To mark a special birthday.

What would you buy?

Yes @YellowAndGreenToBeSeen I’d get a poodle too. Would love a Shetland pony but have no land sadly.

Moon22 · 14/12/2022 18:50

A holiday. Definitely! Make memories!

QueenWenceslas · 14/12/2022 18:52

I’d have a YSL bag

ThatshallotBaby · 14/12/2022 18:54

Edwardian diamond earrings. Maybe a necklace too.

MariahsBaubles · 14/12/2022 18:55

Braces

Holiday!

fastandthecurious1 · 14/12/2022 18:56

Trip away or a staircase up to my loft if I was being practical!

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 14/12/2022 18:58

A trip to New York or a Mulberry bag.

If I didn't already have one I would buy my sewing machine, I love it. j-shop.co.uk/collections/sewing-machines/products/horizon-8200qcp-special-edition

Otherwise a really comfortable, stylish armchair that only I am allowed to sit in and read by a window.

Ooooh I want that 😍

BigGreen · 14/12/2022 19:31

Electric bike! So fun

Lcb123 · 14/12/2022 19:33

An amazing holiday. No interest in fancy items!

underthemike · 14/12/2022 19:34

Probably a holiday or towards new carpets.
I don't need more stuff!

TofuonToast · 14/12/2022 19:34

The must expensive hiking clothes/boots/shoes I could find. Warm and dry, yet lightweight in winter. Cool and comfortable in summer.

Any change would go on art.

Sci · 14/12/2022 19:36

£1k on a local artist
£1k on a city break and visit to top restaurants, cafés and galleries

StrandedStarfish · 14/12/2022 19:37

Return business class flights to New York

Atmywitsend29 · 14/12/2022 19:38

I'd pay off 2 different debts and free up £100 a month 🤣

Hidingawaytoday · 14/12/2022 19:38

A holiday. I'm rubbish at thinking of things to buy for myself 😆

selfishactualization · 14/12/2022 19:38

An isa with £2k in it. Or £2k less debt.

I ruin all of my surprise presents.

Hidingawaytoday · 14/12/2022 19:39

Oh, or a trip to Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant.

WorriedMillie · 14/12/2022 19:42

In the past, I’d have said a pony, but you can’t get much pony for 2k now! 👀
A lovely dilemma to have though, enjoy ❤️

krustykittens · 14/12/2022 19:44

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 14/12/2022 18:24

A shearling coat.

Get thee to ebay. I have two shearling coats, bought for £200 and £150. Brands names too, one is Jaeger, the other is Joseph.

I'd buy myself a Highland pony. It's my 50th next year.....

BelenaConhamHarter · 14/12/2022 19:46

Ooh, teeth is a nice idea. Although for 2K I'd want them perfectly white and wine / tea staining proof.

So maybe I'll just stick with my wine / tea stained ones. Blush

userxx · 14/12/2022 19:46

Botox. Fuck loads of it.
