Cometh the day
Monday's the day for the 100 Di Faced Tenners. Penny suggested that I might like to go down and watch. Would have loved to, but just can't find the time.

Hello
So, in 2004 I bought a print by Banksy called "100 Di-Faced Tenners". I really like Banksy's work, and had previously bought a print of "Love is in the Air".
Anyway, I didn't get round to framing the new print and so it has stayed in its tube, in the back of our wardrobe, for the last four years. Last month I noticed that another version of this work had sold at Bonhams, so I've decided to sell mine.
I dropped the print off at Bonhams this afternoon, who will look after it until someone (hopefully) buys it next year.
The interesting question is what to do with the proceeds. I don't want to just put the money into a bank account, or use it around the house. This money should be used for interesting things.
Should I buy more art? Give some of it to charity? Use it to do things that we would never have done otherwise? I think we should use any proceeds (and let's remember it hasn't sold yet) in an exciting, joyous, manner.
