Nice surprise from the Taxman

I got a letter today to say I had overpaid my tax by £37.54p .....
..in 2009
A cheque is on its way, better late than never as they say .

Now I am wondering how to spend this vast sum of money, any suggestions

Wow .... 2009
That was quick work from the taxman.

I hope he paid you the going rate for the accrued interest .... spend it quick incase he wants it back

Morticia the cheque hasn't arrived yet, I am assured it will do so in the next two weeks so I am awaiting its arrival with bated breath

Even though it's really your own money back, it feels like free money ... I'd go for the lobster myself!

Get yourself a very good bottle of wine Meg and enjoy it as a victory, not many get anything back from that crowd.
