    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Sleepy&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I can relate and I struggle with this too. It’s interesting (and frustrating) that we feel more of a need to justify a purchase when it’s for ourselves. &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I think our subconscious recognises something we come across that is good for us. Finding something we connect with could be exactly what we need at that time. Even as our conscious mind might struggle with the decision afterwards. &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I love how flowers soften our surroundings in the way that only flowers can. However, one of our cats loves chewing on them so they often don’t last long at our place - even dry ones! Sometimes he loves just pulling them all out of the vase. I’ve tried giving him his own pot of cat grass. But tipping over vases is still too much fun apparently!&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
So far the only thing he hasn’t chewed on or disturbed are some dry cotton flowers. I appreciate them even more now because they’ve survived our cat.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For me it's lotto, poker machines and hotel stays. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ive been lucky and won small sums of money which entice me to go back for more. I've been one number short of a first division lotto win twice. I've also won the venues $1000 win while playing a pokie. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I like change which is the reason for my hotel stays. I usually stay for one or two nights to explore a new area. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What are your guilty pleasures? &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Monkey_Magic&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I like your idea of staying for two nights to explore a new area. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately my guilty pleasure is probably over doing the transition from morning to afternoon readyness. A lot of people just wake up on a Saturday morning have breakfast and shower and head out for the day. I unfortunately like to wake up - not move for about 5mins, stay in bed watching some Youtube for 20 - 30 mins.... AND THEN go and grab breakfast haha. I'm definitely not a morning person.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear MM&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Chocolate deserts (I'm on a diet), buying more on-line books and DVDs than I should, and worst of all not picking up the phone if I don't want to talk then feeling peace afterwards and being glad abut it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Pretty ordinary stuff I'm afraid&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Monkeymagic&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My guilty pleasures are buying more things for my very eclectic house. My latest purchase was a toucan bird feather. Ive never owned a credit card so thats a good thing. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ps croix anything chocolate is seemed as essential medicine in my eyes&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face:"&gt;😀&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cheers lynne&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Its been a pleasure to read about everyone's guilty pleasures. Staying in bed that bit longer is one of my guilty pleasures as well. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Croix I'm assuming they are diet choc desserts then. A good way trick the brain into believing you're eating something naughty.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Helium i bet your eclectic house looks wonderful!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear MM&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;They were "unrighteous female sibling" desserts, NOT lo fat &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt; My brain is not that easily tricked!&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Monkey thanks for this thread.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; While I  feel guilty about many things I really wonder if I feel guilty about spending money on.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;One pleasure but does not cost money(apart from having a TV)  is to watch an English TV show about crime in villages or spending time on FB when I should be doing other things and like looking at catalogues , online and offline or staying bed typing on my ipad.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Quirky &lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey MM&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I love the term guilty pleasures....and totally agree with Croix..chocolate deserts are the bomb!  My all time favorite is chocolate self saucing pudding...low fat of course..lol&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But for me it is to go to the local shopping centre and spend about $50 on a head, neck and shoulder massage...it takes me to another place and I can totally zone out and get rid of the days stuff...if I had my way I would have one everyday!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Great to chat to you all &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;AS&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Full fat guilty choc deserts it is then &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt; I'm currently eating Nutella out of the jar. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hi Paul, got to love those specials.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Crime shows is one of my guilty pleasures also. I also love new recruit and swat- cops catching the baddies. Facebook-yep i still use it as well. My mum and granny have their faces in catelogues. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hhmmm..massages. Last one I had was from a massage chair. But those human massages are ah-mazing....u can feel so floaty and loose afterwards &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I love buying my son duplo building sets, so much so that he now has a huuuugggee tub full! They are so much fun to play with though!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I also love shopping and looking at everything, it helps with my anxiety. My husband has put me on a budget now though &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_squinting_face:"&gt;😆&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and chocolate of course!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Lovemybabies, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yes, window shopping is great for anxiety, it calms me down also. And chocolate &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Lucky son, that's sure to keep him busy for hours &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;After a big day in the office (I mean hectic), I disconnect with Reflexology while listening to the "most relaxing music ever" (search on youtube) and float away.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A tub of ice-cream also! &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey MM&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;been feeling guilty about looking to buy a pair of Levi 501's....hmmmmm&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;are they still available? (the 501's)&lt;/P&gt;
