... what S&B things would you spend it on (that you don’t in RL due to not being loaded!)

My wish list:

Laser hair removal, limitless, whenever/wherever I needed it. I have done laser on my legs/face but after a few years the hairs start to come back more than i’d Like but I can never afford top-ups!

Weekly deep-tissue back/neck massage, that would be HEAVEN.

Twice-weekly blow-dry; I’m cack handed and my hair is problematic and I look SOOOO much better with a proper professional blow-dry.

Reflexology every few weeks, just because.

Anti-ageing facial every 6 weeks.

Straighten my teeth, whiten them too while I’m at it, because why not!

And clothes-wise, a fabulous underwear revamp including silk pyjamas!!

Not asking for much, am I??!

Actually I’m fairly happy with how I look, at 43 it’s not perfect but I’m comfortable in my skin; would just be lovely to be able to add any (or all!) of the above as treats (or necessities in the case of the laser) without wondering how the hell I could afford or justify it!!

Not fussed about beauty stuff at all, get regular hair cuts and would continue with that but not into make up or nails and suspect masses of treatments are actually bad for skin and hair.

Clothes wise I'd just up my budget and buy as ethically as possible while still thinking about style.

I exercise regularly already, but as a PP said maybe a private lap pool and a regular sessions 3 times a week with a yoga instructor. Maybe a private chef to avoid temptation.

Handmade slippers, trainers and shoes for my nightmare feet.

Laser hair removed underarms.

A stylist to help me work out what looks good on me.

Coats and jackets altered so I can use them. (I can only use certain types of zip due to my disability.)

Laser hair removal
6 weekly cut and colour
I'd get blow drys and styling whenever I went our
4 weekly brow wax and tint
Regular manicure and pedicure because my nails are shit
Regular facials
Weekly spa day for massage treatments etc
I'd buy myself a dyson Airwrap
I'd really like some sort of filler for my upper lip but I've seen too much bad work to risk it I think
I'd have a personal chef and trainer to help me shift my weight
I'd have private treatment for my skin condition
I'd have my own pool so I could swim every day
My room would look like a branch of boots with all the beauty products

Oooh, I love this thread!

Teeth whitened and straightened.
Actually go to the hairdresser (I could afford this now but am too lazy).
Buy beautiful high-quality cashmere - jumpers, cardigans, scarves, socks, joggers.
Personal shopper at Harvey Nicks for a monster splurge (in general).
A buttery soft black leather jacket.
One of those silk brocade dressing gowns linked to on here a while ago.
A 100% wool winter coat.
Expensive/well-cut jeans.
White Stan Smiths AND black trainers.
New gym kit that makes me look sleek rather than podgy.
I would also pay to get cute dresses/skirts etc turned up professionally rather than trying to do it myself (am 5’2”).
New glasses in different colours.

Personal trainer who could also coach trampoline.

Made to measure Jeans. I hate shopping for jeans. I'd happily have som someone measure me, make me half a dozen perfect pairs of jeans and bring them to me.

yep weekly massages and to take a laser to everything below my eyelashes. i'd also have my eyes lasered! but funnily enough id pick being smooth over being able to see!

i'd also have my lashes permed permanently.

i'd basically be in the spa every day because I'm not too fussed about many things we are supposed to do to ourselves these days.

MerryDeath · 31/10/2019 16:22

oh yeah botox though! yep

HowlsMovingBungalow · 31/10/2019 16:29

Nose job - lump on bridge removed
Tooth veneers
Chemical peel and monthly treatments
Botox - every few months
Personal stylist
Personal trainer
A Cartier Ballon Bleu
Italian leather shoes

I would sound like a right stereotype with money.
