For those of you who don't know when you work for John Lewis or Waitrose you are considered a partner and are therefore an owner of the business. next month we find out what percentage of profit we made last year it has been predicted to be 20% this means as an owner I get a share of the profits and get a 20% bonus. I've worked out from my earnings last year that means my bonus will be around £800 anyway against my parents wishes who want me to save it (booooooooooring) I want to blow it all on something cool so suggestions anyone? :D

A super computer, you know ones with intel quad core extreme 3.33Ghz and then overclock it.
I would deposit some into Entropia Universe (Best MMORPG Game thats free. Also the second largest) You can make money ingame and then withdraw it afterwards especially good if you've made a profit while playing. One guy even made $1m from playing it but he invested a lot of money all at once.

you dont need rhythm i have no rhythm when it comes to playing music but its just something you learn and get better with practice and if you love music its well worth it you can buy a decent set of cd mixers with mixing deck for around £350 - £400 and might get lucky with mp3 compatible which you would be able to hook up to your laptop etc. can gets requests download tune beats also play with alot more things when compatible with mp3/laptop its well worrth looking into

if not give us some ideas of your hobbys/fun/etc. will try come up with some more ideas

Since when does a T-Shirt cost £25 unless it's nike? and since when do jeans cost £50 unless they're designer and you're XXXXXXXXL Size?

It's one of the advantages of working or the partnership aswell as getting exclusive access to country clubs , a 12% discount card in waitrose after 3 months and 25 % in Waitrose and John Lewis after a year AND!!!! if we have tickets to a music festivel or a gig we take our tickets to work and get the money back so we go for free and I'm only a part timer pretty randy

You should keep the money until you actually want to buy something rather than just spending it for the sake of it. :)

keep it, and then you might see something you really want and think "oh, sweet, I can afford that" because you may end up buying something for the sake of it and then have no money to buy it with.

With £800 he'll be about to buy 8 of them :P

I would save it, but I'm odd :P Although I would buy a PS3, but you've already got one. What's your car like? Have you got a good radio? You could take it to the car showroom/services and have it upgraded, like I had my car upgraded to have central locking.

if it was me, and i had a car (which unfortunately i dont) i would probably spend it on upgrading and 'beefing up' my car, buy some decent speakers and a sub, then spend whatever was left on some new rims, maybe get the body/paintwork touched up

You can't get a super computer for £800.

More like £8000 :)
