What would you spend it on?

I am not talking bills or anything sensible but what would you treat yourself to?

I really want the Lego Botanical Gardens set, which will be released in November. It’ll cost £260.

I’d spend the remaining £40 on a pair of bookends I’ve been coveting.

I want a mini balcony green house ( it’s about £150).
and some giesswein woolen trainers (another £150)

A long weekend in somewhere like a Premier Inn ALL BY MYSELF.
Any change left over a small ish Lego set to build while I am there.

A big bunch of lovely flowers from a local florist = £80
A takeaway lunch = £20
A couple of pairs of trainers from Vinted = £100
A World of Books bonanza = £100

Sorted.

Ticket to see wicked and a night in a hotel.

MaidOfSteel · 21/10/2024 12:04

A nice pair of shoes. Pointed toe flatties. I can't wear heels so I think pointed toes are the next best thing for a touch of elegance.

Spa day
Theatre ticket
A trip to a beauty salon and book in a massage and a manicure
An audible subscription
A robot hoover (sorry not so exciting perhaps!)

I'd say a night in a good London hotel and a theatre ticket, but that would cost more than £300 😂
