What are you doing to treat yourself at the moment?

I am feeling that I deserve a 'treat' of some sort. I've been having a bit of a crap time. Won't bore with the deatails but it's health things. So I can't have 'unhealthy' food or a bottle of riocha. Also have a birthday soon. So what small (or big) things would you treat yourself with at the moment?

Nice stuff for bath
Hair dye! Makes me feel like a new woman
Candles
New bedsheets
Projector so I can lie in bed and watch movies
Pyjamas

I really want to buy myself a ring. No real reason, but I don't wear jewellery and really want to treat myself to a nice silver ring.

@GinIsNotOriginal thanks for the Neal's Yard tip, those bath oils look great!! Was looking for more bath stuff online last night these might be just what I need.

A bubble bath with a good book and an early night.

Pyjamas.
I spent my Christmas present (Amazon voucher) from work on a Contigo mug.
Fresh flowers.

@peaceanddove the bag sounds beautiful.

I purchased a little treat today...got myself a faux fur coat on eBay. 🤞 that it’s perfect, and fits! Not that I can go anywhere to wear it at the moment...but when we’re finally able to go out and celebrate birthdays and our 1st anniversary, I’ll hopefully have something fabulous to wear!😊

Great thread OP.

I was joking about this earlier. I've been redundant for 6 months, horribly stressed, watching my savings drain away. I haven't spent a penny that wasn't absolutely unavoidable since Sept 1st.

This morning I found I have been offered not one but TWO jobs. The relief is so huge I could cry.

I was in Tesco buying school shirts for DS for next week so I treated myself to....... a newspaper so I can do the puzzles. Grin Grin Grin And a £3 t-shirt for DS. And it felt great!

Oodies.

(And a couple of Kudd.lys, too - same thing.)

Seriously, life-changing and with no deleterious health effects. :-)
