What would you do if you won 100k with this morning?

Because the This Morning competition is closing soon just thought I would start a thread where we call all dream about what we would spend our winnings on, if of course someone from MSE won. I'll go first:

1 - I would become debt free £30,00
2 - Gifts for friends and family £5,000
3 -Lots of hols :o
4 - Deposit for house

And of course some treats for me and OH :j

Just need to win now hehe

What would everyone else do? :rolleyes:

    Oooh where do I start...
    I would

    1) Pay off debts (approx £4000)
    2) Take kids on their first ever holiday
    3) Fill my freezer and cupboards
    4) Go shopping for clothes with the kids
    5) Buy a car (first time I would be able to afford one in 16 years!) :eek:
    6) Refresher driving lessons (see above for reason)
    7) Find a job (now that I would be able afford to work and pay childcare)
    8) Go to a child-friendly restaurant and choose what the kids and I want WITHOUT looking to check the prices first :D
    9) Help friends and family with cash or gifts.
    10) Donate to my children's Primary and Secondary Schools as a "thank you" for all their excellent work and support.
    11) SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!

  • omg I could only dream of winning that sort of money, but if (and its a massive if) I did then I would definitely get rid of my debts, use some to splash out and spoil the family etc and be sensible with a bit of it too for a rainly day and all that ! Please let it be me !!
