If you won the £60k comp...

would you stop comping or carry on?

Also, because like me you all probably love fantasising about a win...what would you spend the £60k on? :D

May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    For me it would be a house deposit and a trip to Vegas! It would be the only way I can ever get on the property ladder! I constantly think about what I could do with money prizes!!

    I'd spend it on my other passion in life which is holidays, only then would I take up comping again :D

    I'd still comp because I find comping fun. :p

    As for what I'd spend it on, I don't even know! lol. An iPad definitely, a new car that has room for my wheelchair and is reliable and that's as far as I've got!

    About half would go towards a deposit on a house otherwise I'd have no other way of buying my own home. I'd take an intensive driving course and buy a small runaround car. I'd put some towards my wedding next year, and take an extended honeymoon. Then little gizmos and gadgets, and some new guitars for my OH :D

    And yes I'd carry on comping!
    Back to comping after a 3-year hiatus :j

    I'd keep comping! Stopped after my last money win and definitely regret it :) Who knows what I could have missed out winning!

    Some money to mum and then I'd pay for the OH and myself to go on an RTW trip. I'd take a break from comping until I get back.... I wouldn't feel like I deserved anything else for a long time :D

    I wouldn't have to take out a maintenance loan for uni! Go on holiday and save some for a rainy day.

    I'd pay for my wedding and a nice holiday and put a bit away for my 7 month old son for when he's older
    Wishing everyone the best of luck for 2020 ☘️

    I would not even stop comping if I won the lottery ! It brings me so much pleasure - and there really is nothing like the excitement of getting a winning email or letter ! I would certainly share the love though !!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)
