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...)

I have compiled a list of things you could buy / waste your money on:

Game Boy Advance (get at least 2 of the following games:
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Bomberman Tournament

Beanie babies (they suck and they're a waste of money)

A PlayStation (see above note)

A Dreamcast (even though it's no longer in production, it's
still a brilliant console and you can't go far
wrong with Sonic Adventure 2, Quake 3 Arena and
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - and you can pick up
some great games at dirt cheap prices)

Corn Flakes (you could probably get over 50 boxes for under
100 quid)

Milk (for the Corn Flakes)

A pickaxe (in case you make the mistake of buying a PSOne)

I sincerly hope that this list has been of some use to you. I am now going to scratch myself in places you'd rather not know about.

Cheerio!
