Will go towards our yearly family trip away and my 40th birthday party which is looming large! LOL!

Rest (if any) will go on the home loan, or other home projects.

Anyone else feel theirs are smaller than last year?

Had a 250 bill last year, and getting 250 back this year. net gain after 2 years = 0 :(

Trip up Queensland, and some car bits. Hopefully new rims and other goodies. From what I have heard they are a little slow this year. Been just over the 4 weeks with mine.

Mr Brooksy I am so envious of you!!!

Harassed the credit card to go to AFF drag day and had a night out with plenty of cash advances, so it'll go on that. There will be around 200 left and I need to buy contact lenses, the ones I have are two weeks overdue, so that's a must. I usually get a good return, often over a Thousand, give or take a few hundred.

Depends if I ever get mine back. So much for 2 weeks :(

If I get it back, I am doing some little cosmetic mods. Nothing major.
