    i would go to the garage where my car is and pay towards getting it fixed.......still waiting to hear how much it is..........i need my freedom!

    same here, except it's my moped. i already know it needs a new exhaust so any extra money would have to go towards that.

    I would buy my husband a battery charger cos he keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on.......................about not having one and how he would like one but he darent spend the money and how it would save money and it just drives me mad.

    dinkylou i loved your answer.

    I would either put it towards another CC payment, put it into my bank to help towards the next lot of bills coming in or put it towards some garden fencing.

    Maybe spilt it three ways and do all of the above.

    I would say no but if she insisted and after checking & double checking that she was sure I think I would split mine like this:

    £10 to charity
    £25 in ISA
    £17 on a bottle of Havana Club (lynzpower, don't say anything this is
    hypothetical!! :rotfl: )
    £3 on some cola to go with it
    £5 credit on PAYG phone as I am always running out of credit!
    £30 into my account saving for trips away at end of year
    £10 on a cd/download or a comedy DVD

    Not that I gave it much though eh? lol

    I'd put it all in my car savings - then I'll reach my target quicker and start to save up for my next holiday. :D

    Let me help with this one...I had a facial with the stuff & its yuccy & didnt make my skin feel amazing if thats any help & while having scrub with diamonds may sounds great the net result is you have flecks of sparkel off your face so people keep saying ooo come here you'rve got something on your face which by the end of the day is REALLY annoying!!
    I'd buy a tub of creme de la mer. Never gonna get it any other way!

    If the little old lady really really wanted to give it to me, I'd probably be really boring and do a big shop and stock up for the month ahead.

    If I was DF then I wd put it in the holiday fund that I'm going to start in July 2007 when I am DF!! hee! hee!

    Thank you Martin and all the MSE army!!
