Hi everyone. So I have £40 left from my Christmas gift money! With the rest I got new cushions, curtains and some other house bits Hmm which is always the case tbh. Now I’m wondering what I should do with the last £40! Part of me wants clothes as I only get clothes twice a year - with Christmas money or birthday money, other than that I do love a good charity shop bargain BUT then other parts of me think about getting one or 2 more expensive items of clothing rather than cheaper bits at primark, or the really naughty part of me wants to just spend it on a massage as I’ve never had one and think it would be lovely to have a bit of relaxation time! Thoughts? Thanks 😊 (I don’t know if it matters but I’m 29 with 2 kids and don’t drink so won’t be having a night out with it or a bottle of gin lol)

I had £40 for my bday and spent it on a morning out with my 3yo- bought some new jeans, a jumper, a bottle of wine for later and treated us to a yummy lunch together. It was perfect.

It sounds amazing, but how did you do all that for £40?

I am building up my collection of beautiful
Side plates and
Bowls. Buying in the Cath Kidston sale. Bought a cute bowl and side plate with a chicken on in the range today (£3 for both). Got badger and squirrel plates last year at cath kitston.

A silk pillowcase.
It makes a massive difference to the state of your hair when you wake up in the morning.

You can get cheap ones on Amazon for about £20 that only have one silk face & the other is cotton or pay way more than £40 depending which one you pick but for about £40 you can get one that will do the trick.
