If someone handed you £100 tomorrow, and you had to spend it in a week, what would you buy?

Food shop. Maybe some flowers with the leftover.

A question being pondered in Northern Ireland right now as the Spend local cards are issued. I'm going for a nice meal with mine, it's byo so will get wine in local off licence and get the train there.

@nicky2512

I just did - in Northern Ireland so we were all given a £100 spend local gift card. I spent it on new boots!
I was just going to ask if OP was in NI Grin

So far I've used it in Dunnes and Boots Blush really need to scale it down to the smaller companies somehow but finding it difficult.

Groceries.
I don't need anything at the moment and I am not into stuff.

Jo Malone

5 bottles of Russian Standard Grin

I need a navy blue mid length warm raincoat thing so perhaps that, but all the coats in the shops this year look like sleeping bags tbh.

Itwasgoodwhileitlasted · 30/10/2021 21:23

Pjs, light up candle, new trainers and coffee and a cake with leftovers

Firesidefox · 30/10/2021 21:24

Scented candle or two from Diptique or Neom, and hand cream

@midsomermurderess

A large house plant with pot and holder.
I did that when I was given £100 for my birthday. Gives me so much pleasure.
secretbookcase · 30/10/2021 21:26

A massive White Company Christmas candle and some new fluffy towels

mawkthestork · 30/10/2021 21:27

I've just spent just under £100 on new underwear and socks since the once i had been wearing were pre DD who is 2

TheLastSpookyBakedBeanSaysBoo · 30/10/2021 21:29

Boots
And some nice toiletries if there was anything left

Bumblebeefriend · 30/10/2021 21:29

In NI too and have just received my voucher today. Am thinking maybe gold stud earings from a local jewellery shop and possibly a new pillow with the remainder.

dizzygirl1 · 30/10/2021 21:34

I'd love a pair of DM boots, that would be my treat.

ParkheadParadise · 30/10/2021 21:35

A bottle of perfume
Probably Coco mademoiselle.

myusernamewastakenbyme · 30/10/2021 21:41

A bottle of perfume...some silver earrings...silver bracelet and some nice bath stuff.

Either books or this cardie:

maddiemookins16mum · 30/10/2021 21:57

New work shoes (£50), some expensive Rose face serum (£17) and two new bras from M and S.

FindingMeno · 30/10/2021 22:03

Perfume and bra(s)

MagnoliatheMagnificent · 30/10/2021 22:07

I'd get some big pots for my garden, green or blue.

What's the NI money thing?

Lynne1Cat · 30/10/2021 22:10

Some ankle boots, a cardigan or jumper, and a wig - since Covid in July, my hair is falling out by the handful!

NeverTheHootenanny · 30/10/2021 22:12

I’ve been thinking about investing in some reusable period pants, I think they’re about £25 a pair for decent ones so I could get 4 pairs with that!

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 30/10/2021 22:15

I'd get my hair done.
My hairdresser's been on mat leave since January, so I've not had more than a trim in over a year.
I'd also get us a couple of cream cakes for us to eat as we usually have a good natter while I'm there.

AlfonsoTheUnrepetant · 30/10/2021 22:16

A bottle of brandy and a facial.
