OMG I think I forgot to enter this one!!! NOOOOO!!!!
Well 100k wouldn't pay off my mortgage
but I'd pay a good chunk towards it, even though I would incur fees for doing that! say - £50k
Put £10k each into trust for the children - 20k
Buy a car 10k (worth it to not have to drive around in OH's work van although I'd love a Bentley Continental but sadly couldn't afford one even with £100k!!!!)
Which leaves 20k which I would give
Sisters and bro 2k each
Parents 2k
The new childrens hospital 2k
DD's school £500 for the new fitness thing they need money for
The rest I'd save for the future.0 -

Pay off mortgage £60k
Gift to parents & siblings £10k
Make sure our new baby has the best start in life - priceless
Have really nice christmas for all the family
Refurbish and Redecorate whole house
Save whatever is leftSmoke-free since 7/12/2011 :0)
