Bedding is so overpriced.

I'd buy Christmas presents or look in the sale generally. Anything you need for the house?

I think me and you work for the same large corporate Grin
I'm going to treat myself to some nice teacups, and maybe some posh tea from waitrose!

When i've had John Lewis vouchers before they've given the change in cash. e.g. you could buy a birthday card for £2 and you would get £48 cash. Not sure if they still do this?

Pillows.

@TheRealHousewife I guess you’re significantly posher than me then as I’ve got nice sets for that amount before Smile

@TheoriginalLEM no, I didn’t start until the beginning of July so understandably didn’t get one! I hope you find something nice to spend it on!

Something that makes YOU feel good.

Seen enough of your posts to recognise your name - get something frivolous, something you could never justify on any other grounds - something that makes you feel unreasonably happy because it's for YOU.

What sort of thing could that be for you?

@Sparklesocks sorry didn’t mean to come across as posh. I’m not posh at all. More Farmers Wife 😅 I was talking about bed sets from JL. They are expensive but wash well and last. Ours get ruined by the dogs sneaking upstairs for a nap on our beds, little buggers. They have learnt how to open doors 😮.

I recently had a voucher for the same value and I bought a really posh diffuser for my bathroom. I would never pay cash for it, so it was a lovely treat.

Big soft bath towels

Recently in this situation I bought overpriced, but beautiful, place mats and skincare stuff.
