.... but I always enjoy a bit of daydreaming, as well as learning what others daydream about!
So - in the light of our lucky £54321 winner this week, what would YOU do with that amount of cash as a prize?!!!!
I would firstly pay off my card which is about £3500. Then I'd pay some off my mortgage, perhaps about £10000 or so. I'd pay for a new roof, new windows and doors. Book a lovely holiday for us and the kids. Some treats for my mum and other family members. We've always dreamed of knocking through our kitchen & dining room but it would be a big job involving moving doors, windows and radiators, so hopefully there would be enough left to do all this too!!!!
What would you spend yours on?!

P.s. in reality, if it happened I might open a restaurant - sigh!I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology

Pay off the mortgage.0

10K off the mortgage
10K back to the in-laws (they loaned us to get the house)
Pay off my student loan
And whatever is left having fun and treating people!0 -
Pay off the mortgage and
either extend the house ( up or out to the side)
Or live til retirement age on that money and never work again.
It would be tight but after mortgage paid I could do it with no hols.
Or give my kids 10k each and still have 25k deposit for another house.
Or same as above but a 5k hol and 20k deposit.
And it may seem that 20/25k is a small deposit but around where I live that's half a house paid for.63 mortgage payments to go.
Zero wins 2016 😥0 -
think id spend 20k on paying off some of my mortgage, 1k doing up my bathroom, maybe another1-2k re-carpeting my whole house we could get the luxury stuff , few hundred kitting the dogs out with new beds, collars, bowls, leads etc put some in an isa for me, and isa for OH then just random stuff prob like new baking trays and pan sets lol0
