    Options I've thought of so far .....
    • Chuck it all at the mortgage
    • Chuck most at the mortgage and splurge the rest on: clothes spree or getting my highlights done at xmas
    • Holiday fund for next year
    I will also be able to sponsor Hypno and Pania now too :D:D

  • Well done BB! BTW I'd do the second option, a little bit of a splurge and being sensible with the rest :j
    Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.
  • Well done thats a lovely surprise for you. I'd do half to the mortgage half to the hair AND clothes you deserve it.
