If someone put £200 cash in your hand right now what would you spend it on?

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

Deposit on next year’s ski holiday. Bloody love ski holidays.

Several massage appointments. DH says my back feels like I'm growing new bones back there. I'm so sore.

Or someone to paint ds’s bedroom. That would be a treat for me because as things are it’s me who will be giving up my “spare” time to paint it.

A re-do of my birthday. I had flu and acquiesced in my delirium to a shit pub meal. I wanted a nice pizza in town and a few new paperbacks. Might throw in some lovely skin care bits from Deciem too.

A nice comfortable set of headphones for my computer. At the moment I used a set that came free with an old phone, and they are rubbish and hurt my ears.

Take That ticket or Botox!

Things for the garden. And £50 to get my friend's teenager to paint the fences. Smile

As I don't have £200 I should probably get back out there & get on with it.

I'd put it towards the Coach handbag I'm currently lusting after.

Jinglejanglefish · 23/04/2019 09:51

Clothes and a good haircut

AnnabelleLecter · 23/04/2019 09:52

Going on holiday this week so I would buy some extra treats for me and him.

MumUnderTheMoon · 23/04/2019 10:12

Tattoos

Hoggytat · 23/04/2019 10:37

Some sessions with a personal trainer

TildaKauskumholm · 23/04/2019 10:38

Paint and canvases

DrMadelineMaxwell · 23/04/2019 10:38

Varifocal sunglasses.
Or theatre tickets.
Or spends for our summer holiday.

limesoda · 23/04/2019 10:43

Gym gear or a lovely pair of jeans.

Truthfully, it would go towards house renovation stuff. We are doing the bedrooms right now, and that is a huge chunk of the cost of the metal plates for the underfloor heating. Might go out for a cheap and cheerful pizza with DH, but getting one step closer to it all being finished would be the biggest treat of all.

A great hair cut and a bottle of L'Air du Temps.

Jasmin82 · 23/04/2019 10:51

I'd be tempted to run riot in the Lindt shop, but would be good an but would be good and only buy a few bars of chocolate.
I'd also get a haircut and some clothes. And Vimto. I'm feeling a bit down at the moment and hot Vimto always makes me feel better.

BonnesVacances · 23/04/2019 11:04

I'd either buy a second hand iPhone 7 or book a personal shopper at John Lewis for a wardrobe update. Knowing me I'd probably do both and spend the £200 twice! Grin

WaxOnFeckOff · 23/04/2019 11:15

I'm easy pleased tbh. I can't think of anything I want or need. Maybe a picture for the living room or take everyone out for dinner.

Medicaltextbook · 23/04/2019 11:22

New light trousers that fit. if necessary alterations as I’m short but don’t find nice short length stuff.

Even more earrings, but all cheap so I can wear them no guilt if I lose one.

TeacupDrama · 23/04/2019 11:29

new pair of varifocals
any change ( probably not with my lenses) a new pair of sandals

safariboot · 23/04/2019 11:33

A long weekend away. Because otherwise I probably won't be having one this year.

user1483387154 · 23/04/2019 11:35

Firstly a hair cut. Havent been able to afford it for over 2 years now and the rest on some new clothes for work.

AdoraBell · 23/04/2019 11:59

If I’m not allowed to use it for bills I’ll stock up on coffee, chocolate and Chilean wine.
