The bookies will give you grief. The ****** managers have all been on money laundering courses. Try it and see for yourself.

a savings account will give you more than you think, and its compound too, is a lot safer than keeping it in your house, AND hes gotta get rid of them/spend them at SOME point, so why not save them now?

And as for toolers...well imagine looking at them sort of amounts EVERYDAY/

The plan was to wait til christmas. Will have to go way before I think. Questions would be asked if I took them in 1 go. There has been a couple of times through the year where I have banked £500.

You're right, I don't need the money. The original plan was to get a nice big float for a S16. I'll probably use some of them to buy one :)
