sneaking upstairs early on a friday, settling in bed with a good book ,a mug of a good hot drink (laced with something alcoholic) and the knowledge that no one will need me to do anything till lunchtime next day!

I don't know that I'd call these "guilty pleasures" - it took me many, many years to realize that we need to nurture OURSELVES. All too often we make sure our family has everything they need before we think about our own needs, and we end up drained and cranky. So, with that in mind, here are my "self-nurturing guilty pleasures":
A foo-foo Starbucks drink and a pedicure every now and then
Quiet time all to myself
time spent with girlfriends - this one is really important!
a secret stash of Hershey's nuggets
NCIS marathons
Cranking up the wood stove to the point where I have to change into shorts - (I have to wait til DH is out of town for this one, hee hee)
something new from the health/beauty aids section - soap, body spray, hair clips, etc.
spending an hour in my LQS petting the new fabrics.

chocolate, of course, fabric, sewing & quilting book,
now a new one trying to reel me in. Toy metal or iron
sewing machines with pretty painting, flowers, etc.
My glass case needs to move on for these little beauties.
But money is calling to me you have a budget.

i love all your "guilty pleasures". but, i don't feel guilty for even one of them anymore. i loved, raised and nurtured my children, i catered to a significant other for over 20 years 24/7(whether i wanted to or not). so now, a little me time is on the schedule. to many wasted emotions on guilt. i prefer to live it up.(or at least in the confines of my budget)!!
