You have £3k to spend on yourself

What do you buy?

The rules are simple: it cannot benefit anyone but you. So if you wanted to go on holiday, that’s fine, but anyone else would have to pay their part completely. You cannot buy anything for anyone else including children and you cannot pay off debt.

So in this dreamland, what are you buying?

I was thinking a VCA necklace but even in this fake world, I can’t imagine spending so much on one thing!

Teeth 😬

JudyGemstone · 01/01/2021 19:28

Camper van! I'd kill for one

pringlebells · 01/01/2021 19:29

How much is a tummy tuck? If it's within the budget then I'd do that.

simonthedog · 01/01/2021 19:31

I would redecorate my lounge.

SimonJT · 01/01/2021 19:31

I’d get a new piano

Tier10 · 01/01/2021 19:32

Can you get a Chanel bag for 3k?

gildalilly · 01/01/2021 19:34

I'd go to New York. Alone.

Can you get a Chanel bag for 3k?

Not one of the classics, they go for more than that secondhand. You’d get a wallet on chain and a purse.

Even the mini bags are slightly over £3k now.

RumJerrySailorRum · 01/01/2021 19:36

Lens replacement for my eyes.

Oh to see properly without glasses or contacts!

danadas · 01/01/2021 19:37

Teeth without a doubt but sadly would probably need more than 3k. Could do the top though.

Fluffy40 · 01/01/2021 19:39

A week in the sun, plus a new bike.

Turnedouttoes · 01/01/2021 19:39

Ideally a cavapoo but I guess that would also benefit DP so I’ll settle for laser eye surgery. I’m planning to get it anyway but buying a house this year needs to come first so I’m probably a couple of years away.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 01/01/2021 19:40

Either get my teeth fixed or an electric piano.

Pugdoglife · 01/01/2021 19:41

A break away somewhere sunny.
Diamond bracelet.
Mulberry handbag.

@JudyGemstone we bought one this year for £3k! Had some great adventures in it and some disasters too!!

GlowingOrb · 01/01/2021 19:44

Glowforge and a 3D printer

tomnjerrylover · 01/01/2021 19:46

Trip to Manchu pichu on my own

Flaunch · 01/01/2021 19:47

A puppy, either a whippet or a miniature schnauzer.

CeibaTree · 01/01/2021 19:48

I’d blow it on a Chanel handbag :)

Chickenwing · 01/01/2021 19:49

New tits!

Imiss2019 · 01/01/2021 19:50

Another one for Invisalign braces

I’d get a secondhand one from npn bags or another trustworthy source. Maybe this one
Janesandian · 01/01/2021 19:52

I looked into some teeth straightening and I don’t think 3k would cover it!

@Oldhabitsarehardtobreak I’m sorry to hear your negative experience.

I signed up to NHS and got a call in less than 2 minutes after pressing submit. I then had a therapist 2 weeks later. We’ve had 14 sessions and she has changed my life.
