how often do you treat yourself to something? , I was thinking before Ava how much money I used to spend on myself but now I hardly ever buy anything for me, it all goes on her, I got some birthday money and I even felt guilty for spending that

I was exactly the same, I was a career girl with a nice car, loads of clothes, accessories and everything.....



Now I NEVER spend any money on me......oh actually I lied I spend £3.99 every 3 months or so on a hair dye

Not too often really. I buy things in Primark mostly, but I wouldn't call that treating myself as never spend much and its basic things I need and its not even that often anymore. Make up I tend to buy fairly cheap and its always a huge deal if i get something pricey. Apart from that I don't really buy myself anything, that I can think of.

You shouldn't feel guilty for spending your birthday but I understand, i always end up spending mine on the food shopping or paying a bill and jsut think i'll get something for myself later

I was talking to my friend about this the other day. I cant remember the last time I bought myself something. I havent bought new clothes since......the dress for the banda night out!!! I hate spending money on myself i feel guilty and that i should be saving or spening it on alfie. I should make more of an effort really and once ive lost weight im gonna buy myself a whole new wardrobe!!x

I used to buy things all the time. Now I tend to spend all my money on Jamie. I do buy books for my kindle but many of them cost less than a pound

I love reading so every couple of weeks i treat myself to a couple of books frm playtrade and oh spends the same amount at the bookies and thats our treat. All our spare money goes on Callum x

hmm im the same, i recently spent £100 on clothes AND got my haircut in the same week, both of which i haven't done in over a year and were desperately needed, but then i see things which i could have gotten for elijah (new winter/autumn clothes, easel, shoes etc etc) and feel awful that i 'wasted' that money

for the next 14 months all my money will be going on my wedding but after that normal service will resume and it'll be back to Arwyn!

only when i desperately need something

although me and the oh always have our treats which are tattoos, maybe 2-3 times a year x

i bought myself some new boots a couple of weeks back £30 and some new clothes that is the first since i bought since maternity clothes when i was pregnant with finlay, its a rare thing now a days lol

i don't ever 'treat' myself...the last thing i bought myself was some new jeans/combats because my stuff was too big(spent £20) and i felt guilty for that!

To be honest i spend quite a lot on myself but that is only because i work full time so i do have spare cash left over. I always spend on Lily first and then me after so for example when i was on maternity leave i didnt spend really anything on myself as it all went on Lily! x

It's definitely a lot less since having Izzy, I don't feel the need to spend what i used to (and don't know why/what I spent so much money on!)


I always still have nice makeup, perfume etc ... don't often buy clothes, but I when I need something I don't feel bad cos Izzy gets so much stuff!
I buy myself lots of sewing stuff, which although is 'work' it's also my hobby, I make myself a lot of things

Before Libby I used to buy clothes/shoes/handbags every weekend without fail, but since Libby I never buy myself anything, if I do its because I need it. If I get money for xmas or birthdats I dont spend that on myself either. x

Ive just treated myself to some sweets lol I had to order them online and pay stupid delivery charges on them - that's about it im same as everyone else would rather spend money on Tyler.

I used to be terrible for shopping and would spend silly amounts each week on things for myself.



Now I prefer to spend my spare cash on the kids, or save it for when we need something big.

I've recently had a bit of a spree got some new clothes for work and outside of work as my wardrobe was in desperate need of updating. I got them in the Next sale so it didn't actually cost me too much. But I hate shopping for myself now but love shopping for Bethany and I could quite happily shop all ady every day for her.



I do quite like the new Marc Jacobs perfume "Oh, Lola" (I think that's what it is called) so I'm debating about whether or not to buy that or hold on and hope that if I make enough hints John will buy it for me for our wedding anniversary next month.

Arrh hun i am like that too. My birthday money is going in the crimbo pot how sad is that lol. I do buy myself something if i want it tho. I try and treat myself every pay day.



Char

I still treat myself! Not quite as often as i used to, but i do.



I think it's important to still treat yourself occasionaly, still having nice clothes/hair/make up has made me retain some of myself instead of just being mummy 24/7.



Don't get me wrong, i don't buy myself things instead of Alfie, it's aswell as. He's always got everything he could ever need/want and more!



Last week i was planning on getting this beautiful dress i saw in town, but on the way to get it i drove past an agricultural show that i'd totally forgot about so instead of the dress i spent the money taking us to that



Who needs a new dress when you can have hundreds of helium balloons, balls and teddies taking over you lounge anyway

I cant remember the last time i bought myself something. I dont enjoy shopping so it hinders me a bit x

I have 1 treat a month and that's having my nails done! But that will some stop as can't afford to keep it up all my extra money goes on girls I feel guilty treating myself and not them I also treat Ian if I have extra money

russ buys his games for his computer alot.
and i erm i erm, i dont treat myself, i'm terrible at buying myself anything, rather spend the money on my boys.

ive not had my hair cut in over 12 months, russ is always telling me to go but i just dont like spending the money
