On money

While we don't like the phrase "work-life balance" (see below) we are quite keen on the phrase "tax rebate". Hurray for the Inland Revenue!

The options are -

a. pay urgent bill
b. keep as a float so you are not broke all the time (but how long can it keep you afloat?)
c. buy boots that you have had your eye on for a while
d. go to the dentist
e. blow it on a weekend away
f. sign up to the gym/photography class

Hmm. a b or d seem like the wisest options, but quite tempted by the others. If I keep it as a float it will vanish quicker than snow in the sunshine, might as well do something concrete with it.

If it was unexpected then why not treat it as a bonus and spend it on what you want.

We don't get 'tax rebates' here. It doesn't matter how much you pay, they always keep it. Lose the info. at the tax office and so on.

Bleah. Pooey. And boo too.

Maybe a combination of the options is the best bet.

Boo indeed GG... it's not that usual over here though. They're pretty quick to chase you when you owe them, but not so good at giving it back.

I like your thinking, US.

Just thought of something even better than boots or bills though.
