I used to reward myself with a new suit each time. That's right, I dressed to impress when I contracted.
Now my wardrobe looks like a rack at Burtons with sizes all they way up for somebody no longer my size.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

I bought a set of these once to celebrate an extension. Although I probably would have bought them anyway because they are beautiful!Comment

If your contract gets canned early, are you going to smash the reward that you've bought?Comment

I do
because an extension is like a pay rise because you don't have to spend bench time looking for a job.
I normally splash out on an extra big piece of stinky blue cheese to go with my cheese and crackers, as opposed to a normal sized piece(\__/)
