What's the best 50 quid you've ever spent?

[Bluemoon]

Years ago we bought a mongrel puppy for £50 quid (and thought we'd been ripped off, but she wasn't being kept in conditions we approved of and it was part with the money or leave her there) A year later she barked late at night and alerted us to a fire in the kitchen, which we were able to extinguish before the fire brigade arrived. She saved us a fortune in what might have been damaged and probably saved our lives.

Good dog!


If 50 quid is between $75-$100 US, then lets see . . . the mortgage payment on my land is $75 a week, does that count?

LoL sounds great, so why not... but if you had to give it up after a week, would it have been money well spent?

£60 on a second hand Kenwood chef, but it was only secondhand in so much as it had been taken out of the box and used twice!! It saves me time and money every week.

Well the best 15 quid was to register selfsufficientish.com as a domain name. Then the 11 quid Dave and I spent between us to get the coach to London to meet up with our publishers. So that makes 26 quid er the money I spent getting Emma drunk when we first met Would be a very different life if I had not have spent money on any of them things.
