What a difference a year makes! I treated myself as we had a small lottery win last week £72, OH got some paints & a t shirt, and I just treated myself to the Soap and Glory special offer in Boots (down from £60 to £25 whoo hoo), I ummed and ahhed, not used to treating myself any more!

Was nice to be frivilous [:D]

nothing wrong with that Fiona, life would be incredibly dull if we couldn't treat ourselves now and again

Fiona did you mean paints and a t-shirt or pants and a t-shirt? I just imagined you buying your OH a tin of paint for the front room!!!

Hahha Just had visions of another poor OH like me,getting treated to a 2 litre tin of magnolia!!!

What kinds of things does he paint?? I need to comission an artist to paint a picture of the wifes horse(done from a photo). Not for xmas or anything.

oh no I'm the decorator in our house, my OH is the artistic type I'm more practical, I've always been the decorator, he makes me coffee and cleans up afterwards!

he doesn't do that kind of art, his style is very individual, he's sold some stuff already we're going to really push it next year. But unfortunately if he painted your wives horse it would look more Picasso than realistic [;)]

i know just what you mean littlefi, bought a new top last wk(clothes allowance £), loved it in the shop but nearly killed myself with the guilt of it - almost took it back!

shows how attitudes to spending change eh?

you still dancing round the room kev59? enjoy.
