Monthly massages and I go out by myself for lunch when I can (pretty much monthly and often after the massage now but it used to be weekly before Covid). I never get time to myself at home anymore so I find it the easiest way to unwind.

Flowers, gym membership, art materials.

I have a shoe horn (and a spare!) … for some reason this always strikes me as a luxury as my parents didn’t have one, I’ve never seen one in anyone else’s house and it’s just for my personal convenience.

Brows done every 4 weeks, hair every 8 weeks.

  • Montezuma hippiccino chocolate bar (milk choc and coffee bits!)

Aesop hand wash
Prawns
Tony’s chocolate
Rapha cycling kit.
Frighteningly expensive walking boots and clothes.

I can’t work out why I baulk at spending more than £50 on a pair of shoes or jeans yet happily spunk £300 on a pair of mountaineering boots or £200 on cycling bib tights without flinching.

Linen (clothes and bedclothes)
BIG towels
French soap
Books
Plants
Flowers
