TREAT YO SELF

McChubbin · 13-09-2016 9:52pm #1

That first sip of a cool, clear, icy beer (or beverage of your choice) after a long day at work. Maybe it's a new pair of shoes or a nice top or even a meal at a new restaurant that makes you smile.

So, tell me Boardsies of After Hours: How do you treat yo'self?

Coconut oil fap.

sammyjo90 · 13-09-2016 9:53pm

I do all of the above tbh!

Even the oil fap

13-09-2016 9:55pm

A nice cup of tea and a sit down

failinis · 13-09-2016 9:55pm

A nice cup of tea or an early night.
Or maybe a new book or sketchbook ha

Barry Badrinath · 13-09-2016 9:56pm

Double decker bar
Cup of coffee with maple syrup in it
5000 push ups

BBDBB · 13-09-2016 9:57pm

On a hot day, that first mouthful of beer is special

I'll usually buy some unhealthy food that catches my eye or buy a few (maybe more) beers and settle in for the night.

Garlic Mayo fries I suppose.

Scone and a coffee from my favourite coffee shop.

A nice wander with the dog.

Cheesy pasta dinner with cheese on top and a side of cheese (that's definitely an 'alone dinner')

Toffee. Piles of toffee.

I bring my dogs for a walk on The Curragh, rain or shine. It's a beautiful place to clear your head from the stresses of the day.

Estrellita · 13-09-2016 10:11pm

A fresh kill.

Don't tell anyone but the Curragh's a big place, plenty of room for horses and dogs.

Yeah, but when do you treat yourself?

Glass of whiskey and some music.
Dry roast peanuts if I really deserve a treat.

McChubbin · 13-09-2016 10:36pm

Right now, I'm drinking a beer and eating a digestive biscuit. Going to treat myself to this in a few hours.

The Backwards Man · 13-09-2016 10:48pm

Go to the pub to drink Tennent's, listen to Guns N Roses on the radio and talk about the price of ram lambs.

Spanish Eyes · 13-09-2016 11:04pm

Simple one, I say as one of simple tastes...

Having a day when I don't have to do anything, be anywhere, deal with in laws, outlaws OH, anyone in fact!

Perfect bliss and it is so seldom it is wonderful. I plan at least a week ahead as to what I will do.

The simple, affordable pleasure of being totally indolent is my biggest treat. Thank you!

You should form a covers band with the auld lads down the pub and do a version of this with the lyrics tweaked:

Whoa, Black Betty, ram lamb
Whoa, Black Betty, ram lamb
Black Betty had a child, ram lamb
The damn thing gone wild, ram lamb

Call yourselves "Sheep Don't Shave Either".

I give my left hand a good workout.

FanadMan · 14-09-2016 2:27am

Every now and again, if I have a few quid left in the bank I'll buy some cheap Chinese gadget online. Just yesterday I bought a USB powered soldering iron. Prob won't arrive for a month or so and will prob explode as soon as I plug it in. But it was only €3.63 so it'll eventually give me a bit of a laugh. Or then again it might be one of these really flukey good builds and will stay in my kitbag for years.

Unless shoes and oil at the same time, GTFO.

Finishing night shift in a few hrs. Usually it would be a bit of tea and toast whilst listening to a bit of BBCR2 then bed.

But as now off for a few nights, breakfast from the local deli, stay up for an extra hour or two listening to R2, then bed.

Speedwell · 14-09-2016 3:47am

Download a new novel for Kindle and read it while snuggling a cat or two and drinking a mug of hot milk with a spoonful of Nutella, and occasionally a shot of whisky, mixed into it.

Around these here parts, we say whiskey - with an e. Not an E, I hasten not to add... Uisce beatha - the water of life (and/or death....)

By far the least dubious of my pastimes,but its the one that I probably enjoy the most.That said, the op has it right with a nice cold beer/whiskey/cider or whatever your poison may be,after a hard day in 'the office'

Lau2976 · 14-09-2016 4:56am

I have a hot bath, and lay on my sofa or bed watching tv. Usually results in a nap.

IvyTheTerrible · 14-09-2016 5:37am

If it's a day neither of us is working, and we don't have to bring the kids anywhere, we have a lazy morning all snuggled up with the kids in bed, I take my time over a cup of tea, and read a book. Almost as good as a lie-in!

If I meant whiskey I'd have said so.

I am partial to a good Speyside dram.

You could listen to Black Betty and combine your favourite things.

Depends on the level of treating myself.

Having a glass of wine if I'm in town shopping. I know it's probably a sad state of affairs drinking by yourself in the middle of the day, but I like it.

Buying something nice every week. Maybe it'll be clothes, or makeup, or a jo Malone candle.

Spending half the day cleaning the house, having the house spotless and then settling down on the sofa with my favourite blanket to watch tv guilt free.

fussyonion · 14-09-2016 8:10am

That first drink on holidays after you've been travelling all day.

The first cup of tea in the morning.

Fruit cake and a cuppa.

McChubbin · 14-09-2016 7:40pm

Treated myself to a dessert cocktail at lunch in my usual haunt. T'was a new item on the menu so it could go either way in terms of taste but it was delicious. Like a Baileys milkshake!
