under 2 so treated myself to it. As been lucky and not needed to buy for baby as I have everything already..

Mummy to be spa day

Always Cashmere and nice shower or bath stuff for me. I just went to TK maxx and got 3 Cashmere sweaters/scarf/throw Ralph Lauren etc for 100 pounds in their clearance rail. RRP is over 500 so I’m pretty pleased and you can’t beat a cashmere throw if you are pregnant.

a decent pedicure because you wont reach feet for a while and a breastfeeding pillow, great for supporting bump while you sleep.

Also second a huge winter coat.

Estee lauder advanced night repair serum and a good day cream, really quick and easy way to feel like you are still taking care of yourself even when you are busy with the little one.

Got night and day cream and a big winter coat... Although I could do with a dressing gown...

Pedicure is a nice idea. I'm ending the first trimester so can still reach fine but will think about it as a "pay ahead" present (ie. Put the money in an envelope and open it once I can no longer touch my toes)

Wish I could do a spa day but not sure I could relax or find anyone to watch DCs for a whole day...

Would love a sauna steam and Jucuzzi but know I'm not allowed...

Beauty advent calendar kind of trumping it right now as its a whole month of presents and I love Xmas...

Also something no one will buy me and had one twice before and loves it.
Felt like a real daily treat...

Also going to get a dressing gown and some pjs and put some money in an envelope to be opened for a pedicure at a later date when I can no longer reach my toes.

If there's any money left over I'll replace my watch strap...

I'd put it by, literally in a separate purse or jar or money box, and then treat myself to a little luxury every week, for months...... a coffee out, a bar of nice ,chocolate, maybe a trip to the pictures.

A kindle!

Already got a tablet... Would love an iPad again but too pricy...
