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?

Hotter

Bloody loads of animals and stupid injectables.
I’ve also started getting “luxury” pedicures and the idea of giving them up upsets me. 😅

Too right!!! Or that's what I keep telling myself... 😊

Getting my hair done.

Bread from a bakery.

HelloFresh every week.

I get luxury pedicures, I think it's money well spent - don't neglect your feet!

Yes braces do work in adulthood; I was mid forties when I had mine fitted. I had Damon braces - a type of train track that are fixed on and yes they were visible and horrible. I felt very self conscious at first, but I got used to them quickly. I could have had Invisalign, which is probably what most adults have, they are the ‘invisible’ ones, but my orthodontist advised me to have train tracks for my particular issues. Now, three years in from having my braces removed, I wear a retainer but only at night.

Composite bonds are like veneers, but less drastic because none of the enamel is etched away to fit them. They aren’t as long lasting or quite as realistic as porcelain veneers, but they are the choice these days for most people as they are cheaper and as I said, less permanent and drastic. I only had the veneers because they were replacing existing ones.

Holidays. I've never seen them as a waste of money.

As long as all the bills are paid and we can eat. We don't drink, don't dine out much, have a cheap car. No expensive tastes generally in clothes, tech or anything else. However, holidays are a weak point!

Omg, so so sorry, I didn’t add IT’S FAB to my post telling you to WEAR IT (got carried away by the boots) but it’s spectacular and if I could carry something like that off, I’d deffo wear it to Tesco’s and for dinners at home. Prime your DH to make flattering comments*, and bask. Please do that!

*Yes, sometimes you just have to. But only the once if he’s a keeper.

Could I ask where the posh charity shop is? :)

In that case, you both need to experience a Russian pedicure?

You're welcome.

I have this already, my friend.

Hooray! They really are the best aren't they? I swear I went down a whole shoe size they removed so much dry skin.

Diptyque bar soap, Molton Brown ridiculously named Oudh diffusers, Christian Louboutin perfume.

Maine coon cats

Making my shed a haven full of silly stuff that id not have in my house but that I love

That is gorgeous!

Mounjaro
Excellent theatre tickets
First class on train whenever possible

What kind of fish, tuna? Or caviar?

I took my late OH to Silverstone for the British GP as a birthday present, it was sooooo disappointing! You see so much more on the TV, at Silverstone you see each car once for every lap but at the speed it's sometimes hard to know who's who!

Holiday accommodation. We got a 3 bedroom detached lodge with 3 bathrooms and a steam room at Centreparcs even though my DS was in a travel cot and we all slept in the same room! At Haven we got a 3 bed gold lakeside caravan and then only used 2 of the rooms, we just put the suitcases in the 3rd room.

A little extravagant but we have a detached home and I miss it when on holiday so we like to go for some of the nicer accommodation.

Tickets to see my two favourite bands. I will travel overseas to see them and will see them both multiple times a year when they are touring. I love hearing/seeing them play live.

It’s got to be live music. Have been to 8 gigs so far this year and loved every moment. Got another 10 lined up before the end of June. Very exciting!

Holidays in glamping type places. Spent £2,500 for 10 days in UK but unusual places. Also both me and partner work away a lot so don't see each other much or do things during week.
Mine is probably cake after that. I have dietary requirements and the supermarket choices aren't great so I order from specialist bakeries.

Osteopathy/Massage

DH made me buy these for him recently and he still hasn't eaten any.

I have one of these. Yes I got the pink one. Doesn't get used for long distances or for long times but I love it! Safe and easy to get around the paddocks and to carry materials, and in tropical Australia anything that reduces my exposure to the sun and heat is brilliant.

Use it for carrying mulch to the chook pen.

Collecting tree trimmings and carrying to the skip bin.
Carrying fencing materials to the boundary fence.
Carrying pallets to the goose yard.
It cost me nearly $6,000 to have delivered to my front gate but I don't care!
As a retiree who lives alone with my arthritis, it is worth every cent.
