In the bank!
It was another of the annual horse killing events yesterday, otherwise known as the Grand National. We did a family sweepstake and all put a pound in and got 4 horse each, drawn at random from a hat.
We also all put in real bets at the local betting office. Just a few pounds here and there.
Luckily, after my horse Numbersixvalverde won, I netted the £20 family sweepstake and my wife won £24 from her £2 bet at 11/1 odds.
Sweet.
Now, what shall I spend my £20 on? Any ideas?

EDIT: Just went and got FIFA06 for my 360 from the Birmingham branch of CEX. Only £28 second hand!

For a few hours it looked like i was going to spend it all on buying my Brummie colleagues a beer.
Luckily, they are too (stupid) lazy to go to the pub today..
I went out this lunchtime and bought myself FIFA 06: Road To The World Cup for my XBox360.
Decided to get it 2nd hand as it was only £28 - and still retails for about £40!
Money grabbing tossers!
Just need to practice a bit and then when I get back on LIVE, I will be whipping your asses!
Or getting beat by some 11 year olds....
