DUDE.

I RETURNED MY TAX THINGY TO THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I QUIT MY JOB A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE END OF THE TAX YEAR AND FIGURED THAT THEY PROBABLY OWED ME ABOUT £300.

SO THEY WERE PRANNITS AND I SPENT MONTHS CHASING THEM AND BEING TOLD I HAD TO FILL OUT DIFFERENT FORMS AND GETTING CONFUSED.

AND FINALLY, TODAY, I GET MY CHEQUE.

FOR £1,381. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY $2,700.

WTF?!

MONEY! ENDLESS MONEY!

I mean everything on looks...vaguely right (not that I really understand taxes) and basically it looks like they were taxing me at the wrong rate for eighteen months. o.O

But the point is, I just got nearly a grand and a half of FREE MONEY.

I'm torn between the desire to be responsible, use it to pay off 90% of my overdraft so I can go to S. Korea almost debt free (which would be nice since at part of the reason we were going to go there was to help get rid of lingering college debts), and the desire to take some of it and go SHOPPING. I'm not even a shopping-spree-a-holic. There's nothing I even want right now.

I just.

MONEY. THIS IS MORE MONEY THAN I'VE EVER BEEN GIVEN IN A CHEQUE BEFORE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED. *FLAIL*

An excellent point, that. Intangible goodies can be harder to arrange! I bet there could be travel-related shiny things, though.

(I downloaded your vid this morning but I can't watch it yet because I'm at work! I am looking forward to it though. \o/
