@CorianderLord is that enough for the veneers? I hate my teeth but always assume dental work will be ££££

@cwtchesandprosecco

I got an unexpected bonus from work recently and in a fit of indulgence bought a Gucci bag. Ridiculously expensive and wasteful but, on balance, I don’t regret it Grin
Which one did you buy??

I love VCA. I had to sell some sweet earrings as I had problems with my ears which mean I now can’t wear them. I was gutted. So I’ll be buying something else from VCA with the proceeds! I love the thin perlee rings but also the Alhambra pendants! I could afford the sweet version but wondering if I should save the extra for vintage... which necklace do you want?

Put it away for a holiday when this is all over. Somewhere where the sand is too hot to walk on and the beer is kept in ice buckets. I still look quite good in just what my mother gave me so I'd want a wedgie bikini, tan my bum too. And pineapple cocktails, where they juice fresh pineappple and mix it with local white rum, lots of crushed ice. When will it be safe to book a holiday ?

Won the postcode lottery in May £1000. Bought new bed and decorated bedroom and new carpet.

Assuming we're thinking no Covid, can't use it for anything practical (or savings), I think I'd go for:

  1. A load of really nice yarn that I could use to make a properly lovely blanket
  1. A weekend retreat, not too far away, but by the sea with lots of relaxing time
  1. Lego. Either the big rollercoaster or a big train set

Just bought a new iPad for me, well worth the money for the daily use.

Get myself an old caravan and some materials to do it up.

IrritableBitchSyndrome · 18/11/2020 22:32

So. Many. Books. On Kindle, due to lack of shelf space.

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 18/11/2020 22:34

Hmmmmmmmm. So many decisions! I’d love to have my teeth sorted out but don’t think that would be a priority. Probably house stuff really. Beautiful new thick living room curtains

PattyPan · 18/11/2020 22:44

Diamond earrings
A really expensive haircut
A new bike
That’d probably be the £1k gone to be honest Grin spending spree in Waterstones Piccadilly if anything left!
