I'll start the ball rolling.. Legs, underarms & bikini line got lasered so I'd never have to bother with that hassle again. Got my unsightly moles removed (also by laser) & had a new tummy button at the same clinic. (old one was saggy after kids). Also 'invested' in half a dozen Stuart Weitzman's Grin Together with a new 4 poster bed & a fuckton of therapy!

What did you invest in?

Not me, but I know a lady who celebrated my getting the tattoo she had always wanted (she's had more since) after she left her shit of an ex h.
He didn't like tattoos because apparently they're 'cheap looking' on women. He also passed comments about her general appearance and weight.

Since she left him, she's let her hair grow and overhauled her wardrobe. She wears nice fitted clothes and make up and looks years younger.

She's happy now. He's still a complete dick. Always will be.

Two weeks in Mexico with my best girlfriend of 10 years- booked as soon as I found out about his affair and by the time we went 6 months later I was a stone lighter and a fuck tonne happier! Had an absolute blast Grin

After ex insisting that walls in every room should be white, I painted my kitchen wall kingfisher turquoise. Smile

I bought a shit tonne of underwear from Ann Summers - fancy but not rude. Led to some interesting questions when I had to submit my bank statements as part of financial proceedings...
