Ours will be going into savings to help when we are on a single income again when bubba comes. To be honest we'll probably be spending a little bit on buying Olivia a big girl bed in a few months.
If we got it I'd use it for what it was intended, to boost the economy. We are all struggling, and its not going to get any better if we don't help the economy too. So for me its either yeah sure blow $1000 like is wanted, or put it in savings and then struggle for twice as long as the recession continues? I dunno I've always been a bigger picture person.
We are getting our car serviced, safety checked and probably need new tyres as we are driving up to Coffs Harbour after xmas, we will pay whatever bills we have and the rest will going into savings....will come in handy when rego is due later in the year.
Hmmm... I'm paying off the rest of dh's Xmas pressie and not sure what i will do with other $800. It will probably just get spread out over Xmas- travel, bills, etc. Juts be nice not to have scrimp on everything and live like we used to, pre-baby, for a month or so
I'm with Niliac on this one- it's a big picture thing. And this is the only time in my life I won't feel guilty about spending $1000 instead of saving it!!
I haven't had glasses for 18 months, so a pair of them will be nice although it will on the bottom of the priority list.
1/4 of rates payment
clearing the last of my cc that is killing me in interest
clothes for the kids
new school uniform for DD1
VCE books
rego for one of my cars to be sold early next year
Xmas pressies
Sorry KRudd, I'm loving you for the $$$ but its a matter of survival for my little family right now....
hubby is talking a big plasma tv (so we can hand back our rental tv and save $10 a week)
and i want a new couch! (so the rest will go towards that) it will be nice to have more than just a 2 seater to sit on here... i'm sure our DD will appreciate not having to sit on her lil kiddy couch that she is quickly outgrowing....
We're buying a Wii as a family Christmas gift (really more for me lol)
Im also getting a GHD hair Straightener and DH is getting a flat/wide screen monitor for his computer as his is crapola. The rest.. not sure.. prob to our loan.
why doesn't everyone with kids get it?? i hope i get it. I saw on today tonight they were asking ppl what they were spending the 1000 on. Alot were saying maybe jewellery, clothes. i thought if ppl say things like that we will never get it again because they government will think we'll use it for the wrong reasons. The ppl that use it for the right reasons miss out then. It's sad if ppl use it on drugs and alcohol. What can you do. We can only make the most of it when we get. If i get it it will go towards bills and xmas presents
I have no idea what I'm spending the money on. We don't need a new tv, washing machine or anything as they're all new.
Maybe I should spend it on paint and stuff to start renovating our house??
