"Me Time" - How do you indulge yourself?

With all the recent threads on working mums, sahm's etc., it seems clear that we're all short of time to ourselves because of the multitude of demands we try to meet.

I've been thinking about practical ways to make some quiet time for myself. Seems I run from task to errand to chore, and any optional time is used for playing with dd. Do any of you have a routine that regularly allows for "me" time, or do you (like me) simply hope that you can grab a moment here or there? When you have time to yourself, how do you use it (other than mumsnet )?

I wonder if I sometimes overeat because it's one way I can "treat" myself, and do exactly what I want. Maybe I wouldn't feel so compelled to comfort eat if I indulged myself in other ways? Have the rest of you got this sussed? How do you make time for yourself? What do you do to indulge yourself? Would be curious to know about big special occasion indulgences, and also the smaller day to day stuff.

no custardo, i think you're willingness to go right to the heart of your own self-indulgence is admirable!
