Where is your tax refund going
Submitted by Colin Hay on Wed, 2008-07-09 13:42.
Having just seen Dreamweaver's good news about a sizeable tax return, I was wondering what plans Fishwrecked members might have for spending their well earned tax return cheques.
Personally, I will be looking to buy a nice fishing kayak.

Various!
Yeah, got (getting) that return because I worked 12-14 hour days and both weekends and was up around the $120K plus mark - then pulled the pin (burn out)...anyway, to answer the question:
1) Get the house ready for selling (some kitchen bench work to be done)
2) Set aside some $$s for rental bond etc when we move down to Albany.
3) and of course, buy some fishing gear (if I can convince the wife) - probably at least one Sol 40.
4) Oh, and a reef anchor
5) Clothers for the Mrs. <----- see 3) LOL
6) New weelie bin (set our existing one on fire yesterday LOL) (we buy them down here).

You didn't set your wheelie bin on fire with fireworks and battery acid did you?

Number 1...the bin
LOL, nah mate. I was really stupid. I put the ash from our slow combustion in the bin and I'm normally carefull to check it. Went out again an hour later and the bottom corner of the bin was on fire - hole about the size of two footys!
Just as well it was virtually empty

I've only been working since
I've only been working since feburary, and being taxed as if I was working for a whole year so it should be a pretty good return.
I think I'll put it in a savings account, shock horror
(ok, some of it is going to the next fishing trip and some lures)

Always interested in someone to go fishing with

At the rate it is going up I might just get enough to leave the harbour from my Tax return.
