...if you suddenly found yourself with a few quid?

I started a new job in October last year and I've just realised that they have been underpaying me. Now I've pointed it out, they're sorting it out and backdating it, so I will get a nice bundle of extra cash in my next pay packet. After tax, it should be around £1,000. Smile

No paying off the credit card or overdraft - that would be far too sensible and boring. Besides, it wouldn't make much of a dent in mine.

Well, another thread just got me looking at the Halfords website and I noticed that if I buy this:

https://washford.scene7.com/is/image/Washford/174714?$prod$

I get this free:

https://washford.scene7.com/is/image/Washford/400-174920?$prod$

So I might just have to get them at the weekend. Still leaves plenty left over - no doubt the wife will want a new handbag or something.

Hmm.

A Reliant Kitten (Estate/squareback model) for a project i have planned. Get it MOT'd and strip it of its engine and 'box.

A GSXR 1100, Even just the engine, exhaust, carbs and loom. Put that stuff into my 750 and use the 750 engine for the kitten.

Car lessons and test.

See where i'm going here? Very Happy

Yeah, I'd get a mint, too.

A big round dark chocolate one, with white fondant ... like them Bendicks Bittermints, only about 10' across and 3' deep. I could keep it in a paddling pool full of ice in the back garden, and then just nibble a little bit of it off each day.

Nibble a little my arse.

I'd give the ice a better chance of lasting.

Yes, there's a rich vein running from my snotter half way down my larynx. There are miners down there as I type, checking out if extraction is economically viable. If I don't sneeze first.

I just got £1800 and I'll be using it to fly out to Denver, then a 2 week coach tour of the Canyon lands, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Yellowstone National Park with Old Faithful and all sorts of other places round there. Then on the last day I'm going in a 6 seater plane ride along the Grand Canyon, then landing and changing to a helicopter for a flight into the canyon, then a boat ride along the Colorado river, back up top for a ranch BBQ and then the flight back to Vegas via the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. That'll be a couple of my dreams fulfilled.
