    Shouldn't you be considering putting some away in a tax free ISA and maybe buying up some tax years for your pension if you've missed some?

    Booooo, stop being sensible :wink:

    Surely the whole point is you should sack the lot on something entirely useless that you don't actually need ie another bike :lol::lol: , and then spend the rest of the year justifying your purchase to the other half when she brings it up at every available opportunity :evil: :evil:

    On the other hand I think I now know why I'm now single :roll: :wink:

    Well, I think when you're sitting there in your carbon fibre bath chair you'll think that was a wise choice as you scalp a lot of others on this forum in their rickety shopping trolleys with one wonky wheel.

    Go for the full package: white saddle, stem (FSA), bars (ditto), tape, hoods (Hudz). White outers for the cables would be cool too. 40mm+ carbon clinchers. .

    My current bike down to a tee!

    Blow it. I just had the same after being out of work. Nice Focus Cayo with SRAM Red winging itself to me at the mo.

    In answer to your original question - I would buy a very nice holiday

    Yes it would balance out the rather unpleasant last six months enforced holiday, mrs itboffin suggested Florida AGAIN :lol: little itboffin votes for Barbados AGAIN

    I might fix the ballot in favour of Ireland AGAIN :lol: in fact I could ride there :roll:

    How about one of these? I would pay good money to be able to do that...

    I would pay good money to watch ITB attempt to do that :twisted:

    Clearly I could be sensible and bank the cheque paying off some of my accumulated debts from the last six months or!!!! I could blow it on bikes & booze :lol:

    What to do?!? :roll:

    Save it, they will have made a mistake, and they'll want in back in spades after you've spent it, if you spend it. If you don't spend it they won't.
