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

New glasses too. Mine are scratched to buggary.

I've been off work following a bit of a breakdown for a few months & worrying about SSP kicking in soon, so as it is, it would be needed for basic living costs.
I was hoping to take DD to Lapland in December though, partly for her Christmas present and also because we won't have a summer holidays day this year, so it would be hugely helpful towards that.

Impossible to spend money on myself sorry but breaking the rules here and giving it to DD2 who has middle child syndrome and right now tbf I think she had a point. Not going into details but I feel desperately sorry for her right now and even though she is a pita most of the time, I love her a lot so I'm throwing the full £200 at her.

More glass fusing bits.

Ooh nice op.

A top I really want from Zara.

Some new sandals for summer.

Wine.

A new spring coat for DS.

Sushi takeaway tomorrow.

I'd put it to one side for the moment. The cat is going to die soon and I'd like to have her cremated so I can scatter her ashes. I'd also have a paperweight made with some of the ashes. Sounds a bit weird I know, but that's what I'd like.

Get my dishwasher fixed

An action camera. I’ve got my eye on a 4K GoPro clone for £110.

Perfume. A mustard yellow jumpsuit I’ve been eying up and a couple of pairs of earrings.

On my hobby, which is a money pit Blush

I'd put it towards a complete set of Terry Pratchett books.
Second hand and paperback is OK.

@64sNewname I don't know, but I have my suspicions. It was incredible that someone has the generosity to do it.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 26/04/2019 08:47

Purely because it's due atomic, my car insurance...though the £200 would clear it, just make it far more affordable. When can I expect the money?

Show me the money!!!! GrinGrin

WhatchaMaCalllit · 26/04/2019 08:49

*around now (no idea why that autocorrected to atomic).

Also by helping pay towards my car insurance it would allow me use the money I would have had to pay on something like getting my hair done well (which I don't do very often)

£30 on new jeans. £40 on new Birkenstocks. £20 on new sunglasses (I discovered mine are broken this morning and I'm distressingly sensitive to sunlight). Probably £110 on a nice meal with wine for DH and me :)
