I just got a letter from the tax office with a cheque for £1200 in over payed income tax and the best thing is that's only from 2 of the 5 years I asked them to look at. They sent forms to be filled in so they can check the other 3.

How did I achieve this miracle I hear you ask? Below is a letter template, just change the address to your taxoffice and fill in the other bits and away you go:

Bradford Valley View Address
Tax payers service office Address

So NSG, how should I spend my hard earned cash?

You shouldn't. Put the money in the bank.

Why? They'd only lend it to some crack head to buy an overpriced house and then act all surprised when he doesn't pay it back.

That's what you should do with the money. Buy a lot of crack then spend the rest on an overpriced house.

Bury it in jars in your yard.

Put it in savings.

Nah, the squirrels around here are streetwise. The last thing I want to is wake up one morning and find my jars empty and the squirrels strutting about in mink coats smoking cuban cigars.

Put it in savings.

What's with all this sensible advice?

I have savings that come straight from my salary each month, this is fun money.

Buy loads of plates and throw them out of your window.

Nonetheless, you have achieved something that us lesser mortals can only dream of: getting money owed back from the taxman.

Hmm, I'd only get £8 back if I claimed (the entirety of income tax I have ever paid). Is it worth it? :/

£1,200... oooh, that's a lot of alcohol. It think it may have been Private Eye that gave the tip of investing in alcohol. Not companies, but just buying glass bottles of alcohol; drinking the contents; and then selling the bottles back to a recycling company. Best investment tip for 09 guarenteed -- this investment strategy out performed all the major stock markets in 2008. *nods*

quite your job and spend all day playing snes?

Fly over!

Bah, the Mega Drive was where it was at.

Fly over!

Alas, if only I could.

I've lost my passport, the only reason I didn't spend New Years in Denmark this year. :(

Convert it all into pennies and see how high you can stack them.

Convert it to Euro before the Pound is completely worthless ;) ?

And perhaps organise a NSG meet :p

Visit Prague and buy much beer to your guide.

I volunteer to be your guide ;)

construct a catapult that can launch pies over great distances, aim at a famous location and fire away...

Go to a casino and put it all on one bet on the roulette wheel. Bet on 00 and you could end up with £42k!

I read the title first time as I Gots Mah Monkeys Back From The Government. Im like hmm that might be a interesting story...

With this economy the way it is, there's no such thing as fun money.

I'd say give it to me but someone already said that...

Minus the cost of a really really tall ladder.

Gold is $850 an ounce raw materials alone. Wont be a very big statue.

That would have made a more interesting thread.

Of course there is, I'm responsible with my salary and don't owe people money.

Windfalls should be treated as what they are, an indication from a higher power that it's time to have some fun.

Then buy a gun to force a sculptor to make a gold statue of yourself!
