    I don't have a mortgage at the moment, so would add it to the savings I've got for a deposit.

    Alternatively, we've been talking about getting married later this year so it might go into the wedding fund. :)
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    Ah that makes sense now......

    If I was given 1k today, I'd put it in my savings account towards my house deposit.

    That's the sensible option in reality I'd buy the mattress I'm also saving for...
