You've got £500. What do you treat yourself to?

Has to be you and only you. No saving it, no paying a bill. Purely a treat.

I think for me it's a Brora cashmere scarf and some See by Chloe boots.

You?

I would use it towards a city break - to Dublin!
Or buy a lovely piece of jewellery, depending on why I have £500 to spend on myself.
I would like either a memory (travel) or a longterm keepsake which I could wear forever

The big lego Hogwarts castle. And the time to build it with NO-ONE else around. Well, I suppose DH can come and see the really cool/ clever bits. I'd probably have some money left over, could spend the rest in waitrose buying snacks to accompany the building.

A snuggle/cuddle chair
Some christmas magazines to read in it, a candle or two, bottle of wine and some nuts!

Gym membership for a year (and some nice gymwear if there is any left over). Gym is something I just cannot afford but would love to go

A haircut and colour, and remaining towards a new laptop

Cashmere socks

A pair of nice leather chelsea boots, a bottle of Annick Goutal La Violette perfume and a cashmere sweater.

A Hermes clic clac bracelet. Totally frivolous but have been eyeing them up for ages but can’t quite bring myself to click ‘buy’.

I'd put it towards some new bike wheels.
