From an unhealthy desrie to buy stuff with notes, never coins, you can accumulate quite a lot of small change pretty quickly.

From an inability to be bothered to take said coins down to the bank you can end up with pretty large amounts of money in not too much time.

Hence in just a few months i now have 80 POUNDS (if you saw one of my other threads) sitting in those little bags the banks have.

Plan A - take it to the bank. No, i can get by with the money in the bank at the moment, i just budget to what i can afford, and if that included this money it'd just be chucked away without getting much out of it.

Plan B - hold onto it for christmas presents for people. Probably the sensible thing to do, but i don't see myself having the willpower. And i can always find money for christmas presents someplace else.

Plan C - blow it on something i don't need as such, but would like. This is more my kind of plan!


The point of this,
If you had the disposable income (lets top it up to 100 'POUNDS'), what would you do with it?

(I'm tempted towards GBA myself...)

Oh s***, what about the light?

Oh dear, i think you should complain to someone about that, clearly the building is sub-standard, and a water hazard!

Hmmm,
the breakfast sounded good, but literally one minute ago, while reading this, i noticed an odd noise, which i couldn't place. Further inspection indicates that i'll be too busy trying to get someone to fix the water dripping through the dodgy new crack in my ceiling.
And in the short term, i guess i'll be deciding whether to sleep with my head under the drip or on the radiator... or move my bed and sleep with my face or my feet in the damp bit of my matress.
And the dripping noise...

I could do that, but i like them when they are crunchy, there is something satisfying about munching through a crunchy cereal.
