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?

Purple hair dye!

BlueGheko · 08/05/2020 16:54

I buy myself a bunch of flowers every week. Obsessed with tulips at the moment. 💐

I am very excited for hair Clippers arriving soon!

Do I trust DW with them though?

We got an afternoon tea delivered on Monday, it was only ok, tempted by a different company for next week. Opened the bottle of prosecco today that we got with our first veg box order. Pretty much all my treats are food based, very much against my current plan that is to loose some weight!

A friend is offering huge trays of iced sponge and big sticky toffee puddings two for £10. I'll be ordering one of each.

I have ordered some clothes. I got very excited this week when I ordered some vintage french linen tea towels. My planned holiday to France has been scuppered so I thought that was the best next thing. I’m about to order a gizmo that you put herbs in and it lights them and feeds them and you can grow herbs in your windowsill year round. I’m so rock n roll!

SpratsOnParade · 08/05/2020 17:16

And about a dozen Kindle books.

A Lowry work-stand, in fuchsia, to hold my cross stitch projects, and have also picked up a few discontinued/hard to get kits. And some nice tonics so I can enjoy a gin while I sew!

A different take away from a local restaurant every week - supports local business and gives us a welcome treat! Win-Win!

A whole Godminster Cheddar from their website

Best cheese ever

You eat it and think: can this be do good?! Then you have to try a bit more

Was tempted by hotel chocolate Easter sale, but thought cheese a better option Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 08/05/2020 17:26

Oh god loads. Dh is shielding so your supposed to sleep separately if you can etc so new bed, mattress, lamp, bedding, bedside cabinet.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 08/05/2020 17:33

Yes, I know I am a total geek.

Ooh, John Lewis sale? 😍

Yes I have!

Nancarrow Farm gift box. Was delivered this morning. Full of all sorts of goodies from organic beef and asparagus, to fresh flower bouquet, herbs, homebaked bread, soap, handmade dish, special design cotton shopper and t towel.

Saw it in the week and treated myself! The credit card is less than half of a normal month so a one off treat is deserved, I think.

Nearlyadoctor · 08/05/2020 18:19

@Bluewavescrashing - which one did you buy? Just treated myself to the new White Musk one

Moonshinemisses · 08/05/2020 18:25

I went to Tesco today & got myself a whole new summer wardrobe everything even undies. I've done a tonne of overtime the last few weeks & i deserve it.

runflorestrun · 08/05/2020 18:25

A Nescafé Dolce Gusto (egged on by DD's proclamation of "just imagine the hot chocolate mum")

'Matching' (as close as possible) Nike trainers for myself, DD and DS.... again one of DD's ideas

And a reusable tampon applicator 🤣

Ghostlyglow · 08/05/2020 19:24

I've got all my refunds in from gigs, trains, hotels and have treated myself to a Lilienthal watch. Waiting for it to arrive from Berlin. Smile. I've been browsing acrylic jewellery on Etsy this afternoon and might buy a couple of necklaces. I've also bought quite a lot of beer online from Camden Brewery and Brewdog Grin

Methtones · 08/05/2020 19:27

I got a lovely haul of skincare from facetheory with 30% off. Normally I like cheap superdrug stuff!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 08/05/2020 19:27

Too much.
Perfume.
Underwear.
Ds clothes.
Skincare.
Make up.

ConnieDoodle · 08/05/2020 19:29

Im really tempted to buy myself a pretty Glass trinket box. A leg has fallen off mine.

This thread is justifying that purchase for me nicely. Now to look for one...

Prior to this, ive treated myself to a mask Grin

Bluewavescrashing · 08/05/2020 20:50

@Nearlyadoctor heavenly gingerlily. Gorgeous!

A weighted lavender eye pillow for yoga, and a book about running. Possibly a bit niche!

picklemewalnuts · 08/05/2020 20:58

This was my other treat- and a voucher code www.hellofresh.co.uk/?c=HS-SKL6SM01V
