I'm so excited. Checked my account this morning and was surprised to find an extra $1172/£675. A tax refund. Didn't think I would get any back this year.
I have never been good at accounting.

But who cares how they got there and why, I'm just going to spoil my self silly. I'm a poor student, so I really need to sweeten my life once in a while.

I'm thinking 2-3 jeans, 3-4 t-shirts, a blazer, shoes, 2 shirts and a sweater or two. A 60GB Ipod, a tripod for my video camera and an extra 1GB ram for my PB.

After getting all of this I might even have a bit left :D

Just wanted to share my fortune with you guys :)

Congrats! Live it up!

I'm getting back just shy of $6K this year; no this isn't a good thing. I screwed up some witholdings and Uncle Sam got an interest-free loan because of it. :mad:

At least I didn't have to pay $6K like I did three years ago. :(

Yeah, a Lacie HDD would be nice. Should get one of those too. But clothes comes first. I really, Really! need some new clothes.

Just learned how to play only 6 weeks ago. So no thanks, don't think it'll be profitable, for me that is ;)

Congrats! What a lovely surprise. Maybe it's worth putting a COUPLE of bucks away or into some kind of investment account - don't OVERspoil yourself. Okay, fine, I'd spend every penny. But I hope you're more responsible than I am. :p
