Has to be you and only you. No saving it, no paying a bill. Purely a treat.

I think for me it's a Brora cashmere scarf and some See by Chloe boots.

You?

One night in a hotel room, just me and lots of food.

A Toast velvet dressing gown, but not this year’s because it’s yellow and that doesn’t suit me. Plus some cashmere socks. Poof! All gone! What a waste!

Oh yes, definitely a night or two away, just me. A few books, some decent wine, and everything I want from M&S foodhall. Failing that, and if I was looking for an ‘investment’ of sorts, a necklace from my favourite shop. I bought one at the beginning of last year when things were a bit shit and I’ve worn it every single day since.

Can I leave it until after my birth and then revamp my entire wardrobe?

New bedding, but posh 500 TC sheets and duvet covers not the cheap things we usually have.

Ipl thingy to use at home. Apparently home use ones are pretty decent now and think of all the time and money savings on shaving or waxing.
And the remaining 200ish... new lingerie that actually fits since I've lost so much weight recently

New cordless hoover or an iPad.

Kurt Geiger boots and a pair of shoes.

Or a bag. It wouldn't get me the bag I would like though, unless I had a spare £1000 or so. Would make a change from second hand under £35.00 ones.

A rug I have my eye on, and another Anissa Kermiche vase. Or does it have to be on only one thing? If so, a night at Thyme hotel

I'd buy tickets to shows/gigs/plays for next year to give me lots of exciting nights out to look forward to.

To be fair you can get a LOT for your money in Spar Grin

For me it would be a city break somewhere in Europe (nice hotel if just me, or DH could come along if we downgraded a bit).

Nicely fitting bras from Rigby and Peller. I know it wouldn’t buy me many. But yeah. Nice bras and matching knickers. I’ve lost a couple of stone in weight and the first thing that went was two cup sizes Grin
