So far I've come up with;
More car mats. :rotfl:
Prostitutes.
Football stickers.
£15k? I could give up being a prostitute!
I'm about to set up house (rented). I'd use it to get the bits and pieces of furniture I need and save the rest towards a mortgage deposit. After being in debt for so long, the idea of a little financial security/responsibility is very appealing.0 -
Wow £15000 - well done SS - very proud of you! :kisses3:
So - for my £15k....
I'd set aside £5k for fertility treatment and then put the rest towards setting up my own business - Lighterlife counsellor.
OR I'd set a bit more aside for treatment and some for my Diploma in Counselling and save the rest in a high interest savings account....
OR I'd just blow the lot on a Harley! :T0 -
Well done SS!!
I would take the kids on a holiday that doesn't involve canvas or tent poles!!!
The save the rest to help them through university or set up home without too much debt. This 15k would need to be very elastic - probably need more like 50K!!!!0 -
