Same problem here mate but with 850 to blow!

So far got meself a shiatsu massage cushion (which might sound a bit gay but is actually an awesome bit of kit) and a pair of Prada sunglasses.

Now potentially lining up a dart board or table-tennis table for outside. Or possibly a TV.... can't quite decide.

Cheers

Don't JL normally have a good sporting department? Maybe a paddling pool for the fine summer I'm sure we are going to have!

Maybe you could ask that other fell that started a thread on the same subject and compare notes.

I went in there with vouchers intending to buy a mincer/sausage maker and a couple of those micro plane graters. However I got distracted in the outdoor toy section and bought a zip-slide (steel cable /pulley etc).

(This thread has reminded me that I never got round to putting it up in the last 2 years.)

I think I kept the rest and they came in handy for wedding presents in the summer

John Lewis are well know for appliances (reasonable value and great warranties) - anything you need there? Dishwasher? New washing machine?

Dull I know!

Failing that spunk it all on a fancy Hifi.

Samsung NC 10 great for surfing the net anywhere and the good battery means you don't have to get up often to charge it.

Lego Technic is brilliant Mindstorms even better if your local store carries it but let's face it, you want one of these.

I got a netbook from JL using vouchers, failing that they have some nice chef knives, coffee machines, or why not treat yourself to a flat screen for the garage biggrin

Don't know what brands they stock but my recommendation is some sort of Espresso coffee machine - you can never have too much Coffee. thumbup
