ah the momentary joy that can be had from pressing 'balance' at a cash machine and seeing that you have 36 thousand pounds in your current account.

shame it'll all be gone shortly...

You're going to buy 36,000 things from a pound shop?

OK, well, I know that's not really going to happen but still.

Actually, in a way, you're going to spend it all on drinks and clubbing. That's probably some kind of record.

I had a similar feeling when I did that just before I bought my car last year.

Swiftly followed by the pant-cacking nervousness of keying in for a 5-figure switch transaction...

Think of all that sherbet!!!

The cause is just though :)

yes - and for every one I'm going to say 'how much is this?'

[identity profile] attack-monkey.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I did that when my critical illness insurance paid out. It was the most money I've evah had. Shame it was only there for a couple of hours!

:P

til lunchtime today when I head to the bank to pay it to other people :)

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
woo that'd be like a small swimming pool full of sherbet!

I meant to go and sort this out yesterday but got stuck with a technical issue at work. wonder if I'll get 25p interest on my account or something similarly massive this month because of it :)

Yar.

In my bank account today, there is £31. And that's not even money, that's what's left of my overdraft :(

[identity profile] dedbutdrmng.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
I've just done that too!

And it will all be gone by the end of the week...

i once had 15000 in my account, but it was a fuck up by the bank, it was really 1500, the crappy bit was that i was the one that pointed it out!!!

You know i think we had 50K in our account for a little while back in 04...

Of course that went rather quickly though we did hold back about 10K for double glazing etc...

It's a surreal experience. You expect there to be something different about spending that much money and it's not, it's just like buying a bottle of wine at the local offie for £6.50. I think I checked the amount about 4 times before keying my pin in though.
