How do you treat yourself?

After years of low paid jobs, I've retrained and am now earning a decent amount of money with a good £500 a month disposable income (after bills, savings and things for the kids etc...)

When I was earning crap money, I could only afford to treat myself with food or alcohol, or cheap cosmetics such as nail varnish etc...

Now I've got the opportunity to, I'd like to spend a bit more on myself.

So how do you treat yourself? Do you buy/shop or is your treat more relaxation based? And how often do you do something just for yourself??

Well done op.
I treat myself to flowers. A lovely big bunch {I find Morrisons do the best ones} split between the sitting room and a smaller posy in my bedroom.
When I remember I spray my pillow with lavender oil too.

A foot treatment. Much, much better than a pedicure. Best £30 you can spend.
