extra �5000!

[gonzo00]

if you suddenly discovered that you had �5000 that you didn't need...or say someone gave you the money as a gift....what would you spend it on or do with it?

[tiggerblue10]

I'd pay �4k off my mortgage and use the rest to pay bills for a couple of months.

[Beetledewz]

Probably pay it into my mortgage or pension.

Is that too sensible? How about a huge plasma screen? And an arcade machine.

[pink-kittens]

Spend some on me, me, me!

Probably put the rest in the bank for a holiday

[gonzo00]

very responsible tiggs! wouldn't you be ever so slightly tempted to treat yourself a little? :)

[smudge]

I'd split it & give �2,500 to each daughter, to spend on themselves & their families.

I'm kind like that, ;o}

[tiggerblue10]

TBH I'm not really into pampering, clothes buying, shoe buying, holidaying etc etc. I'd probably buy loads of DVDs and books though.

[tiggerblue10]

If I had children I'd do what Smudge would do.

Just as I was thinking some interest should land in my account the other day, it appeared. Over �2,000. Initially I thought, that's a mistake. Till I remembered that the proceeds of the house sale were in there for a few months.

It's tempting to spend a bit extra on our refurb but if I keep my hands off it I dont have to look for a job for a while longer.

If it had been �5k I'd save half for the above reason and get the fireplace the house deserves and a couple of classy chandeliers.

I'd treat close family to a meal and a night bowling, give some to my daughter who's a hard up student, put some in my savings account and the rest would go in the wedding fund.
