And when it was?
Have just bought myself a new phone (s7). I havent had a new phone in years and only purchased this one as I dropped mine in the bath and it makes its own mind up about when it will work.
I hardly ever buy anything for myself. Is everyone like this??
Before the phone I got some expensive makeup almost a year ago Smile

A couple of weeks ago I treated myself to a lovely little 2 seater roadster Grin. Have wanted one for years and decided life's too short and all that (yes I may be having a mid life crisis but I don't care!).

Babby Was it a slightly glittery one? I love Lipfinity lipstick and have worn it daily for years, but I tried a slightly glittery one for a special occasion and had the sandpaper feeling too.

Tickets to see Wicked 💚
Can't wait! Next weekend

Babyblues, you won't have to save for long. Agent Provocateur has recently been bought by Sport's Direct. May make them slightly less desirable though Hmm

Been on a low spend since Xmas but I've just given birth and got through two weeks of breastfeeding round the clock so I treated myself to a lovely leather change bag, a change bag clutch purse thing and some adidas gazelles

KeepYourPowderDry · 07/04/2017 21:14

A new saddle. £1150 plus £50 saddle fitter fee. About five weeks ago. I did actually NEED it though as old one didn't fit new horse. Fell off the second time I bloody rode in it and scuffed it with my boot as I fell. Gutted!

stumblymonkeyremix · 07/04/2017 21:17

I treat myself all the time.

Tonight I bought some lights that will work over wi-fi with my Amazon Alexa and a couple of books.

Babyblues14 · 07/04/2017 21:18

What the Hell, jellymuffin??
Can believe I wanted some since I was a tennager, they were always about 200 quid and now I can get them probably 2 for £20 from Sports Direct. Has definetly took the shine off themSad

Cross stitch supplies, bought over the last week or so.

Now I have various fabrics, a selection of cones with aaaalll the pretty thread colours and a 32 page chart! Can't wait to start stitching. Wink

Just need to finish the project I'm on as if I start a new one the old one will never get done!

I treated myself to a entirely new outfit for an upcoming wedding, part of which was a totally unnecessary vintage prada mini bag I just couldn't resist.

But I had about 2 years when I didn't buy myself anything at all, not even a magazine because we just didn't have the money, so I appreciate it so much now that I can have the occasional treat, and I know now that I definitely can live without if we ever have to drastically tighten the purse strings again.

I love Agent Provocateur too OP, but I am having to wait until I've finished breastfeeding before I start buying bras!

Babyblues14 · 07/04/2017 21:33

Same here @silkpyjamas
I'm 4 month gone and have gone up 3 cup sizes. Will let them decide what they are doing before I buy anything special. I'm planning on breastfeeding too so its a long way off

Toni & Guy shampoo

A Barry M nail varnish

Three velvet cushion covers

I'm on SMP so having to curb the spending...

freeDeirdreRachid · 07/04/2017 21:39

I'm intrigued, funnyfarmer, what cereal was it? I've always wanted to try lucky charms but everywhere I go they are about 7 quid a box, so that a no go since I will probably hate it

Buy the mini pots, only £1.50. Then at least you can try them.

MrsGotobed · 07/04/2017 21:39

Some shoes from Dune.

Not really a "treat" though as they'll be worn for work

Parker231 · 07/04/2017 21:43

Jo Malone body creme - gorgeous!

2rebecca · 07/04/2017 21:45

2 mac lip glosses 1 mac lipstick. And a 4pack of milky bars Grin

bibbitybobbityyhat · 07/04/2017 21:50

A tube of dark chocolate mint fondants from Lidl. Can highly recommend, they are lovely.

Am finding I need just a small something sweet after dinner while I'm not drinking for Lent.

Wolfiefan · 07/04/2017 21:51

An enormous puppy and a new car to fit her in! Grin
