I have £1000 to spend on ME! What would you get ?

[felttippens]

I don't want to fritter it ! Or let it just go in bank account and dwindle away!

What would you buy with £1000 x

Personal training sessions and a spa weekend!

Coat, boots, piece of jewellery : you'll still be using them for years and years
(my fave winter boots are 25 years old and the shop still sells the same style as they are utterly classic)

New passports for DH and I and a little trip away for the two of us. We have two very small children who would stay with Nan and Grandad, so only a 4 night trip, but somewhere we could relax totally.

clothes! desperately needed

I would have a couple of weeks in Thailand on my own.

or

Lapland for Christmas.

Weekend away with the children, weekend away as a couple, trip to the opera/ theatre in London.

Would also be tempted by a piece of jewellery/ watch but don't think I could spend that amount on one piece.

A weekend to NYC with a friend. Spend remaining money there.

Nice boots
Bag
Jeans
Some nice wool items.

Wow, each to their own but I will never understand why anyone would spend £1k on a handbag... I know that comment might rile some people up, but bloody hell! That's a lot of money just for lugging around your keys, phone and lippy...

Jewellery or a watch - whether a second hand Rolex or similar.

I wouldn't waste it on clothes or a handbag.

Flights to UK to spend Christmas with parents (even ILs )

Halle
Once you have bought flights to NYC for two and accommodation there will be about a dime left of the £1000

Nope my friend would be paying for his own flights. So would have the remainder to spend. I have a friend to go with just no money to fund the trip my end.

I'd get a new front door!

But style wise i'd get your tooth fixed.

Or i'd get expensive coat, teeth whitened, two cashmere jumpers.

I would pay my rent with it as homelessness is creeping ever nearer

Bloody hell OP you're brave....

Jewellery or an investment bag for me.
Or I'd put it towards my dream Cartier Tank Francaise in gold and white gold.

Enough PROPERLY fitting bras for each day of the week, in a few different colours.

Definitely a nice classic coat - long - not black as I have one already, but a colour that will last a few years (haven't a clue what that might be!)

A pair of black boots and a pair of brown that fit well on my humongous calves

2 pairs of trousers that fit the size I am now.

2 warm but smart sweaters

I came into some money recently and decided to allocate $3k for "frivolity spending". OMG! It was so much fun! I bought a few things for the house and for us and the kids that I wouldn't normally have bought, mainly as I would have deemed them too expensive for what they are.

It made me want to budget more so I could do it more often

Premium Bonds.

Cool, what did you buy?
