I'm going to treat Mr Chiquita to say thanks for helping me out when I needed it (I'm going to see how much I have by the end of this year and get him something fab )

A bit of a treat for me I think - either a meal out with hubby or some clothes. Haven't decided yet.

Oooh, I don't know! I can't decide at all, keep changing my mind!

Someone (sorry, can't remember who) suggested some new clothes which I could do with, be nice to treat myself, but lately I'm managing ok for clothes on my budget. And then I think maybe some spending money for my holiday (going with parents, they are paying bless them) but I don't normally spend much on holiday. And then I can't decide at what level to spend it, just wanna keep seeing it grow!

The trouble is I'm so used to resisting temptation that now I feel guilty if I indulge. And I'm well aware its not "free" money from somewhere, its just a fun and relatively painfree way of saving. I've really got into the thing of taking pleasure from savings rather than the things that I could have bought with the money, IYSWIM?

Anyway, I think I will just leave it and one day the right thing will come along and I will know what to spend it on - might be next week, might be in a few years :rotfl:

I've put mine into a savings account (separate one all of its own!) so that I can see the interest I earn on it and add it to my sig, probably just pennies so far though! :rotfl:

Hello,

I keep changing my mind too!

*Option one - interior decorating for house. Moved in six months ago and rapidly ran out of cash to do it up (pre lightbulb). Would love a new front door, new bathroom flooring, tiles for kitchen floor etc etc

*Option two - clothes and shoes - tearing around in old clothes and shoes just now and they are just NOT COMFY! Esp. £10 shoes from Primark worn through are all I've got for work!

*Option three - day out to Blair Drummond safari park for OH's birthday in July. He's obsessed by primates

*Option four - as Kathfisch says, keep saving them. I love the fact I've got money I SAVED and I just love the look and feel of £2 coins! I've not been very sensible and saved them in a bank - but I've not dipped into them or spent even one yet!

As tempted as I am to treat myself, at this moment in time I'm planning to pay it towards my student loan, but ask me again in a few weeks...!

Well I'm not decided, I'd like to go to Alton Towers but I'm gonna wait til I can find a deal! Not really sure, I suppose I could just save it?!

I am going to use mine for an overnight stay at a 'Spa' place, have a few pampering treatements and give myself some TLC! Mind you, I'm supposed to be losing a stone at least before I deserve this treat. Hoping to have it all sorted (ie weight and ££££)so I can go in October.

I'm thinking of a pampering day at a health spa. At the rate I'm getting them, its more likely to be a face pack @ home :eek:

I think that I'll be very careful when I've saved enough as they are few and far between. What I'm trying to say, I think, is that it is easier to spend than to save!

put towards paying debts off unless I have paid them off already by the time my pot is full in which case I will go out and blow it all on the stuff I have not bought for the time I have been in debt
