if someone gave you $250 right now ...

[Mrs. Shae]

what would you do with it ... if you had to spend it on yourself or for something for you?

[Darcy]

I'd spend most of the day at the spa. Having a massage, mani, pedi, and spend whatever leftover money on a nice, fun haircut and highlights. In all my 30 years, I've never had highlights. :shuffle:

Of course this would mean I wouldn't have to pay someone to watch the kids. :)

[Mandi]

Hmmm I'd probably spend it at Disneyland next week. Or on Xmas gifts. :scratch:

[Mrs. Shae]

i will admit that i chose that amount ... because i am trying to justify a new purse ...

i will be in SLC a week from Sunday ... and already checked that there is a store in the mall where i am having dinner on Monday night ...

that was my other choice ... and NO ... kid watching would be included :biggrin:

D-land would eat that up real quick ... btw .. have FUN ... sorry we again cannot hook up ...

[pam]

Hm, probably clothing or scrapbooking goodies (big surprise, huh? :lol: ). I feel like I wear the same ol' crap day in & day out. I would love some cute but comfy pairs of pants & shirts. Some new shoes would be nice, too. $250? I think I could use a little more :lol:

Cute purse, Lynn! Where/what is SLC?

[Trish]

clothes for me :biggrin:

[Mrs. Shae]

Cute purse, Lynn! Where/what is SLC?

Salt Lake City ... i am only gonna be there from Sunday evening until Tuesday evening .. but have been there soooooo many times ... i already know where i wanna go ... and this is a short trip for me ... so i could only pick two restaurants :bawl: ...

they are forecasting rain/snow for this Thursday ... and i hope they get more when i am there ... gotta have something to look forward to after computer training :yawn: ...

$250 in scrapbooking supplies :woo: ...

[Mrs. Shae]

Trish ... love the new profile pic ... but it's confusing me ... you have always been the fall/pumpkin profile pic :biggrin:

[pam]

That sounds like a nice trip even though it's short. I've never been there. I hope you get your weather & that it stays there (well, the rain since the snow aint gonna follow you home).

I could easily drop $250 on scrapbooking stuff. Without thinking. Probably not so good. :lol:

[Brandi]

It's a toss up between scrapbooking stuff and clothes for myself. Since I'm already planning on buying some new clothes, I'll go with the scrapbooking!

[Trish]

Trish ... love the new profile pic ... but it's confusing me ... you have always been the fall/pumpkin profile pic :biggrin:Thanks and I was way overdue for a new pic, since that last one was I think 2 years old :shuffle:

[Mrs. Shae]

Thanks and I was way overdue for a new pic, since that last one was I think 2 years old :shuffle:

mine's my *original* from the old, old board ... it is my DL pic from 07/00 :eek: ... i would gladly change it ... if i got anything i liked better :lol:

[Karri]

I'd love to say clothes, but I don't think $250 would get me all that far. But I'd certainly try.....
So yeah...clothes. I like clothes.

If I couldn't find enough sales to get enough for my dollah, I'd go for a Cricut (on sale, of course).

[Silke]

Shoes and some clothes........

[Bonnie]

I would probably get clothes or shoes.

[Julie]

I would spend it on some facial treatments. I have been watching too many makeover shows I think :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

I would probably pay for Lite & Easy for a few weeks. (the people that prepare your healthy cooked meals and deliver them to your door) just so I didn't have to worry about cooking my seperate meals for a few weeks.

[Alysia]

I would buy an Ipod.

[~LORI~]

I would buy some clothes and shoes for myself. A new purse would be nice too. :)

[Joan]

I'd take Pete out to dinner, god it has been so long since we've gone out by ourselves.

[Cami]

If I had to spend it on me, me, me, I'd get a purse and a coat. That's probably as much as I could get. I'd fit in some new tops if there was any left.

[mrs.knip]

Well since I am at a scrapbooking retreat right now, that is definetly where my money would go! A cricut would be awesome!!

[stass]

I would go to H&M for clothes or Target for spending spree!:woo:

[BonnieG]

I would probably buy clothes for myself instead of having my kids being the best dressed of the house!

[Sandy]

Clothes clothes and clothes for me. I am workin on getting this baby weight off so a lot of my clothes are not working so much right now....

[Lynn]

Two things immediately came to mind.
1- a night out with Keith, to a fabulous dinner and maybe a movie. A babysitter is worth it (we don't have one and we desperately need one!) to me!

2 - as silly as this sounds, I'd pay to have our bathtub reglazed. The old owners had a really bad faucet drip that ate away at the porcelain. It's just one of those things that bugs me everyday, KWIM?

[Melissa]

A stand mixer. I've been drooling over them for a few years now and I think I'm getting one for Christmas! :woo:

[Barb]

Clothes, shoes, maybe some new make-up.

[Bridget]

I'd spend it on some new cashmere sweaters from Land's End. I love theirs and I'm going to wear my old ones out at the rate I'm going!

[schwanda]

I desperately need pants that fit. Don't hate me but I'm now 3 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight (one plus to my otherwise sucky job!) and none of my pants stay up. Totally annoying!!!

Amanda

[Karri]

Bitch! Just kidding :kiss:

[schwanda]

Bitch! Just kidding :kiss:

Wait a sec.... You're the skinniest girl on OUAL and you're calling ME a bitch????? :lol:

Amanda

[stass]

Look out the skinny bitches are :catfight: :hide:

[Girlo]

:lol2: Skinny bitches......

Hmmmm.....I'm torn. I'd probably be inclined to put it toward a cc. :heee:

If I were forced to spend it, I'd either do something for our house....like a new tub-filler faucet for our bathroom. Or a night out in Seattle would be cool - a nice dinner and a show....with a babysitter. New clothes would be nice....but it'll be a while before I could wear them. :lol:

[Mandi]

Look out the skinny bitches are :catfight: :hide:

:giggle:

It could be a lot of fun to watch the skinny bitches fight it out. :popcorn:

[Silke]

I would go to H&M for clothes or Target for spending spree!:woo:
I love H&M. I just wish'd ours had a kids department, too.

[Bev]

None of this for the house crap! :nono: It's for YOU.

So I'm spending mine on clothes, shoes/boots and a new purse. Shoot! I need more money! :lol:

Lynn, you just drop Aaron off any time! :)

[Hilary]

I'd buy some shoes. I want about 5 pairs. :lol: Working in a shoe store is a bad thing!

[Alysia]

:lol2: Skinny bitches......

Hmmmm.....I'm torn. I'd probably be inclined to put it toward a cc. :heee:

You know my door is always open if you guys want to go to Seattle for a night out! :awink:

[stass]

I love H&M. I just wish'd ours had a kids department, too.

:nod: Me too. But we just got ours this spring so. :crossfing

[Bev]

Stacey, the one in Windsor has a kids dept I think.

[stass]

Bev I didn't even know there was one there! Is it @ devonshire?

[Stacey]

I'd pay for my mom to fly in for a few days. Then I'd use the rest toward a cleaning service so I wouldn't have to clean the house. (Flights from New Orleans to here aren't too pricy usually.)

[Bev]

Bev I didn't even know there was one there! Is it @ devonshire?
Yep, it's new it opened up in mid October. It is on the branch off part leading to The Bay, same aisle thingy as The Children's Place but more to the centre of the mall, KWIM?

[Michal]

I think I would want to use the money to put towards a sewing machine. I don't sew, but I'd like to start.

[Mrs. Shae]

I think I would want to use the money to put towards a sewing machine. I don't sew, but I'd like to start.

mine broke ... and i think that hubby would like me to get one ... i learned to sew at an early age ... i enjoy it ... i just need to find the time ...

:secret: i caught hubby at a moment of weekness earlier ... and asked if i could buy a new purse :woo: and got a :up:

[Silke]

I think I would want to use the money to put towards a sewing machine. I don't sew, but I'd like to start. Just watch it...it can be addictive and frustrating at the same time :lol: I wish, I had more time to sew.
If you ever buy one, just don't buy a Singer. I can't believe, I just said that as a German :lol:

[Stacey]

What's wrong with Singers? :scan:

[MrsPeacefrog]

:secret: i caught hubby at a moment of weekness earlier ... and asked if i could buy a new purse :woo: and got a :up:l

:brow: Moment of weakness huh :giggle: Works everytime! :awink:

[Silke]

What's wrong with Singers? :scan:
The quality is not what is used to be on the newer machines.

[Mrs. Shae]

l

:brow: Moment of weakness huh :giggle: Works everytime! :awink:

:nod: yup ... i picked the *right* time :lol:

[stass]

Yep, it's new it opened up in mid October. It is on the branch off part leading to The Bay, same aisle thingy as The Children's Place but more to the centre of the mall, KWIM?
Yes I know where that is...

:bolt:

[Stacey]

The quality is not what is used to be on the newer machines.
Well, that's interesting. Which are the best these days? I'm not in the market for one. I'm just curious.

I have a Singer that we bought around 2001 or 2002. So far, I don't have any big problems with it, thankfully.

[Karri]

oooh. I would love to put money towards taking lessons in learning how to sew and a sewing machine. My first project would be making roman shades.

someday. This is my plan when the kids are in school.

[bunybomb]

I'm so boring but we need a new dryer, so that $250 would come in handy.

[Michal]

Just watch it...it can be addictive and frustrating at the same time :lol: I wish, I had more time to sew.
If you ever buy one, just don't buy a Singer. I can't believe, I just said that as a German :lol:

Do you know about sewing machines? I am interested in a Pfaff, my mom has had one for more than 25 years and never had a problem with it. Do know anything about them?

[schwanda]

I would LOVE to learn how to sew. And knit. One of these days I'll have time for my own activities. At least that's what I tell myself.

Amanda

[Missy&Maggie]

I would get a nice massage at a local spa. Van gave me one for my birthday that was heavenly. The rest would go towards an evening out with my husband, dinner and maybe a movie!

[LISA]

I'm in desperate need of a haircut, streaks, mani and pedicure..that should put a serious dent in that $250 :nod:

[Clare]

Same as Lisa. I'd have my hair done, cut and coloured and a manicure. I might even have enough left over for a massage.

[Jayne]

I would love to think I could spend it on myself but I am still carrying around a 50$ bill that I got for my birthday. DH says I "HAVE" to spend it on myself but I just don't know how. Sad...I know.

[Mrs. Shae]

I wish I had your problem :hug99: I hope that you are feeling better soon.

[MrsPeacefrog]

:giggle: Yeah well, I saw it as my good deed for the day :heee:

Feel better soon.

[Mrs. Shae]

:hug99: hope you feel better soon Jayne!

[Nichole]

Hm... I'd say either clothes and shoes or maybe a weekend in a really nice hotel all by myself where I could order in room service and a masseuse and sleep to my heart's content with no interruptions. Yes, definitely that. :nod:

[schwanda]

I have been begging for a weekend alone in a hotel. My husband doesn't get it at all!

[Karri]

I like Deb's list, but if you want some more concrete ideas, I am glad to help. You can stick it in an envelope and mail it to Karri T...... :lol:

but seriously.... how about a nice haircut? pedicure? massage? facial? shoes? purse? wallet? really nice scarf and hat? winter boots? perfume? good makeup? jewlery?
i could go on and on :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

and on and on and on and on and on

[Bev]

Ad nauseum. :lol:

[Bev]

Oh no! I mean ad infinitum! :)

[MrsPeacefrog]

I mean ad idiosum

:giggle:

[Silke]

Oh....excuse me but I must be in the wrong class.....this is not Latin 101? :lol:
