Spa Days (tm). I can't afford to go off to a spa, so I do it at home. Soak in a hot bath, do a facial masque, manicure and pedicure, follow it with a treat for lunch (like some sushi, which I never buy because it's expensive) and/or a nap. Ahhh...

I have 2- a piece of really good dark chocolate (Hrm- I have some at home, maybe tonight?) or working with really fancy fiber.. I knit and crochet and spin, and some of the fibers are just a dream to work with but cost a fortune too... I want to make a sweater out of one yarn, but the yarn would cost 85$ to buy! its called cotton tape and at 8.50 a ball, 10 balls is more then I can afford...

I am all into fancy spices lately. Fancy cinnamon and vanilla beans yum! Good olive oil and fresh stuff from the garden. Maybe food should not be a reward?!




Tamara, I think those definitely qualify. Healthy food is a good reward!!

New books. I love books! (when I last moved I had literally a dozen boxes of them, the boys who helped me move were so confused, they thought that the boxes were clothes or shoes)




Ohmigoodness, YES, Melissa. My dream is to someday have a room with floor to ceiling bookshelves and some of those library steps. I have a stack of about 25 books that I bought and haven't even read yet. I'm trying not to buy more, but it's hard!

Does making out count?
I don't even mean anything extremely sexual or physical ... just plain old kissing and canoodling.

It's a toss-up between Tivo and my iPod. It's hard to remember what life was like before either one.




Cool! My husband loves his DVR (same kinda thing).

Fish from Marks and Spencers - it's expensive but actually tastes of fish and the fillets are boned properly. Sea bass is my all time favourite and salmon and trout are great with a bit of truffle oil.

My new luxury will be my dog and two kittens that I am getting when we move - I really can't afford them as I am on sick leave for a couple of months, but it's worth it. Looks like I'll be eating cheap fish and rice for a while - either that or training the dog to catch some for me!!!!!




LOL!! Catherine! A fish catching dog??!! I'd buy tickets to see that!! Ooo, and truffle oil! Now we're talking luxury!
