Jane10 - are you my long lost twin? ?

My guilty pleasure for years has been buying home magazines; I look at them again and again.
Just recently, though, I have realised they are mainly a platform for interior designers and people who want to share their lovely 'home' with you, for a vast amount of money, email address thoughtfully provided. They are not homes, more like room sets from B & Q. I think the addiction is waning; just need to read them one more time before I throw them away.

Jane ....haha, chocolate, gin and tonics, lazing about reading books instead of doing housework....I have lots too.

I don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures. Just very, very grateful. smile

I could not list my guilty pleasures I would be here all day.

My guilty pleasure is enjoying a Cadbury's dairy flake each evening.

I buy them at Tesco, and one week couldn't find them. An assistant was available, and I asked whether they had them in stock, confessing they were my guilty pleasure.

She went in the back and bought out 18 cones, as they were near their sell-by date she went with me to the counter, and authorised them to be free of charge.

I still see her working there most weeks, and we always have a laugh about it.

GabriellaG54 Wed 17-Jul-19 15:48:00

What have cones to do with Cadbury's flakes?

I think libra10 enjoys the Cadburys Flake 99 ice creams (in a cone) as opposed to the Cadburys Flake, the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate............drools

My guilty pleasures are searching the property sites for the wonderful and expensive home by the sea I'll buy when I win the lottery - I'm just nosey. I will stop and do a sudoku puzzle anywhere I see one, no matter what I'm in the middle of doing. I also search online music libraries and buy/or add music tracks (mp3s) to add to my Amazon music collection. I also waste time compiling playlists. Aldi's white chocolate mousse bars don't last long in this house as they are my food treat.

Buying books, I’ve got piles I haven’t read, and I won’t allow myself to read them out of order, so I’m usually about a year behind what everyone else if reading

NanKate Wed 17-Jul-19 20:59:57

Walnut halves plus a few grapes about 4 or or 5 times a day.

Putting on my pjs anytime after 5pm.

Avoiding housework at all costs, but I do keep the kitchen clean.

Sara65 Wed 17-Jul-19 21:28:48

and I usually have a little stash of white chocolate magnums hidden at the back of the freezer

Urmstongran Wed 17-Jul-19 22:35:27

Secret mini bags of Turkish delight and chocolate gingers from Thornton’s in my bedside cabinet.

I go into the bedroom to watch a DVD (my husband and I have different tastes in films - he likes shoot ‘em up with noisy car chases and I like films about relationships ‘Manchester by the Sea’ and ‘Can you ever Forgive Me? etc that he would hate) .... then I settle down on the bed to enjoy my secret chocolates that I won’t share. Naughty me.

Cheese and onion crisp sandwiches.

SynchroSwimmer Wed 17-Jul-19 22:47:37

Sauna and swim at the gym....
Followed by 2 pints of homemade iced coffee, feet up, in the garden staring at the distant horizon...
