I bought myself some Molton Brown perfume last week. So luxurious and lovely.

Things are a bit bleak. Have you ordered anything as a treat?

There is a very similar thread already asking the same question, thought I’d link it for your as I found it great for some ideas.

Some flavoured tea from Whittards

Sparklingbrook · 08/05/2020 15:56

Chippy tea. Grin Next week we are having an afternoon tea delivered.

I am about to look at the John Lewis sale online.

I've bought myself some watercolour paints and paper, a summer top and some dotting tools to do some painted rocks. Im still working full time so the paints are to relax with at the weekend

A new pair of Stan Smith trainers and a few new tops. I’ve been dressing like a bag lady for months due to ongoing weight loss and not wanting to buy new clothes Blush but I’m leaving my job to start a PhD and I need a whole new wardrobe for whenever the campus opens and I’m allowed to see people who aren’t DH Grin

MinorArcana · 08/05/2020 16:06

A new jigsaw puzzle.

Chocolatear · 08/05/2020 16:07

A garden flame thrower from Lidl's. Very excited to nuke the weeds.

Cecilia2016 · 08/05/2020 16:09

Yes new clothes for summer and really happy 😃

stanski · 08/05/2020 16:12

An IPL device

RJnomore1 · 08/05/2020 16:14

What’s this garden flame thrower???

I’ve just ordered a kg Of dolly mixtures from Amazon, spurred on by another thread

The surprise box from hotel chocolat - ended up with a lovely selection of stuff!

MinecraftMother · 08/05/2020 16:18

I got myself a pillar box red Bayswater and have my eye on the new green Iris...(am flexing my Mulberry shares discount!).

It's important to treat oneself, if possible.

ThatsWhatHeroesDo · 08/05/2020 16:19

Reduced priced (still extortionate!) Easter chocolate from Hotel Chocolat

Gooseysgirl · 08/05/2020 16:21

The Aldi garden sofa... I'm lying on it now in the sun 😎

MinorArcana · 08/05/2020 16:21

A garden flame thrower??

Isn’t that a bit dangerous?

WellTidy · 08/05/2020 16:26

A load of summer into autumn perennials for the garden. I am hoping for borders full of colour (albeit only the colours I like!).

chunkyrun · 08/05/2020 16:28

Some new trainers

Chocolatear · 08/05/2020 16:28

Hope this works,

Have you bought anything to treat yourself lately?
chunkyrun · 08/05/2020 16:28

Really wanted an afternoon tea delivery but trying to be less chunky so ordered them for two mates instead. Feeding other people can be my past time

pallasathena · 08/05/2020 16:29

A herb chopper...never had a herb chopper before. Grin

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 08/05/2020 16:33

Some nice teacups from house of disaster

ConstantlyCooking · 08/05/2020 16:38

John Lewis has a sale ? (Misses point and heads off to look)

MsLumley · 08/05/2020 16:51

A gorgeous new dress in the Hobbs sale. Obviously it's going to sit in the wardrobe gathering dust for the foreseeable future but it made me happy for 10 minutes when it arrived.
