    Well maybe a lot of people have that to spend on themselves, but I'm definately broke!

    I'd buy a radio for my car :)

    Are things that bad that we need to fantasise over having €100.
    I remember threads about what would you do if you won the lotto, I miss those celtic tiger days when our fantasies were better.

    I'd buy a new coat. You never need to justify the need for a good coat.

    Funnily enough, I did the other day. It was my birthday and Mother sent me €100.

    So I can tell you exactly what I did.
    Filled the car up with diesel and got the dog a new bed. Just about had enough left over for a pint.

    This shows us how you can do feck all with 100 euro. Brought the wife out for a night a number of weeks ago and cost the guts of 80+ euro :P

    Nowadays €50 will get you off, all in. Great if you can live with the guilt I guess.

    Probably put it towards a new fiddle, which in itself would cost about €300... Or just buy drugs.

    Funnily enough! My mum handed me €100 cash this evening, told me I've had a horrific couple of years and that I deserve a treat, and told me to go and get my hair and nails done.

    She's very lovely. :) I've no interest in getting my hair and nails done, but those are my orders, and I think I'll enjoy it!

    My mammy is lovely!

    I'd buy a good rated full sleeping bag and a transistor radio with a months supply of batteries and a dinner-box and give it to a fellow on the street tonight. Why not ?.

    LOL it won't cost near that. I've a friend who'll do it for well less that half that, my mum knows that, it's not like I could afford to go to a hairdresser or beautician! But it's been months since I've got my hair done, it's practically in dreadlocks at this stage. I literally can't brush it anymore, it needs something done. The rest of the money will go on bills, and food and nappies, and other essentials. But it's still really nice to have a little treat! :)

    Soon as your back was turned they'd be swapping the sleeping bag for another bag.... of drugs!!!!

    Better off buying the drugs for them yourself and cutting out the trip to North Face. ;)
