I have £100 of Wiggle vouchers I got from my colleagues when I left my last job. What shall I buy. Surely I can't have everything already.
I have only two things to say to that; Bo***cks

    You know that you have everything when you buy a magnetic parts tray!

    How about these, they'll take up pretty much the whole voucher:

    You can buy me the pedals I want. That will leave £11 for yourself. :wink:

    Is there not something they do that you've thought 'I'd love that if it wasn't so damned expensive'? Not meaning a whole new bike or group set but even something like a top of the range rear mech or new Assos clothing that you will need to add some money to but as they will effectively be £100 off would make them a bargain.

    This is the sort of thing I try to figure out when buy presents for others and it always goes down well with them so why not have the same thought when buying for yourself.
