To ask what you’d spend £528 on for your 32nd birthday after my bday plans fell apart?

I booked a spa hotel for two nights to celebrate my 32nd birthday (which is today) but it’s been a disaster. My room was full of bugs and spiders and when they moved me, the new room had centipedes and ladybirds! I decided to check out early and got my money refunded (£528). Now I’m wondering what to do with it instead - what would you spend it on if it were your birthday? A luxury treat? A different experience? Or would you just save it? Inspire me!

I'd go with either nice jewellery or a weekend at Champney's (except in the unlikely event Champney's was where you had the bad experience) with some nice treatments booked.

More importantly where is this so we don’t book? I do not find spiders remotely relaxing 🤣

Spa day, lunch, a shopping treat

Happy birthday.

I would go get my nails done and go shopping.

Me too! A nice lunch also!
