1st Win - Magnum Pleasure Card

I had my first win today, a Magnum Pleasure Card for £20.
I'm really excited about it and have already told all my family.

What does anyone think I should spend it on? I don't want to fritter it on nothing in particular but neither do I want it to be something I'd buy anyway. So something nice for my holiday or house that I wouldn't be able to afford normally I think.

Did anyone else spend their first win or first cash win on anything special?

    It said on the Magnum site that it was accepted anywhere that took mastercard so I suppose so.

    Congratulations on your 1st win! I think some people had problems getting them accepted in certain stores, but I know they've been used on Amazon, and to buy John Lewis gift vouchers. I will probably do vouchers as I still have £50 left over from Big Snap :D That will give £270 to spend then, I might get a netbook for me :)
    2008 wins £4405 2009 wins £7194 2010 wins £9615

    Best wins ever: Laptop, £1000 John Lewis vouchers, PS3, Xbox 360 iPad Mini :beer:
