What is your secret that you waste money on?

[itisalladream]

We must all have one thing that we secretly treat ourselves too... or waste money on.... for many women it seems to be shoes or a nice handbag etc.
Me? I waste my money on flight upgrades

What about you?

Notebooks every time I go to a shop I have to buy a new notebook!

VIP front row and meet and greet at gigs

Good coffee shop coffee

Having pink highlights. Have to have blonde and then pink on top. Pricy and time consuming, but makes me feel like a unicorn.

I have a plant addiction. I leave them by our side gate then sneak them in when OH is otherwise occupied.

Ah ok, I'm not much of a rule follower :)
Maybe I'll stay a lone covet wolf for now

Perfume. My 4160 collection is impressive.

Chocolate ( £1.50 per bar)

Posh soap( about £5 per bar)

Real butter (£3 or similar)

billy I used to buy that magazine a lot

Books for my iPad, clothes ‘for work’, I don’t class face creams etc as luxuries as I turn into a spotty freak without. I get a massage once a month, it’s my time to be pampered

queenoftheashes oh dear! That's an expensive habit lol

@itisalladream 😮 you paid £400 for a flight upgrade!! £400 would allow me to renew all our passports or buy two months groceries and school uniforms for September.

Clothes for the dc. Nothing flash( think H&M, primark etc) but it quickly adds up.

Books! I spend more time trying to work out where to put more shelves than I do hooverung

@Youmadorwhat that's a nice bath I am envious. I do not have a bath (just a shower) so it's been over 3 years since I sat in a warm bath.

Horses wear boots?

Also bottled water .tap tastes
Awful the kids have tap though, they like it

Sometimes I send myself gorgeous gift baskets. Could buy all the items for half the price but they are so pretty.

Another vote for horses - I sneak their new belongings into the house... however, since I got them I have stopped buying myself clothes and am turning into a mad countrywoman

I like buying house things.

@BearSoFair

My husband is like this, he isn't interested in how they look, he says he just loves the feeling of new socks, he has 2 massive boxes full of socks and he too will not throw them away. Last Christmas he was so excited as he worked out he got brought loads of pairs that meant he could wear a new pair from Christmas up to March. I am tempted one year to buy him a years supply but I know he won't throw any of the others away.

And to answer OP post, I don't actually waste anything on me, I feel guilty buying new clothes (I only every buy new ones if I actually need them) and even if I get given money for birthday I still feel guilty spending it myself.... but for my kids, I'm forever buying them new clothes even tho their wardrobes are full....

@spellingtest I use mine e every day too. Have a hideous amount though and didn't stop me placing a massive sale order this week 😱

sage46 i used to do that until i had 2 bookcases in every room and 3 towers of books beside my bed, one night they collapsed onto me and i knew then that they had to go (sad) but i sold the lot at a car boot and raised over £300 and guess what i bought ..... A kindle but i still buy real books !

Travel upgrades, skincare.
Eyeliner - I must have bought about 30 this year - all expensive ones, current fave the sisley waterproof.

😮 you paid £400 for a flight upgrade!!

That's cheap to upgrade to business class. Most people who fly business pay a shitload more than £400 over the cost of economy.
