What would you treat yourself to if you had a spare £100 to buy yourself something nice? A nice sweater, perfume or something else?

Estèe Lauder 'White Linen' perfume. Knocks Chanel no 5 into a cocked hat.

I read this thread and stopped dithering. I have actually pressed the button an some perfume, I had a mini trial spray and several people said how lovely it was and I loved it

The remainder? I will spend that on a couple of prime videos to watch over the Christmas break

Was that Mui Mui ( or Miu Miu) Karmalady?
I would buy perfume and a couple of books if there was money left over.

If you’re thinking of treating us all, then thanks in advance 🤭

Earrings or another ear piercing or a tattoo

There's a Botany book that I'd really like .
I think that it's about £60 plus postage .

La vie est belle and best price was at boots, a black friday deal

I'd use it to pay for a terrific lunch out with friends. I love the feelgood factor of having a laugh with old friends and would prefer that to 'things' .

My "windfall" is my £200 WFA and I'm spending it on my Eurostar ticket for a weekend in Paris later this month.
Thank you Rachel from Accounts!

I’d treat myself to a Haws Warley Fall watering can, I’ve got a large one already, but I would love a smaller one for seedlings too, they are the best.

Charleygirl5 Wed 05-Nov-25 11:15:38

Oh dear, I don't need anything, I would bank mine! Andrew and Sarah note!

Yarn. I never have enough.

Probably me too. I’ve already got a massive stash, but stocking up never comes amiss. G I’d probably add a load of stuffing, I get through masses of that.

A really good meal out - a luxury level one.

We do have a "quality" restaurant nearby - which I've been to once as a treat (I treated a friend and myself) and I think the meal probably came to not far short of £150 (with her barely drinking - as she was driving). Wouldnt mind going there again.

Quality place...quality food....and they change the menu regularly (hates to go in somewhere and think "Right - avoid the meat to start with - as I don't eat that" and choose from the rest of the menu and it's the "same old same old" - as they just don't change the menu). I want variety/fashionable/good quality.
