Why would I want to see this?!

Do you add this comment to all threads you are not interested in?

* Botox is only once every 3-4 months, I started by getting just 3 areas and if you find a good high street injector like Therapie then you're looking at £300ish maybe for the lot. On a monthly basis, that's not crazy.

It really is!

£1300 on beauty? In a month? Blimey. That's obscene.

I’m glad it’s not just me. Even if I brought new shampoo, conditioner, shower gel etc etc all in one go it would be nowhere near that. I only have my hair cut every couple of years.

I think some women have botox, lip injections and other tweakments.

She's much richer than us

BeShyPlumLeader · 14/02/2025 20:53

PLEASE tell me what you do for a living so I can immediately train to do it

Platypuslover · 14/02/2025 21:37

This is fake or op is not telling truth working finance does not mean a high wage unless you are part of the higher echelons of corporate. So she is lying about her job and/or spend and income.

Toptops · 14/02/2025 21:40

No idea what to make from your post

Ladymeade · 14/02/2025 21:40

Are you taking the piss?

PetuniaT · 14/02/2025 21:41

...and your point is? What are you trying to say?

Deeperthantheocean · 14/02/2025 22:10

Absolutely not in any way a good way to live, and I'm so sorry you are able to spend so little on yourself.

My advice... I can recommend a butler, housemaid and personal chef to help with your hardship.

Please contact me on 'IONISP' on Google, only the most luxurious and vetted services.

oldmoaner · 14/02/2025 22:37

Don't see the point of your post OP. Don't know where you live but over £400/week on beauty treatment, and £181 + £242 for coffee and lunches, husband pays for 'big shop' but you still have to spend £337 on top ups during the week, all that and you RENT 😯 think you need to give your head a wobble and plan for the future and your kids future. Hope for your sake your never out of work.

Olderbutt · 14/02/2025 22:59

£1300 on beauty treatment!!!! I don't spend that much in a year. Did you have your entire body waxed and botoxed?

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 14/02/2025 23:05

A miscellaneous £545 a month not knowing where it went... How the other half lives and then some...!

If only we all had this problem... assuming this is really a genuine post, of course 😳😅

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 14/02/2025 23:07

Just saw a banner pop up on this thread while I was scrolling through the replies, saying this... (the irony!)

No one asked!

NoPollyEsther · 15/02/2025 02:03

Sorry but it seems to me, that you're boasting about how you can afford all these items. Could all be fabricated by you, for all we know ...
