Sometimes I go to mass on a saturday as well as a sunday when I want to treat myself at the weekends. Once a year we have cemetery sunday when mass is delivered outside so that is just a complete binge.

Things for my bike or for me on my bike. Got a little Knog Beetle light last week.
When I had more money, I'd buy stuff like a Brooks saddle and Brooks hand-grips (those days are gone! But I still have the cool stuff... ) I've always been lucky and got things in sales.
As others have said, if I want something nice I'll buy it, not really treats as such.
But my one unjustfied luxury is buying a big executive f*** off gas guzzling car with loads of electronic gizmos.
Drive a sensible Punto, Focus or a Micra ?
Piss off, I'd rather eat my own gonads.
If or when you decide to give yourself a treat, what do you have? Is it a bar a chocolate, bottle of wine or some new clothes? Maybe something for the home? Maybe you like to treat someone else instead?
One little chill-out of mine is, when I have the opportunity and am in the mood, is to buy a take out carton of coffee and a small cigar, and sit in the town square outside the public library where I enjoy both, just sitting in the sunshine as I either read the paper or just watch the world go by.
I've been doing this for years and indeed, the lady in the library coffee shop by now knows just how I like my coffee and will joke when I arrive at the counter: "Got your paper and your ****..?" We have a little chat. It's all very sociable.
The only thing that has spoiled it (just a bit, but not much) in the last six months, is the arrival in the town square of a surveillance camera mounted on a high pole that looks down over the area.
Where I live is not the sort of place that needs a surveillance camera. I've lived here since the mid 1970's and have never known a handbag to be snatched, or a child to be abducted or a pub fight to spill into the street or anything of that nature. How much need is there for spying on the people as they go about their peaceful, lawful, everyday business?
I've always been a responsible citizen who finishes his coffee, uses the last dregs to put out the cigar, pop the butt in the carton and throw it all into the nearby bin. Does a daft old git like me need a heavy duty camera, presumably with a spook watching me at the other end, to make sure I put my rubbish into the bin..?
I still enjoy my little chill-out and pretty much ignore the camera..... but I know it's there.... its' an intrusion...... I can't help asking myself why this is necessary.

Ah, you say that now...
It's lovely to find one chilled at the back of the fridge:D
It's grossly overpriced but I really enjoy it so whenever I'm feeling flush I will treat myself to one.

I also like getting Kindle books.

A rarity because I'm skint and it's stupidly expensive for what it is but it's addictive. I could eat cucumber maki and edemame every day.
That and veggie Percy pigs.
