I guess it depends on your personality type.

Personally, I would take the money and invest intensively. But thats a result of my age, ambition and fondness of anything business related.

At heart, you probably know what to do with it in your own situation. :beer:
As I say there are property investments around that you can achieve £8-10k pre tax profits per annum, based on rental yield and your investment amount. Then any capital gains is a welcome bonus.

I can take no responsibility for the use of any free comments given, any actions taken are the sole decision of the individual in question after consideration of my free comments.
That also means I cannot share in any profits from any decisions made!;)
