I am going to give you all a "Virtual" £500 to spend, how will "you" spend it?

I did that frida when we heard they were going to phase out bulbs we bought a shipping order and packed then in the attic. I could probably keep a small town in bulbs

Nah, that was back in the day, all very acceptable now as a career path! Now I think of it, I'm not sure who they save now - but they do very, very nice things for people fallen on hard times.

I would buy loads of lamps and lightbulbs, these energy saving bulbs we have to use are rubbish, it's like living in a cave.

Smoluski...VERY funny!

nanban the Sally Army save wicked women ...do you think they would save one forpete

Pete ...it would go a little way towards settling your bar bill at Lil's

Thanks....It will be put to good use.....

Books - there are several I 'need'

Give it to the Sally Army where it'll do more good than I can

A short special interest break somewhere, by myself.

hello Blue Sky that is lovely

Would give it to my favourite children's charity: what I don't have I don't miss, and I would be really pleased to be able to do this.

Kitty , oh yes , it is fabulous isn"t it .

We live at Ipswich , which is about 20 miles away.

Mind you haven"t been there in such a long time .

Mishap yes I think we know where your coming from..like you say we are all very caring gransnetters and not very good at treating ourselves...
and like me most prob feel guilty spending on ourselves.(as I ahve just doen this morning by buying a remote control for my camara at £19-00) when I havn't bought my GS anything for a few weeks ! (although did take him and myself to see Madagasca 3 in 3D ) the other week and ws brill!!

but! it is just a little virtual dream and we all deserve a little "Virtual" now and then lol..

mishap if the money were to go to the most deserving GNetter, you'd be right up there! You need a bit of pampering!Make a New Year's resolution - "I will not come last on every list, when goodies are being given out"

Do you know, I am wracking my brains and find this almost impossible! The idea of blowing £500 on myself is such an alien concept - all I can think of are things my family need! I am not a vitruous person at all and this makes me realise how my brain has been so attuned to a "caring" role for decades (as mother, carer to OH and SW) that I find it hard to step outside this.

More thinking........I guess I would book a nice cottage by the sea for a week!

number has DH paid you to spy on me ? shan't say how much the bag costs in case it incriminates me

lol @ number

Towards, Harrigran? How much do your handbags cost?
