I was very generously given a $1000 ikea voucher today. Do I wait until I need something specific before spending it and risk it expiring, or just slowly start buying crap now? I do want to upgrade some furniture items, but I'm also hoping to move soon so ideally I'd wait until then, but that might not even happen.

Yes, a very first world problem, but my whole life is a series of first world problems...

How long til expiration date? I would stick it on the fridge so I wouldn't forget about it and wait til I have moved, if time allows it.. Lucky you, getting a gift voucher with that amount! My gift vouchers are usually $50 ha![DOUBLEPOST=1425195211][/DOUBLEPOST]Ooh celeb get me out of here is on
 
I still laugh that Christians didn't realise for many years that they had massacred Dodos extinct, thinking that God was providing an endless supply for them. It didn't occur to them that if you kill the last breeding pair, that there would be no more. I presume God had a sneaky door to keep filling the world with.

Yeah, it's pretty generous, don't worry I normally only get $50. It's from my grandparents as a belated gift, but I think they got it in exchange for spending a shitload in store or something, so they didn't exactly drop some huge amount on me. I'm still really grateful none the less.

It doesn't seem to have an expiry date, so that'd be awesome if that's the case. Just got to make sure I don't lose it.

We are a belligerent and careless species, Witty. We can't blame any religion for our very nature, but we can choose as individuals to rise above it.

If you could have a $1000 gift voucher to spend at any one particular store you want, what store would that be?

Well I also received a $150 voucher for Priceline today, maybe $1000 to spend there would complete my life. Westfield? Myer? If I'm going Myer maybe I'd prefer Coles and just buy $1000 worth of food and alcohol.

Sensible choices.

I would probably spend it at JB Hi-Fi, or at a fluffy kitten, pupy dog, and bunny rabbit store. And at the fluffy store I would be like "Why hello there Mr Flufflyuffykins, who is a fluffy puppy? You are! You are!" Then I would rub the fluffy puppy's belly.

Oh a voucher for a baby animal store would be amazing. I am getting pretty desperate for a kitten and/or a bunny. I'll even accept a puppy.

I also see vouchers for injectable places, but maybe that's not the place to be frugal.

Haha ok it wasn't meant to be, but yes I suppose it kind of is!

My dad made me swear on the lives of my mother AND my cat that I will never get any cosmetic surgery overseas, especially in developing countries like Thailand. But he never said anything about injectables or veneers, and I am pretty keen on the latter.

Sadly, I have many injectible places. I also have puppies!

I am about to go and see a new dermo soon. I think I'd prefer to just stick with the nurse at the beautician, but once again, my mean dad has guilted me into the specialist doctors!

Edit: literal puppies or metaphorical? Both are cool.
