What are your extravagant spends that you have zero guilt about

[LittlePrecious]

My mum lives about 130 miles away from me. I visit her three times a year. I always get an Uber there and a first-class train back.

My friend nearly fell off her seat laughing at my extravagance when I told her about this earlier today😅😅😅

My DH has a bit of a tinned fish habit and can easily spend £70 a month on it.

What ridiculous, extravagant things do you spend money on with zero guilt?

Exotic holidays. I spend my annual bonuses on holidays with absolutely zero guilt or worry about the future. On my death bed, I'd rather have amazing memories than cash in the bank

Interesting 👍which country please?

I spend a lot more on clothes than my friends - buy less but only buy things I think are really beautiful and I love, and I know are the right colour for me and will look good for a long time. I spend less on holidays, skincare, restaurants, takeaways, subscriptions, etc. than they do as those things just mean less to me.

Horse riding - expensive but good for my mental health.

Craft shit
Thrift shit

All things that make me happy and enable me to put up with all other shit ROFL

I can't afford half the stuff on here and that's depressing! Holiday 8 times a year? I wish 😭

I do have one guilty pleasure and that is my temple spa skin care. I get the hand batched makeup remover, and the repose cream. One lot probably lasts me 6 months to a year, as I only use a tiny amount and not that often. But it smells like a spa. It is so absolutely divine. Goes on so smoothly and it's so luxurious! I deserve it.

The lady who waxes my brows always gives me a little Temple Spa pack at Christmas. I love the smell and I'd love to get some moisturiser but I'm not sure where to start with it.

Please tell me he knows about La Belle-iloise? Their shops in France are a must! Online too 🐟

Water. Since the south west contamination of tap water, I have not been able to drink tap water and now my test buds are sensitised to the chemicals it contains, it tastes rank.

I made the “mistake” of trying Fromin ice age water and now it’s the only water I drink.

Costs about £200 a month.

Yep, these are a regular staple of our food cupboard 😅

I've got a fuck off massive chandelier imported.... import tax was enough to make your eyes water let alone the price of the be-dazzles! I love it more than most members of my family.

Have you tried borrowing audio books from the library (easiest via a library app, usually borrowbox or libby)? Or if you have Spotify, there are some books on there I think!

I treat myself to nice gifts for my birthday and Xmas -bought myself a designer rug for Xmas. Other things have included a Lalique ring, a sewing machine and a very nice car.

Our motorhome.... haven't got it yet but planned for later this year. Can't wait to start touring Europe in it!

The reason I don't use borrowbox or libby is because I like to keep and listen to my books over and over again. Books that are 'disposable' I read from the library, but my audio books I keep. I don't have Spotify (which I should because my own books are on there!).

The Männkitchen Pepper Cannon…the pepper mill to end all pepper mills! The output is unreal…I smile every time I use it, and I use it A LOT.

Got it in the Black Friday sale though, so it wasn’t quite as crazy expensive.

Gigs. Band shirts, travel/hotels for gigs UK and overseas

Horse riding weekly, fresh flowers from the market twice a month and probably my biggest one, I eat out most Saturdays and get takeaway from a local restaurant on Sundays. I live alone so nobody to share the cooking with and after cooking from scratch mon-fri unless I have weekend plans, not having to cook is my treat.

Single estate Darjeeling. £105 haircut x4/ year. A facial once or twice a year. Anything more than that and guilt sets in.

Think you might be on the wrong thread 😁

WEAR THE LOT.
I have some boots like that, and yes the tiny hooves effect ❤❤, but my menopausal feet have spread in the meantime and now I can barely get them on, let alone walk in them. So...
WEAR THE LOT. NOW. PLEASE.

They're so easy and tasty to make yourself! You'll save a fortune!!!

A personal trainer, and food from M&S.

Oh, and stupidly expensive perfume.

Weekly cleaner
Several holidays a year

But we can easily afford it, so why not? Life is about 90% drudgery or asleep, so as much as possible I want to enjoy what leisure time I get.
