Ooh, fun! Any plans yet?

Upgrade baby.

You''re upgrading your baby? Hmm never thought of that option...

Seriously though, enjoy your bonus Dreamer! Does your husband have any expensive hobbies of his own? Mine is fairly obsessive about cycling and mountain biking which is an ongoing drain on our finances and I find this works to my advantage as he is far more receptive to my wants if he thinks it helps justify his own! We are building a house now so we are both on restriction for the foreseeable future

 

[PumpkinPie]

congratulations! makes me wish I was in a field that got bonuses..

enjoy it!

HAHA! Our baby is pretty great, I don''t think I would trade him in.

He golfs, which is very expensive. But more than that it is a lot of time away from the family -- he likes to go twice am onth minimum and it is 5-6 hours each time. So I have told him I charge $10/hour for childcare while he golfs

I''d don''t actually bill him, but allowing him that time away without too much complaining buys me a lot of leeway in terms of getting what I want in other areas

So are you still doing the 3 stones upgrade? or just a bigger stone?

I don''t know

I waffle about every 60 seconds. I want a big bling look but am not sure how best to accomplish it. Dream ring = 1.5ct in a three stone setting

Don''t they usually offer some kind of bling discount here once you reach 10K or some kind of gift I thought? Maybe you could combine the 2 if so! I haven''t seen it in awhile so maybe it stopped...

 

[jcrow]

yay! can''t wait to see what you find!

They do still award it to people who make a significant contribution to PS, but you are right it has been at least 6 months. TGal got it last year, and Chrono and LindaW and kcoursolle. But a number did not get it. I don't know if I will qualify in their eyes or not

For what it is worth, I think you deserve it! You have helped so many of us out, especially us newbies!!!

That''s great Dreamer! And a reminder why I need to get the heck off Pricescope. (Like that''s gonna happen). My DH gets bonuses too and is very generous in the gifts he buys me. But I am VERY afraid to ever start down the upgrade road. Thank god for vicarious living!
