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?

I'd buy a slew of This Works deep sleep spray (it really does work) and their In Transit Camera Close-Up primer.
Also, original Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil in 'fair', Keihl's Ultra Facial Moisuriser SPF 30 and Bare Minerals Prime Time foundation primer. L'Oreal Serie Expert Vitamino colour masque.
Mind you, I could only choose 4-5 max as they're all over £18 for a decent size.

Were grr, not we’re

I’m sure I’m stating the obvious here saying that books can be borrowed free from the library too! Katyj I got caught speeding before Christmas too and am off on a Speed Awareness Course on Wednesday. It cost £90, but I consider it money better spent than on a fine because I don’t get points on my licence or increased insurance premiums for the next 5 years. I also hope to learn useful information. We’re you offered this option?

I’d spend £100 on a cookery course.

I asked for a scarf, was given £100 but have never spent that much on a scarf in my life so it is still sitting there.

Perhaps perfume and a scarf.

Have you ever tried the local library Nikki they often let you create a tree on Ancestry for free and then you can research and save it all on word, print it out and follow up at home

Lots of us book lovers on Gransnet, I read that the popularity of e-readers was waning and books regaining favour. It's books for me all the way,

callgirl1 Sat 19-Jan-19 23:00:08

A lesson on how to apply make-up-------properly. If anything left, a nice perfume.

henetha Sat 19-Jan-19 10:21:00

A DNA kit to find out where my ancestors came from.
And a nice quality face cream.

Anniebach Sat 19-Jan-19 10:03:06

harrigran Sat 19-Jan-19 09:57:12

Grammaretto Sat 19-Jan-19 09:30:20

Oh dear this is all in the imagination!!

Humbertbear Sat 19-Jan-19 09:21:38

Normally I would say air of earrings but feeling the way I do at the moment, I’d say a spa day. A chance to get away from it all.
