If you had a £100

To treat yourself to something what would it be? Could be 1 thing or lots of little things. For context I'm a female mid thirties

Where can you buy a llama or emu for £100??

You're right. Perhaps instead I'd get some art. Like a Picasso or a Garfunkel.

OnlyLosersTakeTheBus · 04/06/2022 17:48

But not a real green dress- that's cruel.

Outoutoutshout · 04/06/2022 17:49

I'd worry less about putting the heating on in November.

Or some furniture for your house? A nice Chesterfield or an ottoman?

The final set of curtains for the VW campervan

Best spend so far!! 🚐

TeddyTonks · 04/06/2022 18:09

I had this recently and managed to make it go really far- I got

New earrings x 2 from Etsy
New goodr sunglasses
New running leggings
Wholesale box of my fave choc bars

Had a lovely few days of treats arriving in the post 😂

muddyford · 04/06/2022 18:13

A search dog training course.

LadyApplejack · 04/06/2022 18:21

A White Company candle, Estée Lauder mascara and a bottle of perfume.

goldfinchonthelawn · 04/06/2022 18:22

DF-i-L gave me £100 for my birthday. I bought a biker jacket from Vimted, as new for £10; some fancy bath oil, another £10, a couple of books I wanted - another £20. I still have £60 which will go towards some new trainers for summer.

UrbanMage · 04/06/2022 18:26

Probably a new small tattoo, or books... Or a night away at a cheapish spa hotel on my own!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 04/06/2022 18:27

A massage and pedicure

Newestname002 · 04/06/2022 18:29

I need new, very comfortable (ie good heel support), unflashy but elegant dark leather trainers. I rarely use any other type of shoe these days, preferring to absolutely live in trainers. Except in winter when my footwear of choice are my leather, fur-lined Uggs... 🌹

Perhaps a monkey. I've always wanted a monkey.

Wazzzzzuuuuuuup · 04/06/2022 19:07

I'd buy some fancy ketchups, like Dijon ketchup. Mmmm

Mommabear20 · 04/06/2022 19:16

I'd say I'd treat myself to a night away with a nice meal out and buffet breakfast in the morning but it'd most likely get spent on DC in reality 😂

Ohhelpicantthinkofaname · 04/06/2022 19:18

I know it’s meant to be just for me, but I’d probably use it to either see a show or go to a theme park with my teenage dds. Doing as much with them before they leave home is how I like to spend my money.

sad I know.

Hawkins001 · 04/06/2022 19:35

50/50 gas and electric, as then more power for doing my games or hobbies and gas for a nice relaxing bath ect.

NorthFaceofthelaundrypile · 04/06/2022 19:37

A white linen shirt and summer beauty box from M&S, and the Chanel cream bronzer.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/06/2022 19:49

A tattoo is a great idea.

ChipsRoastOrBoiled · 04/06/2022 19:50

Some more plants for the garden. Or a couple of pairs of sandals/shoes.

Why is that sad

HopingForMyRainbowBaby · 04/06/2022 20:04

A night away and coffee and a cake in a nice coffee shop. Although given the massive hike in diesel again and the fact I use my car for work I'd probably just use it to fill my car up instead

SpeedofaSloth · 04/06/2022 20:05

Some new sandals. (I found myself in this position yesterday, ordered some flatforms I have had my eye on for a while)

MoodyTwo · 04/06/2022 20:16

10 pairs of PJs from Primark

AIPS · 04/06/2022 20:19
