Say you were given £10k to treat yourself, what would you buy?

[Fab Foodie]

I was pondering this question in the wee small hours.

I'd really like an IWC Pilots watch, circa 5k but I may save-up for my 60th. But something I've always hankered after is an Eames Chair and Ottoman:

...and pair of Transmission line speakers to listen to whilst in my chair. The kit I wanted is no longer available, so these will have to suffice:

Then all I'd need is time to enjoy then both :-)

What would you treat yourself too? Be selfish!

Absolutely no idea

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Two high class escorts and £2K of coke…

 

[potsy]

10k worth of premium bonds

 

[Arrowfoot]

£1500 - train ticket on the longest train journey from Portugal to Singapore - 21 days
£1000 - a proper compact camera such as Sony ZV1 to record the journey
£2000 - Mac Pro to record my journey, store and edits my photos
£2000 - to stay at Raffles Hotel and drink Singapore Sling at the end of the train journey
£2500 - fly back home on Singapore Airline business class and taste the legendary service
£1000 - spending money

I could do a long bike tour on 10k😊

Somebody once told me to spend money on experiences not "things". Pretty good advice in my book.

Do I have an example of the brand you'd like?

Lower class escorts represent more bang for your buck

I’d settle for one low class, a few cans of Diet Coke and a Fender custom shop bass.

stay at Raffles Hotel and drink Singapore Sling at the end of the train journey

We visited Raffles for afternoon tea and a Singapore Sling afterwards in the bar at the end of our Bangkok-Singapore journey on the Orient Express and I can’t tell you how underwhelming it was. The afternoon tea was a self-service buffet affair and overpriced. On the plus side, the waiter who showed us to our table was called Elvis.

If I had £10,000 to treat myself with, I’d probably get the dental work I want. I know, so exciting.

 

[Saluki]

I would get a secondhand Renault Kangoo or similar vehicle, fit a boot jump unit and take off for as long as possible, with the hounds with the rest of the money leftover.

 

[Cathryn]

I’d take my son out of school and travel. I’ve never ever regretted a penny spent travelling.

 

[Grant Fondo]

A new butler probably, so I could have the old one put down.

It wouldn't cost you that much unless its a massive house. A friend has just had his done in grey slate, it looks beautiful and it was just over 4K.
