YOU’RE A BUSY person. You work hard. You deserve a little ‘me time,’ right? We think so.

At the end of a stressful week, there’s nothing better than a little reward. The hard part, of course, is deciding what to do to really make it count.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a quiz to help you make a plan to treat yourself (without blowing your week’s budget). Here goes…

1. First up - how busy has your week been?

Ah, it wasn't the worst.
Busy at times.

It was a mad week and I'm WRECKED.
2. How much spare time do you have right now?

I'm free as a bird.
An hour or two, max.

I'll be lucky if I can squeeze a minute for myself, tbh.
3. Pick an image that appeals to you the most.

At an invite-only gig in a secret location. Ssshhh.
Finally getting around to all that ironing.
6. You've just been handed €1000. Where do you head first to spend it?
