    Sooo I've been keeping by money from Christmas birthdays etc and have about 450 euro that somehow hasn't went on bills or the kids or whatever!

    So I've been thinking should I keep saving or is there some kinda 450 euro purchase missing from my life I don't yet know about!!??

    If you had it what would you do?

    Let's keep this light hearted life has to be enjoyed every once and a while surely!?

    Bring your other half out to a Michelin starred restaurant if you both like your food.

    A ride on mower,

    Even if you dont have grass you can just drive around neighbours gardens cutting theirs with a beer hat on of a Saturday.

    Grand fun

    You'll need at least double that for any TV worth buying.

    If you've not already got your eye on anything OP, just use it to light cigars

    Shanahan's on the Green and a few drinks somewhere afterwards would put a fair dint in it.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Tell the wife pack a bag for the 2 of us, bring the kids to MaccyD, then drop them at their granny for the night. Throw her a box of Ferreros and a bottle of plonk.

    Go back for wife and head to nice hotel and spa, some relaxation, nice meal and wine, and upstairs for a lovely night of unbroken sleep. Deep deep sleep, not broken by a child sitting on your head at 6am.


    Everyones a winner. Except granny.


    Although, that bear coat is pretty swag

    Haha everytime we actually get chance go somewhere together something goes wrong! One us is sick that day or she ends up hammered cause she can't drink anymore! Haha.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,943 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    Now I'm not too sure how betting works but from my limited understanding, go down the bookies and place all 450 on "a sure thing".....bish bash bosh, off to Japan.

    Not a fan of the smartwatchs to be honest I've looked into them before!

    I'd have no use for a laptop either I've been a desktop man for years! Ha

    Few sets I've been playing with the idea of getting. And then I'm like no, I'll get a Raspberry Pi. And then I move onto Puzzle boxes.

    Best thing to do is to sit tight. I'm good at waiting it out and seeing if I really want something.

    The 'whoooosh' is the Dyson sucking up your failed attempt at a joke.

    Hot cleaner. That's what you need. 450 would go a long way if you don't mind her being clothed ;)
