If you got a surprise $100 right now

Or 50 quid/whatever..... let's say you find the biggest banknote available in your country blowing in the wind and you catch it. You try to turn it in to the police (good karma) and they are not interested. What do you do with it?

Medical bills. *sigh*

i started typing an answer a few hours but decided it was too boring... but if you insist
i would spend it on groceries and beer, unless i could be sure i could con at least that much more grocery/alcohol money outta my parents...
if I was SURE i had enough budget coming from them, which I never am because they've gotten very good at giving me just enough money to be almost comfortable without giving me enough to have Fun, if i was sure i could afford it and actually find someone reliable, i'd spend it on good ol' mary jane, but lately only one of those two conditions are ever met at a time.

Pay my parents back for Diz's vet bill.
I'll be paying them back anyway, but it would be marvellous to hand it over all at once.

I usually owe them approx £20 by the end of the month anyway (shopping or prescription or toiletries or something) so the extra £50 means it will have to come in installments.

Shoes for the possible upcoming interviews I may face

infinite monkey · 09-01-2012, 10:54 AM

Shoes for your face? Dude, you'll never get a job going in with shoes on your face!

Oh, I think I read that wrong.

Funny, I was thinking too, a damn pair of dressy casual comfortable freaking navy blue shoes for work. Not 8 inch spikes, thank you very much, I have to walk blocks. Not platforms that make you look like you had a chinese foot-binding. Just a nice comfortable wedge to wear with my navy blue pants.

You can't find them and if you do they cost way more than I want to pay for a pair of freaking shoes.

jimhelm · 09-01-2012, 11:29 AM

roll up it up and do lines with it.

nah, i'd just put it in my wallet for an emergency

Lola Bunny · 09-01-2012, 11:59 AM

I was gonna say pay my credit card bill but then I read UT's post. I do need new shoes and am in the process of looking for a pair. So, I would use half for buying shoes and the other half to pay the bill. I wear children size so yeah, my running shoes should only cost about $50 bucks.
