Draw on Fun vs $$$ – Prizes it Is

Complete tie on the Fun vs $$$ Poll, and running out of time to collect monies, so l am making the executive decision to go for Prizes.

I may need a week for the Bassi Inc World Cup 2014 fund to be built up ( . . l need to book some time for some sales of the Big Issue . . .), but l was thinking of the following:

Note:  . . . .  it may be a fraction of the true size. Size will vary on what l feel like spending over the next two weeks 🙂
