Payday treat

Just ordered a very overpriced coffee machine and thought I’d share it with everyone. I’m very excited to use it when it arrives. This is now how pathetic my existence has become😂what are your payday treats?

Wow sounds fab! Enjoy..

30 odd years ago I worked in a supermarket and got paid cash, I was saving up to travel. I’ve never felt richer and did loads of overtime. Every payday I’d take my wage packet to the building society to pay it in my savings account and then buy an iced bun from the bakery next door. It was such a treat.

I stocked up on some new bits of nice skin care and I'll take my daughter for a babyccino and a cake together this morning.

I've recently cut my hours to 4 days pw because the tax burden made it not worth working another day when I could spend it with my smaller one and it's absolutely marvellous.

Your coffee machine sounds great! I've just treated myself to a Kobo ereader. I have a Kindle, but am trying to wean myself off Amazon!

I get my nails (hands & feet) and eyebrows done every pay day. Even better when pay day falls on a Friday as I don’t work Fridays!

I have waist length hair! Next week I am having it all cut off into a pixie with undercut and donating sting my hair to the princess trust! So, I have just treated myself to a pair of cloud nine ‘slim’ irons to replace my cloud nine ‘wide’ irons that I won’t need anymore!

Love mine! Took a while to appreciate just how sharp they are though, when you cut yourself you don’t even feel it as they slice cleanly 😂

@horseplay12it looks like we are both living the high life!

HolidayPlanningAgain · 28/11/2025 18:02

Sparkly M&S jeans, had them in my bag but had £17 off for Black Friday so bought them… have had to arrange a date night for tomorrow to wear them, (and then find the perfect top to wear with them!) so maybe not such a bargain 😂

Terrytheweasel · 28/11/2025 18:09

I went to the charity shops and bought 2 cashmere jumpers and two gorgeous dresses by Karen Millen and Hobbs!

TomatoSandwiches · 28/11/2025 18:15

Bought myself some French caramels and a bottle of L'Occtaine almond bath milk 😊 and will be enjoying both in a big bath later tonight.
