Ooooh, lovely!


I'd go for all-out indulgence and go for a day at the Sanctuary. Mr Pickle treated me last year for my birthday and it was absolutely brilliant, I sat reading my book, sipping a glass of champagne with my feet up and relaxed more than I have for years. I have another voucher to use (he sensed it was a success so I got the same this year!) and can't wait to use it.

don't try to fit too much i - I've done that and then got stressed which defeats the point. But maybe arrange a nice lunch for yourself somewhere, and take a good book/indulgent magazine?


I had a foot treatment and pedicure at the Elemis spa and it was amazing, they give you nice smoothies before and after and whole experience was lovely. more locally, Therapy is an excellent salon, have had some nice treatments there including a v v good massage.


If you went for Elemis, it's in that lovely bit of Mayfair, so you could browse some of the posh shops and then pop over to Selfridges.

Try to make sure you are out the house ALL DAY as you might start to think after half a day that you ought to do those chorey type things ( always happens to me-). Enjoy. Make yourself gorgeous all morning- nice lunch with small amount of alcohol- a little browse of shops later on..

I had a voucher for a Mum-to-be foot treatment at the Elemis spa and went there when 8 months pregnant, and was utterly disappointed - mainly because the massage was rubbish and very short. It is a very nice venue in Mayfaif and it felt nice being in there, but the treatment was supposed to be 60 min long and it only took about 20 min - the rest was smoothies and 'just being there', which wasn't really the main thing I went for.


I'd definitely go to the Sanctuary. and as womanofdulwich said, make sure you go out for the whole day, otherwise you might find yourself tidying the house or doing the washing etc. Enjoy!!!

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
