If you had 100 euro to spend on yourself, what would you buy/ do?

I'd book myself into a cheap hotel or guesthouse far from home but close to a scenic spot for two days of photography all by myself. No kids duty for 2 whole days !

Are you the lady I met an Inch beach early this year who was doing exactly that? lol!

Sad truth but the hostels do a sterling work with them. My family work in Canada with the homeless and their wisdom is never ever give them money as it will go on drugs. Candy is grand as addicts need the sugar ...and warm clothing etc. The best in the hard winters they have there is a bale of hay.

So now you're admitting that my light hearted comment is, in fact, the reality. Words fail indeed.

I'd probably buy 100 scratchcards.

I have a check from the national lottery to lodge into my account, it is €125 from matching 4 numbers in the Euromillions, 3 away from €116 million.
So 100 euro will keep me playing the lottery...I want more than €125, it is not what dreams are made of.

Funnily enough, I recently received an unexpected €110 refund, and am wondering what to do with it. I'm probably going to save it, but did consider donating €100 to Wikipedia.

Yes, into emergency accommodation with drug addicts sleeping beside them and banging up. This is the main reason why folk decide to sleep on the street in a safe area because the area inside this accommodation is not that safe at all.

Street life is not to be light hearted about my friend so I had no idea you were?? joking?? Yes most are addicts. And get help if we help them with dignity and caring.

I know. Canada is way ahead in that they have places for addicts and places that are safe from addicts. It needs someone very very strong in charge also. It can be done and is done in many countries and needs doing here.

Screw wikipedia, go to Dunnes or Pennys & buy a load of hats gloves & socks. Walk around the city giving them to genuine cases discretely. You'll feel a whole lot better for it for a whole lot longer.

I'd get my bass amp repaired. If I had enough left over I'd get a bottle of Tanqueray.

I've thought about this for some time. I'm never without spare cash and would often have 100 or more on me, but I struggle to think what I'd buy for myself if I really had to. I'm hard to buy for at the best of times, as I seem to have all my needs and live very simply really.

If my life depended on spending 100 on myself tomorrow I'd probably just buy a jacket or something like that.

I'd be more likely to just give you the cash if you were honest. I'm long past that old plamausing.

You have very average eyes. In fact, I can't really tell an average pair of eyes from an above average pair.

Not much you can do with €100... new clothes I guess?

100 euro?
In order right now.
1. Facial
2. Full body massage
3. Haircut

I'm good for everything else

I don't know, maybe perfume. I haven't picked my own perfume for years because someone always buys me some so I always have loads, all ones I like of course.

Next thing though I have in mind on my "plan of stuff to get that I don't really need" is a really nicely fitted pair of jeans.

smurfjed

Buy a nice bottle of Whiskey and some ice......

I absolutely love perfume. Now not just any perfume, fancy shmancy high end stuff that I can rarely afford. Soir De Lune by Sisley is an olfactory wonder! That's what's I'd spend a hundred quid on. Or you know, if anyone wants to purchase for me, I can PM them my details

Medusa22

A new hair dryer, mine is fecked. I could do with some new jewellery and cardigans, also need a new pair of boots and a jacket though, damn.

Use it to pay something off my credit card bill!

CelticRambler

I had a 15€-off-if-you-spend-100€ hypermarket voucher, valid today only, so I went shopping.

After two hours wandering up and down the aisles, I'd managed to get the bill to about 85, which included my NY's champagne and a new kettle. (Yet another) SD card that I don't really need but might come in handy took it to just over 90, and I just about made the rest up with ice cream.

But if I could get one of my wish-list camera lenses in the sales for 100, that's how I'd treat myself.

Cork Lass

I'm not normally indulgent when it comes to myself and would be more of a giver than a taker but once a year I have lunch with my siblings to celebrate our late parents (today is my fathers 4th anniversary). We go to a really nice restaurant and have a lovely (and very boozey) lunch. We did that today at a cost of over €100 each. It's a bit like the MasterCard thing - priceless.

Stheno

I'm lucky that there is often little I want, and if I do want it I can afford it.

For Christmas this year, my OH asked what I wanted and I literally couldn't think of anything.

Same with a work bonus where we got a one4all card for 500 euro, so far I've spent it on Christmas stuff for him and his kids.

I had a spare few quid tonight....
Brought my 2 youngest sons to watch the new Star Wars.... €30 tickets, €35 snacks, €25 go-go juice for the car.
Even the little treats are silly money these days.

I'm often thankful I don't have kids.

When I was a kid, my family were relatively poor, and for the likes of first communions and confirmations, we'd go for a meal out, or a trip to a shopping centre and be bought a special toy.

These days, that seems prohibitive, even going for a coffee, scone and juice with one adult and two kids would be twenty quid in a lot of places around Dublin.

I'd buy 100 €1 tuggies.

Hot towel shave, haircut, shoulder massage, fillet steak from the local craft butcher, bottle of Of Foam And Fury, and whatever's left over on Butlers chocolates. Now that'd be a nice way to spend the day.

See if I was asked what I'd spend a spare 100e on the oh on it would be like that.

Recently got up early, brought him breakfast in bed, then he shot off out for a rock massage, foot and head massage, and then we went for a nice dinner

GIve him 100e and he'd die before knowing what to do with it for me. I'm just a fussy bugger who has most if not all that they want.

I'd say I'd be safe enough, knowing my girlfriend's favourite wine and flowers! Afternoon tea somewhere nice first. Something with her favourite animal on it. Petrol money for going for a walk somewhere scenic.
I should bookmark this post for planning the next anniversary. :pac:

Now I'm no millionaire, but Jesus. Times are bad if you cant gather up €100.

Serious question... Can you get a decent watch for €100?
