What would you buy to cheer yourself up?

I have £100 to spend on myself. And I desperately want something to cheer myself up with!! For once I don't want to spend it on something 'for the family'.

What would you spend it on?

Some expensive wellies for the allotment that I can't otherwise justify buying!

Is there an item of clothing you’ve been eyeing up? I really want some new trainers but could also really do with some nice winter boots so for me it would be either of them.

A good raincoat? Or a cashmere jumper?

In addition to the ideas above how about a massage and a facial? I always feel so wonderful and relaxed afterwards.

Down payment on a washing machine.

The element on mine has just failed 🙄

As pp, if it's something that you enjoy, a nice massage and facial or maybe tickets to see a group/comic you like but can't usually justify spending it.

Facial
Cut and blowdry
Hand cream

Spa day with treatment - bliss

I could "spend" £100 five times over when I don't have it - but can't think of anything when I do. Do you have something that interests you or that has been surprising to you? Have you saw a painting that inspired or saw someone on tv wearing a style you think could work for you?

For me it would be some metal or glass artwork. Or I would sign up to a class at the local college.

A jumper I have my eye on but it's £85 and can't quite justify it at the moment, plus a nice bottle of wine

Cleanser
Moisturiser
Nail polish

Good quality stuff that feels good when you use it!

This is it! Any other week I could spend it 20 times a day. But the pressure now is immense!!!
