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

Filler for my forehead frown line.

LoubyLou1234 · 23/04/2019 07:46

Clothes! Haven't bought any for ages. Need summery clothes and for my hols to nyc and Toronto later in the year

bodgersmash · 23/04/2019 07:46

I'd put it towards a Dyson Airwrap.

RuggyPeg · 23/04/2019 07:48

Bodger - it'd be well worth it too. It's fantastic!

PH03b3 · 23/04/2019 07:51

I've been given £100 its going on holiday clothes but not practical necessary ones like shorts and a top something a bit special to wear at night which i would look at the price tag and go meh at normally

Dress for a wedding I've got coming up.
Some stuff for my face. It's teenage-level bad and I want to throw money at the problem.

PeonyTruffle · 23/04/2019 07:53

Am I allowed to say I would exchange it for euros for my upcoming holiday? :)

Euros and new flip flops after I left them outside the backdoor and a poxy fox stole my old ones

Eminybob · 23/04/2019 07:54

I’d put it towards an Apple Watch

mclady · 23/04/2019 07:56

Ray Bans

StoatofDisarray · 23/04/2019 07:57

My unauthorised overdraft. Blush

ILiveInSalemsLot · 23/04/2019 08:01

I’d put it towards a new phone

BirdieInTheHand · 23/04/2019 08:04

A take away and a lovely bottle of wine or two as barely seen DH for a week.

beela · 23/04/2019 08:05

Me: either 2 pairs of trainers (1 x running, 1 x casual), or a book and a spa day.

DS: an all blacks rugby kit and some new rugby boots

Dh: still thinking

Dd: still asleep but I can confidently say that she would spend the lot in Claire's accessories.

Cakeandmarshmallows · 23/04/2019 08:21

Going back to work clothes and new bra as I'm reluctantly going back next week after maternity leave. Also tasty easy cook for same time! Plus some chocolate lol!

angel0071987 · 23/04/2019 08:23

Some new maternity clothes and a mum to be massage at the spa

happypotamus · 23/04/2019 08:26

Am I allowed to use it to get the boiler fixed? Does that count as a bill? DH is currently investigating why we have no hot water, but if the boiler is fucked we can't afford to fix it, definitely not until pay day and not really then either as the money is already accounted for.

If not, then I would spend it on clothes, because I am wearing jeans that are falling apart and tops I mostly don't really like.

Laniakea · 23/04/2019 08:27

Botox & new sandals

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 23/04/2019 08:32

A mini Magimix food processor. And a manicure and pedicure to make me feel less troll-like.

Mabelface · 23/04/2019 08:35

A new pair of doc martens

HappyMisfit · 23/04/2019 08:35

Shoes . Very impractical shoes

NancyJoan · 23/04/2019 08:35

If this is allowed, plants for the garden. I've got an entry bed and want to fill it.

Otherwise, new Birkenstocks and a dress from The White Co that I've got my eye on.

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 23/04/2019 08:38

I'd have an outside tap installed, buy a hosepipe (for my back!) and buy some nice fruit bushes from the garden centre (can't justify £15 a pop at the moment)

TowerRingInferno · 23/04/2019 08:57

A rug for my bedroom

foxyfemke · 23/04/2019 09:15

A wee spa break, on my own. It's been a tough few months and I'm in desperate need for a recharge, but finding time and money is not easy.

TheInvestigator · 23/04/2019 09:17

Some new camping stuff. I’ve got my eye on a few things but they are not needs, just wants so I’d be getting those for camping fun!
