Some days are diamonds...
Had to share this one.
Today I won the last badge draw at my club for the year.
$3800 - you beauty!
The draw accumulates at $100/week so it was quite a jackpot.
I've never won anything in my life before either.
So whaddya reckon I should do with it?
What was the nice Mr Nielsen's address again?

you could knock out a wall and dig some holes under the house to increase the size of your w/s for that much cash...

Craig,
Download the price list and put it into Excel to make an informed decision.
You should be able to get about 6 or 7 planes.
Congratulations, it is good to hear of a prize going to someone who won't be wasting it away.- Wood Borer

Good on ya mate!
My advice, use a small portion for grovel money for SWMBO and then do what you like with the rest.

You can buy me a beer next week!!
Nice one. You could always use some more planes, I'm sure. Or maybe a cube of some nice timber."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

I used to frequent a local bowling club on the badge draws, went away on holidays for one week and when do you figure my number was drawn :mad: was over $3000 too.
Congrats on your win, hope you find something nice to get with itBrett

If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Good on you Craig!
Just thinking about all the lovely goodies you could get with that $3k (after the timber purchase, and a sweetener for SWMBO)
Happy Hols mate!

Well done Craig.
I've never won a chook in a pub raffle!
