Your fantasy budget buster

Just a bit of fun & a chance to dream.

All of you are very good at finding an MSE way of getting your bits & bobs together.
However, if you could have just one thing where you blow the budget, what would it be?

It can be a guilty pleasure or a generous gift to your guests

Free booze? A vera Wang? Expensive jewellery? Designer shoes? Honeymoon? etc

I'll start off - I'd blow it on some crystal encrusted shoes - designer made so my feet wouldn't suffer.

    Free drinks and a buffet in the evening.

    A local band that cost £1000 but they are really good. I can get one for £500 and they are good but not as good.
