What would you do with an unexpected gift of £1,000?

Interesting idea about gadgets for OH. He loves gadgets but I'm not so keen!

A weekend in Venice would be nice but how suitable is it for a 3yo? Anyone know?

There's no point in home improvements because our plan is to completely renovate and extend when we sell OH's house from before we married, which we rent out at the moment. I read the market will really pick up in 2015 so we're waiting for then.

I'm wondering about a piece of art...

i dont want to sound rude but why ask what to do with your wind fall, your only going to do what you want to do with it in the end, so ideas of how to save spend it seem pointless, just my opinion

I wanted some inspiration. And I am getting some. I love some of the ideas I've been given.

The £1,000 extra is fab, I wouldn't buy art, sure it's beautiful but I would want to enjoy it, it's free money, fun money, time to make a dream come true, bring with it some laughter, a short break away, trip to Disneyland Paris with your little one.?

A Lego land trip?

That gadget/ laptop/ iPad/ camera/ dinner service/ kitchen aid/ settee you have always wanted?

Venicians have children too! (one of the weirdest and most cringe worthy things I have heard was a British couple in Venice tutting about the unfenced canals (seriously, where did they think they were going) and wondering where all the children were and how many died each year.

I love art, and would definitely consider that as an option, of you and your dh can find something you both love.

Yes of course , but every single thread would open and close if ' you are only going to do what you want to do......so ideas seem pointless'

im not going to hijack the thread, i just gave my opinion as you did yours, lets just leave it there so others can contribute to the thread.

Save half, spend half - maybe on a long-weekend to Paris, or something...
