    Keep the money available as a deposit on a house, to be bought when you feel the market has rebounded. The current crash in house prices is a once-in-a-generation thing, so at 27 now, if you miss this opportunity you could be in your 40's before a similar opportunity comes along.

    Even if you're not ready to buy it's important to get your foot on the ladder when prices are minimised. As long as you're staying in the country, that is.

    As for the woman, I do give relationship advice but only in my column in Heat magazine.
    Mmmm, credit crunch. Tasty.

    1/3 in the highest saver available.
    1/3 in the Stocks.

    Spend it. HM Government insist that you do. Its a form of enforced quantitative easing.

    seek out and find a fine example of a 65-68 ford mustang....buy it and wonder why you never thought about doing it before
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    She "had" to move back? Spend some on the fare to NZ and sort it out first. :)
