help me choose a present for myself
nick205 - 20/8/07 at 12:49 PM

This Friday I will have been with my company for 10 years Not sure quite where it's gone, but there you go. I've moved around within the company over that time from Engineering to Sales and although I've come close to leaving in the past I'm happy at the moment.

Anyway in recognition of 10 years service we get our choice of gift up to the value of £100 (better than the gold watch or carriage clock).

So....what do I want? I've had my eye on a circular saw for a while, some Snap-On spanners/sockets, mitre saw, vouchers for a track day......?

Give me some ideas guys

£100 cash

Wife Just bought me a set of ratcheting spanners for my birthday.

Whish I had them for the build rather than the mini re-build I am undergoing at the moments.

( followed the advice on Neds thread )

Ah just like the Simpsons. 'A hundred tachos for a hundred dollars!' What about 100 scratch cards or 100 lottery tickets? You never know, you could win more back.

Nothing specific, but something that you've always wanted but not been able to justify the money for (supercar driving experience, flying lesson, handbag...)

have fun choosing!

Cheers

Already asked about that one - considered innapropriate

Driver training?

not a bad idea Ian!

Driver training is good idea.

Snap on tools would be good also, you may not get many but they are shiny, will last and a suitable reminder that you could have been released before now for armed robbery Maybe a set of files will be appropriate.

That's also under review

I don't think they can give cash, as it'll be taken as pay.

SWMBO got a grand when she passed her ACII (ins exams) about 15 years go, and had to go into shops with a prewritten company cheque. Rules may have changed since
