mine went on bills

the electricity soaked up most of it thanks to a colder than normal winter

running the spllit system is expensive

It's been pretty much the same for me.

What's left over has gone into savings ahead of me needing to get the car serviced, or tyres, or some other boring expense like that.

Spent over $900 on six weeks rent for our place up north where we normally live whlist we are stuck in SW Vic

and paying out more here.

We also have to replace over $200 worth of meat and stuff because some idiot turned of our power whilst we

weren't there and the freezer is now empty luckily it was noticed within a couple of days so no smell.

Just wish the numpties would start doing as they are told and we start heading to some sort of normal as there are still too many not doing the right thing.

What $750 payment? None seen in this house. Probably because were are the middle income workers, paying tax, so were in the group that missed out. In fact, my income is so "middle", I'd actually be better off on the dole at the moment. I'd be bringing home more a fortnight than I am now.

According to the news, most was spent on acohol and online gambling, so a very smart move to give out.

Apparently the dealers were crying, because they were running out of product. They couldn't cross the borders to restock, or even get it imported from overseas. A few admitted they were down to their last $100K, and little to no stock. Diddums. Sucks to be them!

I spent the lot on Viagra... works a treat on the laundry too...better than starch on the collars.

On the downside....the neck scarf I wore to the white pointers beach the other day nearly choked me.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that is one of the funniest posts in answer to a question I have ever seen.  What an exquisite sense of humour that is;  primal yet clever.
