Tax rebate win!
I've ever had one before, it's properly exciting. I have no idea what to spend it on though.

What would you do with a surprise £600?

god i'd love to get a tax rebate.
everyone seems to be getting one but me though :(

sadly, i'd use some of it to pay off my credit card bill

I haven't had one either
I'm putting it down to only having had two proper jobs though - I guess if you don't move about, your tax is pretty straightforward?

It seems a sensible way to spend it, although a bit boring. Alright, if you had no debts how would you spend it?

Like a remote control helicopter but it has four rotors.
