Not overly expensive but what should I buy for me or my bike as I've got a few quid burning a hole in my back pocket. Budget £50 max, give me some pointers but item(s) must be purely wants not needs.

have I got this right? You've got fifty notes and don't know what you want but still feel the urge to spend it?

is it just me?

yes, but I usually know what it is I want to buy, rather than having a sum of money and deliberately searching for suggestions on how to [s]waste[/s] spend it

Why save it, what use is having money in the bank? I spend all of my income every month in the belief that I will have contributed to getting us out of recession. Money in the bank is worthless if I drop dead tomorrow

Anyway, still got £15.01 to [s]waste[/s]spend and need some suggestions

If you saved it, then you might have more than £50 each time you desperatly wanted to buy something, like a whole new bike?
