I have £40 to spend on 'non essentials' and want 3 things. I can't justify them all. Please help me out...

[MrsSeanBean]

If you were me, would you rather spend it on:

this Brora hat; or

this ensemble for ds; or

this smythson notebook?

decisions, decisions....!

[VampiresWalkin]

£25 for a hat? Just a knitted hat....?

A not overly nice looking outfit

Or

a notebook of lined paper for £39?!!?!?

Seriously - you can get all 3 elsewhere and still have change

[JumpingDizzy]

Agree with VW sorry

[harleyd]

are you nuts?
you could get all 3 for £40 quid elsewhere!

[NewAmazingBeginning]

What is going to give you the most pleasure? don't buy something that you can't enjoy because it cost so much.

[JumpingDizzy]

maybe it's a wind up?

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

This is a piss take? Please tell me you are joking.

The hat is fugly.

The outfit is just .

The notebook made me roffle and brought a tear to my eye.

There I've saved you 40 quid, go and buy yourself something nice

[MrsSeanBean]

Yes I am nuts, taht's a well known fact

I could get a non cashmere hat for less, ditto a notebook (but it wouldn't be Smythson 'Dreams & Thoughts').

If anyone knows where I can get a similar outfit for DS however, please point me in the right direction!

[skyblu]

I'd get a similar hat from Next or somewhere.
I'd get a similar notebook from WHSmith
I'd try and find a similar outfit in Matalan/Adams/M&S/anywhere

And I'd have all three.

Couldn't justify the singular cost of the other things even if I did only pick one.

[HelenBurns]

The outfit is the nicest of the lot.

Hat looks too thin to be warm!
Book is a rip off!

[VampiresWalkin]

I was worried I would be pounced on for a lack of taste or summat

[Fimbo]

None of them....

[lovelysongbirdie]

lol very funny.

[MrsSeanBean]

And isn't it wonderful that we all have different tastes! MN would be so dull otherwise

PS - wildthings - what you don't know is that I am fugly too imo - so need a hat to match

[puppydetox]

none of the above

[conniedescending]

ok -are you having a laugh

hat is dull and overpriced

outfit is sorry, dreadful (don't do it to your son)

notebook - I am amazed that anyone has ever bought one of these!

[harleyd]

oh please dont dress your kid in that outfit!

[HelenBurns]

Oh MrsSB

Didn't you know that the Smythson motto is 'I saw you coming'?

[kidcreoleandthecoconuts]

If I were you MrsSean I'd get the hat.

The outfit is horrid, sorry!

The notebook is lovely but very expensive for a pad!

[IwishIwasamermaid]

Just out of interest, what would you use that notebook for?

Would you actually jot down your thoughts and dreams? None of mine are that noteworthy so I would just write shopping lists in it thats why I have a 10p Asda notebook.

[NewAmazingBeginning]

The outfit is just cruel tbh.
Hat won't be warm.
{shock] That notebook is a plain book with words on the front. Get yourself to WhSmith and buy some letraset letters!

[MrsSeanBean]

LOL you lot have no taste...

[ThornyRose]

£38 for a notebook

Do you not know we are in a reseccion? Jesus Lady!

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Don't take it personally MrsSB, but come on, even the model looks pissed off to be wearing that hat.

[lovelysongbirdie]

i know where i've seen that outfit before......... oh yeah a kid in a horror film
