Has to be spent on you and not other people, bills etc.

Clothes that actually fit me, in viable colour combinations. Have a wardrobe full of clashing blues.

Happynow001 · 23/04/2019 02:27

A new pair of glasses. I've just broken mine beyond repair... ☹️

Myself

Nat6999 · 23/04/2019 02:30

Buying things for my new house, I'm waiting for a new council house & every spare penny is going towards furnishing & decorating it. I haven't bought clothes, makeup, had my hair & nails done for over a year, I want it to be perfect.

There's a top I really want, and a pair of shorts, they'd be less than £100, the rest I'd spend on petrol visiting my friend 3 hours away.

Gingerkittykat · 23/04/2019 03:07

I'm knackered, a short spa break would be nice.

Purpletigers · 23/04/2019 03:12

I’d put it towards some artwork I like .

Brilliantidiot · 23/04/2019 03:15

Some new clothes and shoes. But in reality I'd probably do a massive food shop as well and buy things like pate, nice bread, branded pop, joints of meat and fresh fish.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 23/04/2019 03:25

Summer clothes I guess.

BusterGonad · 23/04/2019 03:29

Skin care (SPF moisturizer, lovely cleanser) and a super nice lipstick or portable foundation (Estée Lauder DW cushion)

If the kids went in need of anything and all my Bill's had been paid I'd treat myself to either some new clothes or failing that I'd get my teeth de_stained and have my hair coloured and my nails done Smile

Raspberrytruffle · 23/04/2019 03:35

I'm terrible I always feel guilty when I get unexpected money I always think what can I get the kids? Oh that money can go towards a bill or a food shop. My dh usually has to drag me and insist I treat myself

Rockbird · 23/04/2019 04:04

If absolutely everything else was paid and no one else needed anything then I'd buy AirPods. I've been hankering after them for ages but every time I save up any money towards them something else comes up!

Parly · 23/04/2019 05:07

New pair of jhods. New comfy wellies / boots. Few large exercise / yoga balls for training with the dogs and kicking around in the fields. Some beers. Maybe a pizza.

FiremanKing · 23/04/2019 07:00

Perfume.

PrimeraVez · 23/04/2019 07:03

A massage and a manicure. Feeling a bit poorly maintained lately!

balloonyellow · 23/04/2019 07:04

Jeans that fit, all mine are too big after PP weight loss and sick of constantly hiking them up! Probs an eyebrow lift as one is slightly higher than the other

C0untDucku1a · 23/04/2019 07:08

The £30 shampoo and conditioner that doesnt irritate my scalp and make me constantly think ive got nits.

One summer dress.

New sandals

Bag

Disfordarkchocolate · 23/04/2019 07:08

Some new walking sandals, same style as I already have. Then a haircut and lunch out.

Happyspud · 23/04/2019 07:09

Day at the spa alone with afternoon tea and a book.

CuppaSarah · 23/04/2019 07:13

Some trousers that fit. Tights that don't have holes in them and a proper fitting bra.

RuggyPeg · 23/04/2019 07:16

2 sessions of IPL Laser treatment on my face.

Equimum · 23/04/2019 07:40

A pair of Converse, a Sophie Allport table runner and a decent pair of wellies.

IncyWincyGrownUp · 23/04/2019 07:42

Underwear. I keep sewing underwires back into my current bras as there just isn’t the cash spare for new.

evilharpy · 23/04/2019 07:44

A pair of bone conducting headphones for running and a lovely silky dressing gown from 100 Stars.
