What should I do/buy to treat myself?

flash1080

I've been working my balls off for a work deadline. What should I do or buy to reward my efforts? Willing to spend up to a few hundred yoyos.

Go away somewhere for a weekend?
Buy some sort of gadget?
Go for a round of golf?
Snort cocaine off a prostitute's tits?
Go to a casino and put a few hundred quid on black?

What would you do?

Mr.Crinklewood

New balls?

frozenfrozen

no point spending money to treat yourself if you don't know what you want. Save it until you want something, then say oh look ill buy it for myself as a treat

Ded_Zebra

Buy some sort of gadget.


Nothing better than a new gadget :cool:

Buy yourself a bunch of flowers, a bottle of wine, rent a girly film, put on mascara and have a good cry to yourself.

Snort cocaine off anything

I rarely want anything, I'm not really materialistic and am fairly frugal. Just have the urge to do something or buy something fun.

I have a holiday booked for the end of August, few days in Portugal and a few days back home in Ireland. I'd definitely consider going somewhere else as well though. Maybe a trip to Derry.

Actully i am changing my idea. If you dont want to buy something and already have holiday planed why not a parachute jump. Know there not that expensive. I am hoping to do one in galway sometime nextyear. i am student down there and will do it in group so hoping to get it for 180e ish. Will say you would deffently get it for less than 300e
Nothing beats jumping out of a plane when work gets you down

Or perhaps some happyness.

Did a jump in January. If I go again I'll do the training for the licence. Good idea though, I like "experience" days like that.

Go on a bender until all the money is gone.. even if it lasts weeks.

MistyCheese

Buy Boards.ie and sack all the mods!

Bye everybody, see you after my ban.

Buy some chocolate Mikados and a cup of coffee. Stick the money in the bank. Don't reinforce the idea that you need an expensive treat just because you met a deadline. There will be loads more deadlines if you're good. Having a nice wedge in the bank will give you the freedom to only meet the ones you want to meet. That's a proper treat.

I'm feckin all growed up all day every day, by night I become the caped Gobshite. I spent the day in a Pharma plant discussing mind numbing health and safety issues with a rich, arrogant frenchman:( My treat is posting shite that is hopefully somtimes vaguely amusing:)

Err, you're talking to a workaholic whose idea of fun is posting on boards in between doing the accounts/quotes/pricing jobs in a home office. My idea of time off is sleep. When I want a treat, I buy myself a car. I buy a lot of cars. Reasoning is, they're vaguely justifiable for work, I get bored really easily and I like cars. Get a nice car? Works for me anyway.:) I'm aware that sounds arrogant, but luckily, I like really cheap cars, so I just get a different pile of poo every few weeks and sell the other one. I take an inverse snobbery approach to cars-the worse the better.

I usually buy myself a handbag when I've done good. So buy a handbag. Am I playing this game right?

I've been half thinking about getting another car but I just bought my current one around 4-5 months ago. Wouldn't mind a MR2 or E46 coupe. I wasn't thinking of spending that much money though!

Buy one you can sell again for a small loss. Consider the loss the "I'm worth it cost":) An Mr2 will reasonably well hold it's value and is fairly re-sellable. It makes more sense than some gadget that you get sick of in a week or two and can't give away. Don't turn your cash into thrash. Buy somthing you will genuinely get a lot of long-term pleasure out of. Mr2 or a blow-up doll:D
