Daily: Give myself a treat

I originally joined this goal as I thought it would be good for my self-esteem to try and do something nice for myself everyday.

I have to say that there haven’t been that many occasions where I actually think ‘what shall I treat myself to today?’ – I tend to think ‘what have I already done today that felt like a treat?’. That has made me realise that I do generally treat myself to something everyday, be it a nap, a snuggle with Little Jimmers or just something plain selfish that I felt like doing!

I’m retiring this goal now safe in the knowledge that I will continue to take a little time each day to do something nice for myself because I deserve it!

Okay – so it wasn’t a fully fledged pampering massage at a beauty parlour….but I did make time whilst cooking and eating my porridge this morning to give myself a french manicure. It was a little unecessary but it made me feel nice all day.

I know I’ve only been back one day but I had to disappear off a couple of times today. I made the time up but it was good to nip off this morning to go to the gym and then later this afternoon I had an appt near home so I popped in just to give Little Jimmers and hubby a quick kiss!

Nope not my darling husband but Desperate Housewives – looking forward to curling up and watching this in a bit.

Yup – you read right. I had TWO naps today! I only really meant to get into bed to warm up but then I fell asleep…..once this morning in between my hospital appts and once this afternoon after the gym.

Well, I had to make the most of it as I am back to work tomorrow :(

After Jimmers I enjoyed a fun but chilly walk along the beach we sought warmth in a seafront cafe where I had a hot lemon and ginger (helped my ouchy throat) and Jimmers has a glass of milk :)

Leek, onion and potato – scrummy and hot – perfect for a cold winter’s day!

After my electrolysis appt today I stayed for a massage – it was fantastic! I haven’t had a professional massage for years and I had forgotton just how amazing it is. It was a little painful in places as she worked out my (many) knots but it was well worth it!

Instead of being annoyed by my fringe being just a little bit too long and scruffy I popped to the hairdressers for a quick trim. Now I don’t have to put up with the irritation and I can probably go a bit longer until my next full hairdo!

I did intend to give myself a manicure as my treat today then I thought about it and decided what I really wanted to do was crawl into my bed, read a bit of my book and doze off for a few minutes.
