What\u2019s the last treat you bought for yourself?<\/p>\n

I bought some \u201cgrownup\u201d pasta bowls from Denby. They were expensive, but I thought \u201cscrew it, I deserve it\u201d, so I bought four. Not even a week in, I broke one, and it made me so sad.<\/p>\n

\u00a396 at John Lewis<\/a>Where do you buy your food from?<\/p>\n

Every week I think I\u2019ll go to Asda and do a big shop for the week. Do I? Never. I am an Uber Eats lady. I order from the Co-op and get all I need for the day, but I mainly shop there for its salt and vinegar crisps. They\u2019re so vinegary, they hurt the roof of your mouth \u2013 it\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n

\u00a31.70 at Co-op<\/a>What\u2019s the best present you\u2019ve given?<\/p>\n

The Dom P\u00e9rignon champagne that I got my mum for her 60th, which she opened immediately. I just thought that was the best thing ever because when you get champagne you think \u201cooh no, I\u2019ll save it for a celebration\u201d, but what\u2019s a better celebration than your 60th birthday?<\/p>\n

A bright red, three-wheeled bike when I was a child, that we called \u201cPickle\u201d. I can\u2019t ride a two-wheeled bike because of my disability, so it was my first taste of freedom and being able to do things that everybody else could do. Then, when I was about 14 or 15, my mum and dad bought me the adult version so I could join them on bike rides. So I\u2019m being greedy and saying two: little pickle and big pickle.<\/p>\n

\u00a3167.10 at eBay<\/a>What\u2019s your favourite online store?<\/p>\n

Sugarhill Brighton boutique: it\u2019s my taste all over. It\u2019s bright colours, fancy patterns, jumpsuits, co-ords \u2013 it\u2019s just really lovely, fun clothing. Whenever I wear something from there, people go \u201coh my god, where\u2019s that from?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a bougie bitch, and I love Aesop. I can be in central London, running about, and I just go in its shop on Lexington Street and go \u201cahhhh\u201d and relax. I think everyone knows Aesop for its soap, but I get my perfume from there. I have a spicy, almost unisex scent called Gloam.<\/p>\n

\u00a3120 at Liberty London<\/a>\u00a3150 at SpaceNK<\/a>What\u2019s the gadget you use most often?<\/p>\n

I call it my sex toy because it looks like a swing, but it\u2019s actually a cup carrier. Because of my disability, I can\u2019t carry liquid: this means I can carry my cup without it spilling, so I can drink my coffees wherever, whenever. It\u2019s made my life so much better.<\/p>\n

\u00a38.79 at Amazon<\/a>What\u2019s the purchase you regret the most?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a Yorkshire girl so I think about things before I spend my money. The thing that comes to mind is when I buy a book and then it turns out the author of that book is a bad man or a bad transphobe. Which makes me think \u201cwhy did I give them money!?\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the thing(s) you get delivered?<\/p>\n

Toilet roll. It\u2019s amazing that I used to spend life going \u201coh my god, I\u2019ve only got four rolls left\u201d, and then I\u2019d forget to get more and end up wiping my bum with a bit of paper or a receipt. So now every three months I get a load of lovely toilet roll delivered \u2013 it\u2019s a dream come true.<\/p>\n

From \u00a328 a month at Who Gives a Crap<\/a>Where do you buy your underwear?<\/p>\n

I really like Uniqlo for simple, everyday knickers. I\u2019m a large-booby lady, so I buy my bras and bikini tops from Bravissimo, and I like a matching set, so you best be sure I\u2019m getting the matching bottoms. I also want to shout out Curvy Kate. You can just tell that its underwear is made and designed by people who know what it\u2019s like to have a big bosom.<\/p>\n

\u00a320: Four tins of Perell\u00f3 olives. My nana is Spanish, so I\u2019ve got Mediterranean olive oil running throughout my body. Perell\u00f3 green olives are the best I\u2019ve ever tasted.<\/p>\n

\u00a3200: I\u2019m not assed about jewellery or designer clothes or handbags, but I love experiences and shows and going to places. Recently me and my girlfriend went to an amazing restaurant in Mayfair called Rosi at the Beaumont hotel, and they just treated us so well. We had wine, champagne, and for dessert you can make your own sundae. If you gave me \u00a3200, I wouldn\u2019t want anything that I could hold or touch, I\u2019d want to make a memory with a loved one.<\/p>\n

I am probably the only person in the country who doesn\u2019t use eBay or Vinted. Maybe I\u2019m lazy, but all of that thinking \u201cooh, I want that jacket, but someone else wants it too\u201d stresses me out. If I want an item of clothing, I just want to go online, buy it and be done.<\/p>\n

What item do you buy on repeat?<\/p>\n

Yorkshire Tea. When I\u2019m down to my last five bags, I start panicking and have to stock up.<\/p>\n

\u00a34.75 at Waitrose<\/a>\u00a37 at Morrisons<\/a>How do you make your coffee at home?<\/p>\n

In a Nespresso coffee machine. I have a Grind subscription, and I get the lovely little pods delivered. I am not functional in the morning without the little pod with a bit of regular milk \u2013 job\u2019s a good \u2018un.<\/p>\n

\u00a327.95 a month at Grind<\/a>What\u2019s your biggest splurge?<\/p>\n

Diptyque hand soap. It\u2019s in a glass container, and one of them lasts me an entire year. It makes me so happy whenever I go to the toilet and get to use a little bit of Diptyque. It smells so good.<\/p>\n

\u00a359 at John Lewis<\/a>\u00a359 at Selfridges<\/a>And what everyday item do you scrimp on?<\/p>\n

Socks! I don\u2019t care what\u2019s on my feet. I never see them. Just put something between my foot and my shoe, and I\u2019ll be happy.<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s your greatest vintage find?<\/p>\n

I went to Sandringham\u2019s Christmas market, and I bought a camera that\u2019s been turned into a lamp. I love it because I know no one else has a lamp like it. I also love it because when friends come into my living room, they go \u201care you filming us?\u201d, and I\u2019m like \u201cno! It\u2019s a lamp.\u201d<\/p>\n
