Got myself £200 in birthday cash from family today. I haven't treated myself to anything nice at all this year as all the money we've had has gone into building works on our house.

But the wife has said I can spend it on anything I want as long as its not boring DIY stuff so i'm looking for inspiration. I'm off shopping this afternoon (there is a lego store - i've very recently started to get into lego) so any thoughts or inspiration welcome.

I think you've answered your own question there.

Lego Hookers.

Yes Campaign flags are going cheap

I have a great lego stormtrooper allegedly bought for the daughter, I think £200 on lego would be excessive though ! Nice Gortex bike top, party shirt ?

Does it need to be bike related?

Nice pair of shoes? A pair of Loake 1880 Strand will last for a long time and look top notch as well?

A watch? You could get a nice Tissot for that kind of money.

A night away somewhere? With or without family.

A proper posh meal? A taster menu for 2 at some Michelin starred places would just come in under that.

3-star not even lunch
2-star. On a special offer. Otherwise, yes if you drink water (which would be a waste) !
1-star definitely
