I treated myself to a Genesis io as an early present. The first ride was a bit of a shock to the system, but each subsequent one has been a joy!

Wahoo!! I didn't get a bonus, but am using some left over redundancy money from last yr to put towards a 2010 Stumpjumper FSR Elite.
It'll be ready to pick up from about the 10th Jan.To go with it, I'm probably gonna get myself a hardtail frame that'll suit my Reba Team forks & swap all the bits off the old Stumpjumper onto the frame. Probably going to get a slot dropout Inbred.
The icing on the cake is that I should be getting my insurance excess back after the woman who crashed into me's insurance company have finally backed down and agreed to pay in full. So that'll be £250 going towards it.
EDIT - sorry, went into smug git mode there for a moment. I am quite grinny when I think about the new bike though, it has to be said!!

I don't get an xmas bonus, however the missus is getting some 'relocation expenses' in january...chance of her letting me have some for a bike are pretty much zero I would think though.
What do we need a fridge/freezer, washing machine or hoover for!

No Bonus. I used the overtime that came in to buy myself a SC Superlight frame. I'm building it up today.
Just came on-line to work out what to do with the cable routes. More tea and I'm back to it.

Yay we got a christmas bonus this year too, but its not big enough to buy a bike with. (well perhaps a Tesco special)

Save it fo a rainy day. Well I would.

No bonus here (I always seem to join companies just after their particular 'boom period' and hear stories of bonuses past...
).However have just signed up for a second bike to work, so will be picking up one of these
then knicking all the ultegra parts off last year's BTW, putting them on the Cannondale, punting the old one with the Cannondale kit on it and using that money to buy one of these
before getting dumped for breaching the unspoken limit of three bikes in the flat...
Who needs bonuses when you can be this inventive with BTW?

I assume the title is provactive

Bought myself 6 new inner tubes today and even those had to go on the credit card. So no - no new bike for me this Christmas!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I got some well timed share dividends through. I could have been sensible, but instead Treated myself to an Intense 5.5. Its **** ace!!!!!
ho ho ho indeed!

No Xmas bonus as such, but come January will have whole years worth of 'on call' money coming (we can choose to either have it in monthly pay or as an annual lump sum)

Being an nurse I don’t get a bonus, but when I opened my pay slip this morning I did notice that I had been paid £38 for “proffessional Fees” – so come April when I have to renew Nursing & Midwifery counsel registration (without which I can’t practice) I only have to find the other half great – mery bloody christmas

No fookin bonus here - self employed
Also, wouldn't know what to get...
Oh, perhaps a custom curvy Black Sheep 29er, front suspension, XC set-up. But that would probably take half a year to finalise...

Not exactly, but I have treated my 16-month-old daughter to a s/h Charge Blender.
Well, I needed something with a clear seat tube for her baby seat and got it for a song on ebay.

My bonus this year is being the only one in my household not to have the "Flu" at the moment
Do have £500 tucked away to buy a secondhand geared HT if one comes up in my size.
