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 put it towards having my colours done. Always fancied doing that, but I believe it's quite expensive, so a bit of an extravagance. (Don't know how much it costs, to be honest)!?

I thought of a wig but not sure if it would be comfortable.
GabriellaG makes me laugh at times. It takes all sorts.....

Jomarie Premier Inn sounds good!

A complete indulgence for me would be a wig! I have fine hair and wish it were thicker.
Could I even get one for £100? Going to waste time (easily done!) and Google what’s out there as I’m curious now!

I find it hard to duck the issue of comments that appear spiteful. Even when a poster claims they are 'just kidding' ..it really gets my goat.

I had a £100 gift voucher so yesterday treated myself to a cashmere cardigan from Peter Jones - a mere £89 so have some change.

Had a brief mooch around Brora beforehand where a hot water bottle cover cost £109!

Ha, ha (or groan) at the agricultural puns!
But I am not easily cowed, even when what I read could be construed as a load of bull.

I don't know.
It stresses me trying to think of something.
I got £50 for Christmas, and bought 4 nighties, some cauliflower seeds, and I've still got about 39 quid left! smile
I'm not good at extravagance.

I have a very painful knee that needs a course of PT, I'd spend a £100 getting a couple of treatments

Whatever anyone else posts in regard to the above, no responses will be forthcoming. Have fun. You're all rather silly.

GabriellaG54 Sun 20-Jan-19 23:30:45

You on the bandwagon too MawBroon ?
I thought ewe were a cut above following the herd.
Still, why not tread in someone else's footsteps instead of ploughing your own furrow. It's a lot easier and, I suppose makes you more popular.
The three words I wrote have become a stick with which at least three of you want to whack me.
Carry on. If it gives you pleasure that's fine by me. There's no accounting for taste.

I don’t think it is necessarily within the remit ofGNHQ in their role as moderators to rule on sheer bad manners and snobbery. However, if you are unaware of simple good manners GabriellaG don’t be surprised if others remark on it.
“So passé” could have straight from an episode of “Keeping Up Appearances”
Talking of TV programmes, have you ever thought of applying to appear on “Who Do You Think You Are?”

A bottle of Chanel Coco.

Some new fence panels so I can make the cat run bigger!

Jomarie Sun 20-Jan-19 22:03:21

Yes Ma'm Thank you Ma'm.
I'm going to bed now....... grin

GabriellaG54 Sun 20-Jan-19 21:53:48

You might like to take your own advice JA.
When you are one of the official site moderators, I will take note. Until then, no chance.

janeainsworth Sun 20-Jan-19 21:49:04

As you were jomariesmile

janeainsworth Sun 20-Jan-19 21:48:14

gabriella I’m not impressed by your faux indignation.
Your comment directed at Millie was unkind, in my opinion. It was not a ‘light’ remark, it was deliberately unpleasant.
Robust debate on the political threads where differences of opinion are inevitable and to be welcomed is one thing, but on the Chat forum, really if you can’t think of anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Jomarie Sun 20-Jan-19 21:46:26

Oops - seem to have posted in the middle of a "something or other" whereas I was innocently responding to the OP -
PECS' definition of snobby is spot on imho smile

PECS Sun 20-Jan-19 21:41:11

In my opinion being snobby is a either a sign of insecurities or unkindness. Either way not really necessary.

Jomarie Sun 20-Jan-19 21:33:35

I would spend it on a one night stay at my local Premier Inn so that I can have an indulgent night to myself having a bath and watching tv on my own knowing that no-one will bother me and the dog will be at home with OH so no need to walk him!!! It should cost about £80 if I choose my time carefully so £20 for a chinese meal and a bottle of plonk toboot - bliss. The bath is what I am after having relinquished this at home in favour of a power shower. Fine for most of the time but I do still want a bath once in a blue moon. confused

GabriellaG54 Sun 20-Jan-19 21:31:44

...and it's not compulsory or necessary to criticise my post but that didn't stop you.

GabriellaG54 Sun 20-Jan-19 21:29:22

Kinder? kinder? To whom.
Can I not say something which disagrees with your way of thinking janeainsworth ?
Is everyone on here so sensitive that one cannot express a light remark about someone's choice?
Anyway, it had/has nothing to do with you and I have no intention of shutting up. MYOB.

I used to like Radley bags, but find that the corners get really scuffed and scratched because they don’t have metal feet. Am looking for a new favourite brand - any suggestions?
