If you had £500 in John Lewis vouchers......
« on: 25 April 2013, 19:40:44 »
........ then what would you spend it on?

Genuine question, no poll, no hook, no admin/member divide.

Honest!   ;D

iPad tops my ( completely computer illiterate ) wife's list as a start point as one of her workmates got one recently and, in wife's eyes, she is now an enviable computer legend.

Already got a mahoosive telly and blueray/hifi doodah thanks to my previous employers pension lumpsum but other ideas welcomed.  :)

Oh, two dresses, a skirt or two, and the rest on shoes.  £500 at least blown instantly in J.Lewis.  I know because I have done it, and more in my time!! ::) ::) :D :D :D ;)

I would also add furniture, but once again my tastes are expensive, and even a small Nathan unit would wipe out the £500! ;D ;D ;D :y

PS Really you need £5,000 to do John Lewis justice :D :D :) :)

Depends what I needed, but it would go on a gadget.

Big TV, decent sound bar, iPad or towards something like Macbook/iMac  :)

Tried the skirt and blouse routine. Not giving up on a hard won beard of almost 30 years to satisfy my feminine side.

Already got the Nathan stuff!!   ;D

I always try to use John Lewis for electrical as they price match !

Always a good range and knowledgable staff and no commissioned sales man to pressure sell  ;)

I rarely drink coffee now for health reasons, and that includes decaf, and wifey happy with one or two a week so would be wasted money. Thanks for the input though!
