Why is it so hard...

To buy something for myself?

I have £400. To spend all on me! Well, Its meant to be just for me, for new clothes and shoes and things I need. And a little treat of course. But I honestly dont know how I will manage to spend it on myself! Ill probably get LO more presents that she doesnt need, give some to OH, buy more presents for friends and family and it will just disappear!
I am in dyer (sp?) need of new clothes and shoes (I actually only wear 2 pairs, one of which is snow boots!) but anytime I have money to spend on myself, I nd up getting nothing and spending it all on other people!

Anyone else have this problem?

Yes I do, I actually find it really hard to buy things for myself!
Everyone always comments on the way Bobby is dressed and what he wears etc because I put so much effort in to what he has and looks like and don't bother about myself!

OH has just ordered all my Christmas presents and every year I don't know how he does it, he has all these ideas and I don't even know what I want!

Yes! I dont ever buy things for me...

 

[marmaduke]

Errrrrm NO.
I love buying stuff for the house, so I go through all my magazines (ideal home etc) & find things to buy.
How about booking a day out for the family or a show at christmas if you struggle to spend it on yourself.
£400 would be a years clothes budget for me. Shoes are so expensive though, in clarks the boots I picked up were £120! (of course I then placed them back on the shelf & vacated the shop) x

What I'd do is go on your favourite clothes website and anything you like add it to the cart so you end up with about £700 worth in there and by the time you get it back down to £400 you will feel like you have hardly got anything and you can't spare a penny
It's so much easier to spend money online than it is in store I find (not that I ever have any money to spend )

I find it hard too but wifey forces me to buy things for myself when I need them. LO's have enough already, treat yourself

Maybe try a session with a personal shopper? I'm afraid I have the opposite problem. I could spend that much in 10 min on the internet given a chance

I would end up spending on lo too.

Yes I have this problem too I find it hard to spend money on myself instead of LO or OH. You could put it towards a get away/holiday then you can al benefit lol this is the kind of thing I think which makes it evan harder to spend ahh x
