I don't usually spend money on me alone, I usually spend it on the house the kids savings ect , but I have £50 to treat myself and I have no idea what to do with it , if you had £59 for a treat what would you get ?

Nice PJs and a luxury bath oil or maybe go and choose a new perfume.

MegBusset · 30/03/2019 19:51

Couple of second hand books, bottle of wine, takeaway curry :)

Laura Mercier honey bath - will last for ages as you add a scoop using the wooden honey dipper that comes with the jar and it feels like a slice of genuine luxury every time you use it. I especially like the Fresh Fig and also the Creme Brûlée

A spa treatment maybe? There’s a few good ones near me which includes use of the jacuzzi, spa facilities for 2 hours etc and a treatment. It’s around the £50 mark.

New clothes or pair of shoes?

Afternoon tea?

IncrediblySadToo · 30/03/2019 19:56

£50 to just treat myself - hmmm....

Is there anywhere you can go where they knock you out so you get a good nights sleep?!

...probably not.

Ummm...

...sorry, I’m NO help

You are lovely putting everything before yourself. Think of something that really make you smile, be it perfume, gin, a shrub for the garden (if you have one), a top that is cut well to suit your figure, a book or some fabulous underwear. Whatever it is, enjoy it! 🥂

Hush harem trousers, there's 10% off at the minute...I got my first pair this week and I bloody love them. Smile

A sun lounger for the garden.

FlopsyMopsyRabbit · 30/03/2019 20:01

Some new pyjamas and slippers and something nice for the bath

Or some face creams and fancy hair products

QuestionableMouse · 30/03/2019 20:02

I'd book myself a night in a Premier Inn and enjoy the time alone. Chocolates/wine/snacks optional 😂

PH03b3 · 30/03/2019 20:03

£50 for me- download whatever book i want to my kindle, head to Starbucks cafe nero or costa whichever has the best seating and sit and read my book with my headphones in so people don't talk to me thinking im on my own (it happens round here!!) coffee an overpriced cake the remaining £35 ish i would buy myself some fancy bath stuff and a new pair of pjs and go home and listen to some nice music whilst i relax.
Or a new vibrator... The gift that keeps on giving ;-)

PH03b3 · 30/03/2019 20:04

Eyebrow threading session

Anything that will rid me of this bloody rib pain (third trimester)

Keeoe · 30/03/2019 21:19

I would buy a nice bottle of shower gel and a body lotion. For £50 you could get something lovely for a little pamper every day Smile

Hungrymamabear · 30/03/2019 21:27

One if the following -
Handbag. Shoes. Take away and munchies. Hair appointment. Nails and brows appointment. Nice smellies set probably REN or Rituals.

Littlepond · 30/03/2019 21:31

Shoes.

MondeoFan · 30/03/2019 21:36

Bottle of Jack Daniels and some new Knickers. Sorted.

Princessmama18 · 30/03/2019 21:48

I currently am in need of getting my hair, nails and eyebrows done, so I would put it towards that!
Buy yourself something that will make you smile Smile
I actually need a new pair of sun glasses and a new hair dryer as well Grin
