Marking the decree absolute

[avantguardeplanning]

Anyone got any ideas how I can celebrate my decree absolute? I've got at least six weeks to plan. I want it to be significant, but not costly. I still remember the pictures of Nicole Kidman when she got her divorce from Tom.

What would make you happy ?
Who would you share it with ?
It depends if you are child free ?

My first thought was a girlie spa weekend with some true friends who understand what you've been through

If you don't have much time - day visit - facial , massage , manicure, pedicure , hair done

I'd be feeling fab

Is there anything you love to do with your ex didn't like, so something you've missed out on?
Do that with a group of friends or family.

Or go and buy a new outfit, get your hair done and then invite a handful of people who have supported you out for a meal to thank them or go to a club and dance the night away.

Whatever you like to do really!

That should say anything you like to do WHICH your ex didn't like.

Ooh this is something I dream of! I have a dream of having a big party at a beach restaurant/bar nearby, free bar, loads of food, DJ, and just getting drunk and not caring if I make a tit of myself - because H doesn't like those things. Sadly, however, the years with him have reduced my friendship group dramatically so that def won't be happening (also unaffordable!).

My friend's mother took her and her sister to the Bahamas on holiday as a bit of a splurge. I also like that idea (also cos H is a bloody nightmare with holidays so would be nice to do that "freely").

So basically I agree with pp that it should be something you haven't enjoyably been able to do with him and would like to do.
