Want to cheer myself up...ideas?

[SunnyD]

I feel like I need a bit of a cheering-up at the moment, so being the materialistic kind of person that I am, I want to treat myself to something.

Admittedly last time this happened I ended up buying myself another car, so I might have to cap my budget at about £100.

All ideas considered!

Fire away...

Learn something new. Materialism is a temporary fix.

£100 worth of petrol and go for a drive to somewhere remote with empty roads, stop in for a pub lunch and if viable stay over somewhere and have just enough drink to give you that warm glow, do not get pissed, if you can take in a walk on a beach too, just bring a good jacket

Hope this helps.

You bring up a good point. But I'm very impatient.

Lessons in patience?

How long does that take?

I jsut treated myself to a samsung n210 netbook
original budget was £250, spent £300.
Waiting for it to arrive but am pretty excited about it.

i'd spend a £100 on the seinheiser g4ame headset...

Go to your nearest friendly airfield.... pay them some money and go for a trial flight in a plane/helicopter.... That will cost you less than £100.... the addiction which follows will ruin you!!

Just consider the futility of life, the meaninglessness of existence and relentless inevitability of your own doom.

Feel any better?

I'm in a similar position and was looking at hiring a Caterham for a day

Thankfully people have started to realise that it's just not funny any more.

That's good suggestion.
I looked into it too, but found days/times a bit restrictive, plus free miles mileage allowance a tad on the low side.
Need to up the budget a bit too.

I've just saved you £100 AICMFP

Darnit I got all excited at the thought of hooning around the Cotswolds for the day in something like that. That would definitely put a smile on my face.

Doesn't look like it'll be on budget though...

Did exactly that on New Years Eve. Drove to Aberystwyth, where I went to Uni about 10 years ago. It was freezing but I had the top down and there are some great roads. Got there and had a nice walk along the beach, looked round and soaked up some memories - had a bit of lunch and headed back. Blew away the cobwebs, a brilliant drive - and time to collect my thoughts.
