MacBook - really don't need a laptop so it'd be a waste
Bank transfer - a bit of a waste of 15% of the greens' value

Computer - already got one
Amazon - already got loads of £££s on Amazon that I don't know what to spend on!

Thanks for the advice though! I really don't have a clue what I want..

lol ^

I would get the bank transfer ( I am sure you can negotiate!) and put it away in a savings bond or something, so when you are 18 /21 you can have a nice little nest egg, towards your first car (your own car, twocing doesnt count!)

Or a nice new shellsuit.

Donate them to me .ahem

Maybe get the ps3 and sell it, ?

Ey ey.. calm down calm down...

EDIT: Drat, Jade replied first... was meant as a reply to the_icks

You could try selling the vouchers... one of the sites i'm on usually sees vouchers going for 90% of retail.. so would be more cost effective than Bank Transfer.

But I think the_icks has made a good suggestion.. for one so young.. you are doing an amazing job (please don't take that the wrong way!) and you could earn yourself a few quid to put aside for the future.. when I was 18 I borrowed the money off of my nan for my first car... you could have the cash sitting there, waiting for you.

How much do you charge an hour on green-training

I think I need to book myself in for a few weeks worth!

ultimate1 · 13-04-08, 10:02 AM

Save up for university fees is also another good idea. BY ME!

You get the same amount of vouchers as you do bank transfer, so it'd be pointless getting vouchers and selling at 90%.

I've already been putting money away every so often towards university/car funds over the last year anyway. I think I'd rather treat myself with these greens

Ah hah.. I didn't realise that.

How about a custom order... suprise your parents/siblings... Weekend trip to London... show/meal/hotel..

(I can recommend Monty Python's Spamalot - I would say it's before your time.. but actually.. it's before my time too

I know what you might like.... just got into it myself. RC Helicopters. Look around for a Honey Bee FP. These are not toys! Its only £100 from Buzzflyer.co.uk though.

Or go for a nice hi-fi separates system. Even better, fancy taking up the guitar?

I quite like the idea of a speaker system etc. I don't have a clue about it but in the past I've just used my HDTV's speakers - might be a good idea to get some mounted in the corners of my room!

Parkdude · 13-04-08, 08:46 PM

You could keep it but I'd say just stick to your 360.

Most of the games come out on both. The 360 has better exclusive titles IMO also.

Use ur greens for something else or sell it.

Ooo you could get a really really nice set of Bose surround sound speakers (amplifier etc) for your TV/music. I drool every time i walk past the Bose shop
