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?

Floris scented candles
New towels
Cat bowls

Gemstones for my jewellery making expecially opals, I've told all my dc that dd3 get everything when I pop my clogs. She's the only one who knows what they cost.
and
Butter.

Cards, books, magazines and bath stuff.

Books - every time I hear about a good one I'm straight to Amazon

Deliveroo and Uber Eats

Boots to protect my horse's legs, he has four legs and can wear a maximum of 6 boots at any one time. I have just bought another set. Have around 10 sets.
In fact horses in general. He has the best, I walk round in rags 🤔. He's worth it though 😃

@Youmadorwhat my goodness is your bathroom for real or from an advert for the perfect bathroom?

Plants. I buy a lot of plants and leave them in my car until dh isn’t looking. Sometimes most of the time I get home and wonder where the fuck I’m going to plant them!

Cheap disposable clothing

Flying biz and regular blow dries

Flowers. I'd give Elton a run for his money.
Beauty products. I seem to be preferring more and more expensive stuff as I get older and I don't need any of it.
Chocolate. Those fancy dark bars.
Nail polish. I have two favourites that I wear. One in the darker months and one in Summer. And yet I can't resist another bottle.

None of its secret though and I don't feel bad. The only things that sometimes make me feel slightly guilty are some of the beauty products. But it doesn't last long. Also I know chocolate makes some symptoms of my illness flare up so I should avoid but some days you just think fuck it.

Nova lashes. Compete waste of money but I love them.

Oh and notebooks. I have a drawer for them ffs. There's no need.

Tickets to punk gigs
Band T-shirts

I’m too old for it.

Mine is definitely kids clothes too, at least the expensive ones I like are ethical. Way more than they need and all for my pleasure.

Seeds and plants.

@Snog all real, it’s a happy place for me! 🤣

Coffee. The more it costs the better.

I run the tumble dryer for pretty much every thing that is able to go in it. I have cut down a lot since I became more aware of the environmental impact, but I still use it too much, especially as we have three clothes horses and a laundry room to dry them in, out of the way

Candles

Make up, especially primers and lipsticks

Skincare especially the £10 pixi bottles of toner type stuff (see, I don’t even know what the products are)

Bath and body products especially body moisturiser, I have enough for about three years of whole body three times a week application

Pyjamas

Perfume

A stash of chocolate

Clothes that fit my ever expanding frame, rather than just losing a stone and a half so that my previous clothes actually fit again

None of these are secret though

Scented candles
Perfume
Clothes
Plants
Seeds
Books

Plants for the garden too. In a very big way. Twelve salvia, five cranesbill geraniums and a hydrangea already this week.

Foooooood

Takeaways, eating out, posh hotel rooms. Huge amounts of things for my class.

Iced coffee. I have an addiction to iced americanos and my office won't buy me an ice machine despite my repeated asking.

Amazing chutney that’s £4/jar. I always think I only have it at Christmas, but in reality I always have some on the go.
