It had to be spent this weekend, what would you buy?

My options for consideration would be
Massage/spa day
Fancy dinner out
Horse riding lessons

I wouldn't do shopping with it and if I really had to choose of the above it would probably be the horse riding. (Not something I've done before but wanted to do for ages)

A facial and a dcuk with welly boots... random but there you are....

I just bought myself an Arts Pass for a birthday treat. Otherwise, I would go to the theatre.

OverHereTryingToFigureItOut · 13/03/2023 08:15

A gig or the theatre

PurBal · 13/03/2023 08:16

I actually have a spa voucher I’m using this week. So excited. Otherwise: theatre or travelling to Europe to visit family (flights aren’t that expensive).

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 13/03/2023 08:19

Theatre tickets

bumblingbovine49 · 13/03/2023 08:24

I'd definitely do the horse riding .

Craft materials.

£100 will probably only get you two riding lessons, and lots of riding schools ask for block bookings of 6.

If it was me I'd take myself to London for the day and go to an art exhibition, then have a really nice lunch and drinks somewhere, or afternoon tea.

A pile of books and a Stanley beaker thing that keeps your drinks really cold (and theres no way I can afford otherwise)

Perfume I have very little money but I often wear perfume that costs more than my whole outfit. Makes me feel luxy.

Dixiechickonhols · 13/03/2023 11:42

I got a dermalogica facial and some nice new gym clothes in the sale.

Floralnomad · 13/03/2023 11:43

I wouldn’t do the horse riding unless you can afford to carry on with it regularly . I’d go to the theatre .

MintyCedric · 13/03/2023 11:45

I did a mini spa afternoon at one of the Bannatyne places a few months ago…half hour each facial and massage plus access to facilities (pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi etc) for £45.

it was lovely, so I’d do that, followed by pottery painting then get myself a nice bottle of wine and a takeaway for dinner.

defi · 13/03/2023 11:51

I'd go for a sports massage

If near London, I have recently enjoyed
To Kill a MockingBird
The Lehman Trilogy
The Crucible
Big sparkly musical like Mama Mia, The Lion King or Les Miserables
Not seen Cabaret yet but you might enjoy it.

A silver bracelet

Isledelaray · 13/03/2023 12:07

A pair of sunglasses from Oliver Bonas that I love.

Or 4 lovely new cushions for our sofas as ours need updating!
