Imagination now needed.
Imagine you have £100 to buy yourself a Christmas present.

What would be your choice, the perfect gift for you?
I am unsure of my answer but I know it's not household items or clothes.

What would you give yourself?

A pamper session that includes a massage - absolute bliss !

I'd have a flying lesson smile. I bought one for a friend a few years ago and they loved it. It lasts about 40 minutes, they do some explaining and you get to fly the plane for a little while in the air.

Train fare to go north and visit my old school friend in Cumbria!

OOooh! What a loa of choices - trees/plants? Boots/shoes? New glasses (my corrections are hideously expensive)? Can't make my mind up.

At a really good hairdresser - a restyle, colour and treatment would be a wonderful treat.

Oops! That would come to more than £100.
My last restyle colour and blow out was £125 in a good local independent salon.

I have just got back in to walking/hiking so would definitely invest in some walking equipment - a lovely Paramo Jacket is on my wishlist!

Do you have a senior railcard? (£30)
You can buy a heavily discounted or free railcard using Tesco points.

I bought a new large Balenciaga silk scarf on eBay for £18 but have never worn it. It's a peacock pattern in russet and cream tones. I'm putting it on eBay as I've no idea why I bought it as I'm not a scarf wearer.

Afternoon Tea in an exclusive place with my Daughter, she deserves it.

moggie57 Sun 20-Jan-19 12:57:12

i would give myself a weekend at a health spa,..

sarahellenwhitney Sun 20-Jan-19 13:09:33

Put it towards a new car.

Blinko Sun 20-Jan-19 13:40:36

I would put it towards getting my colours done.

A day’s guided fishing on a particular Derbyshire river, which would be a swan song for me as I am giving up river fishing after this year.

Put it towards a holiday.

Definitely a DNA kit from Ancestry. I wanted it for my 70th birthday but DH thought it was a waste of money. ?

Katyj Sun 20-Jan-19 15:11:45

Yes thirdinline, I went on the course last week, it cost 84 pound .Some useful info.It has made me very aware of my speed, but also made me a bit more nervous which can't be a good thing. Good luck with yours.

Katyj Sun 20-Jan-19 15:15:38

Thanks jenni I'll have a look flowers

Perfume. Coco Chanel.

rafichagran Sun 20-Jan-19 16:12:09

Coco Chanel for me also.

I think I'd go to a fancy hairdresser and get them to update my style, if there was anything left over maybe a pair of fancy earrings or books or flowers.

Tillybelle Sun 20-Jan-19 17:44:14

Alima Me too!

Tillybelle Sun 20-Jan-19 17:45:57

gillyknits. Does it cost £100? I had one when they first came out and didn't use it till a couple of years ago. The results were s boring I have forgotten them!!
