In the mood for some fantasy shopping! I would usually go for a bag, but nothing is catching my eye at the moment.

No benches thank you very much Grin

I did see a Shourouk necklace earlier but I fear 'statement necklaces' may be on the wane, they have been around for a few years now

Full sleeve tattoo Grin

Custom made shoes. I'm living in trainers and walking shoes, at the moment, because I can't find anything else I like that fits my wide, sore, collapsed feet and I've ordered DH to shoot me if I ever go down the beige old lady leather route.

Whatever makes you happy Honey! I'm too much of a wuss though, too much pain

I'm with HoneyDragon on the tattooing but a sleeve for that sort of cash wouldn't be up to much, I fear. So, I'll just have 5 or 6 hours of tattooing (and the accompanying design and drawing time) with my normal artist. Thanks Darling!

AnnabelleDarling · 25/06/2014 20:16

Oh you deserve it Mrs Lettuce Grin

Ooh, handmade shoes sound v luxurious indeed!

I wanna playI would get these and this this ,and look you have some change left! Grin

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 25/06/2014 20:21

Maybe one of those lumea (?) hair removal things. Too expensive to even consider outside of fantasy shopping unfortunately.

AnnabelleDarling · 25/06/2014 20:22

Very efficient use of resources Tess and Santa.

I love the Givenchy heels but fear I would suffer from vertigo in them Grin

Oh I'd love that J Crew dress, too, and also some heels.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 25/06/2014 23:16

Like these - quite acidic in real life. Beautiful www.net-a-porter.com/gb/en/product/402877

I would put £200 in the bank for emergencies (white goods etc) and spend the rest on clothes for DH, DC and myself. I'd get a few pairs of boots for different occasions. That's it really.

BikeRunSki · 26/06/2014 08:17

ouyvre and annabelle google "Conker Shoes Totnes". They may or may not be your style, but they are handmade shoes and they do a custom, bespoke service.

Showmethesunshine · 26/06/2014 08:19

I would go for a professional make up consultation and kit myself out with all the top quality products

RhondaJean · 26/06/2014 08:20

I think I would go for a course of microdermabrasion treatments. Am I allowed to spend the rest on personal training or does that not count.

If I could afford to train with my trainer five days a week for a couple of weeks I would be dead fit.

lurkingfromhome · 26/06/2014 09:25

I would go for:

A bespoke facial (the spa at Harvey Nicks does a good one)

A little bit of laser treatment on a couple of freckles on my face that really annoy me

A couple of really good serums (like the Skinceuticals ones that I can only ever afford to buy sample sizes of)

Actually, that lot has probably well exceeded the £500 ... I will sacrifice the laser treatment and if there is any change out of the £500 I'd have a really good hair colour with a few very expertly done and tasteful lowlights.

PastaandCheese · 26/06/2014 10:04

I think I'd blow the lot on matching underwear. I've lost my way with underwear a bit due to 2 x pregnancies and breastfeeding.

Loads of decent, brightly coloured bras and knickers for everyday.
