To ask what you’d do with £1500

[AStudyinPink]

Just received an unexpected windfall of about £1500. Very happy. Will probably do something sensible with it (have savings but planning home improvements).

But just to while away the hours, what would you do with £1500 this weekend if you could just spend it on yourself, and things you want rather than need?

Ragdoll kitten

Yes! Just googled it.

I always think a nice watch or handbag but it’s just a thing at the end of the day

So a holiday probably (when we can go again )

Boring but baby stuff and new switch games.

I would book an optimistic trip for later in the year, on really good cancellation terms so I wouldn't risk loosing it = +/- £1000

I would order dinner from the slightly nicer Indian resturant +/- £35

Pop to the supermarket and get some really nice Gins £20

Leaving me with +/-£445 - I would spend this online shopping on some nice clothes.

New electric bike, mines 10+ years old and battery is knackered.

Already got a ragdoll cat and a ragamuffin kitten. My Ragdoll would move out if I brought another kitten home.

I'd get a log burner put in.

I know technically it's a home improvement but I'm the only one in our house who wants one so it would actually be just for me.

i'd buy a really nice upholstered armchair by pols potten.

Chuck it in the bank I guess. If I dont want or need anything whats the point spending it?

I'd buy this:

djorup.net/products/wave-branch-ring-with-diamonds

It was a struggle between this & the ring I chose for my engagement ring.

New bedroom furniture from The Cotswold Company. I've been eyeing up their website this afternoon!

If I dont want or need anything whats the point spending it?

Leave, please. This is a thread for frivolous, irresponsible spendthrifts.

A new patio so I can sit outside with coffee and hide from the children during homeschool.

We had a win on the postcode lottery and had air con put in.

A new fanny trimmer mine has just died mid cut then stick the change in next year's holiday fund

I'd buy the chest of drawers that I've had my eye on for a while, and a new sideboard to house all my beautiful glassware. Both of those are things I want as oppose to need 🤣

If I could I'd get my hair done, just to add the cherry to the cake 💁🏼‍♀️

How inconsiderate!

Beetlebum1981 that's beautiful, good choice!

I’d replace ALL my kitchen dining stuff. I’ve had things for years, hand me downs etc..
Dining set
Cutlery
Saucepans
Serving bowls etc

Just to say, my choice may seem borning. But I love cooking/entertaining (normal times)

If it had to be spent this weekend and we weren’t in lockdown, I would have an amazing mini break in London (staying in a lovely hotel, going to see a show and just generally spoiling myself!). Otherwise, maybe some really nice antique furniture (and a takeaway of whatever I want).

I'd get my living room floor sanded and varnished a deep walnut stain.

SOCKS please tell me where you can get really nice gins for £20???

At the moment, my wish list includes - the Freddie's Flowers cut down vase; new bras; a Biorb fish tank; smart lounge wear for lockdown living; a Waves hot tub; a soup kettle; decent wine glasses as I keep breaking them and a set of Circulon saucepans. I reckon that would deal with most of £1.5k!

We were going to do it ourselves but could afford to get it done by someone else if we got a windfall.
