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

It would be nice if anyone who doesn’t need their Winter fuel payment donated it to charity, especially to the hospices who are currently struggling to survive!

If my DH did not decide to tell me, I would buy something nice for my DD

A really nice jumper……. my usual spend is about £25 - £35. So £100 will be a really nice treat for me.

I’d put it towards a ticket for a really good seat for the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden.

My £200 WFA goes towards a delivery of heating oil.

An unexpected £100 would cover the balance.

Maybe plants for my garden or some Clarins skin products.

Cruise dress that doesn’t come from eBay.

I don’t need anything but always fancied a trug. I usually carry the veg in by hand. Don’t know why I’ve never got around to buying one. Now, where’s that garden brochure…?

A new plant for my garden, delivered and already potted up so all I need to do is admire and enjoy looking at it. Probably a wisteria.

Yes. Woman after my own heart.

A trip to Rigby and Peller

A small stone bench to go outside my front door - for sitting on sometimes and chatting with passers-by, but mainly so I can do my laces up without kneeling down in my tiny hall.
It would be a real luxury item for me.
