Ive held off on it because I know I dont really need it.

My usual beauty women sent me a txt saying they were running an offer of 6 sessions of reflexology for £100 which is really good, given that most people round here charge £30-£40 a session.

Ive got the money but it could be better spent really.

So AIBU, should I just book it and pay up, or be sensible for once and decline Sad it just seems like such a good offer and I love reflexology its always the one treatment I have if I go anywhere special)

If in doubt, kick it out I say. Sorry!

Give yourself a £25 OR £50 treat instead?

Can you book as Xmas pres to yourself?

(This is coming from someone non-sensible who just poured a huge amount of chicken stock down a sink so feel free to ignore me)

Yeah why not? I'm way too ticklish to enjoy it myself, if I have any extra money I just go to the benefit make up counter and let them raid my pockets!

I'm fairly sensible, and tend to talk myself out of doing anything, but even I think £100 for 6 sessions is reasonable, and if it is something you enjoy, go for it.

The only thing I'd ask is if they were qualified. £16 a session is very cheap for a qualified reflexologist.

ooh thats no help Smile some say yes, some say no.

Thing is I would quite like a night away with dh to see a comedian, and also need some botox in the next 6 weeks so thats more money again. (see I am trying to talk myself out of it)

She is qualified, but they are new in business and trying to get clients in I suppose.

Go for the reflexology, you will be so relaxed you won't need the botox.

Phone the foot people not the botox people!

Lines on the forehead are nice. Really, they are nice!

You do know that reflexology is a load of nonsense, don't you? But 6 foot massages for £100 isn't bad so go for it.

The fact you can get 6 of something for £100, rather than, say, £200, is not a reason to get it.

Why not buy one session (negotiate a discount maybe?). If you like, great! You have yourself a bargain! If not, you have only lost the price of one massage, which is going to be much less than £100.
