    Yeah, I'd have to go with spa treatments. New Look is my favourite shop in the world, and it's pretty cheap, so I wouldn't bother with clothes. I just bought loads of make up. So a massage, a facial, all that jazz.

    Hmmmm, €200....

    A trip to the hair dressers - you always feel fab straight out of the hair dressers.
    Nice lunch and a butlers white hot chocolate/ shakes milk shake for dessert! :rolleyes:
    Then off to the sales for a root with my full belly and fab hair to find a nice discounted piece for my already overflowing wardrobe! :D:D (I know it's not luxury, but man I love me a good sale!)

    I believe €200 could get me a cheap flight to maybe London, and a sort of nice hotel room and a nice dinner out and a good walk around the city.

    Even if its just one night, I'd love to get away :D

    If someone handed me 200 right now (it is my birthday on Monday in case you're still stuck. Take up a collection amongst yourselves I know there's a recession on!) I'd do the following:

    Hair cut & colour: 70
    CND Shellac Manicure: 20

    and then I'd either try and get a chemical peel (although I doubt 110 is enough for that) or just go to MAC and buy a few things.... mmm MAC....

    So many options...:rolleyes:

    1. I would try book a cheap holiday somewhere nice maybe just to England with my boyfriend to see his family.

    2. Shopping spree! :D Some clothes, new make up, accessories the works.

    3. Go for a nice meal with my boyfriend, see a movie go for a drink afterwards :D

    Petrol. :o

    Who am I kidding, it'd go towards my car repairs.

    Though if I really had a few hundred euro, Alan Ardiff would be a serious runner if I could genuinely just spend it on myself for fun, lovely things.

    I'd buy my favourite perfume - Coco Mademoiselle Chanel - which is stupidly expensive and then spend the leftovers on anime DVDs :D

    I'd get a subscription to Sky Sports. Actually €200 wouldn't get me a year. It probably wouldn't get me 6 months! But I'd have the luxury of watching the Heineken Cup matches from the comfort of my own home, and get the Ashes in too!

    A really nice meal in restaurant for myself, boyfriend, and another couple who are our best friends. I might possibly need to add another 50 euro though, not sure. Get all dressed up etc., and make a whole great night of it.

    I enjoy eating out faaar too much!:)

    I do something i have never done before.

    I'd probably add to the €200 myself and take a hot air balloon ride. Have always wanted to go up in one. Get lost in the air for a couple of hours.
