    Congrats on paying off £15k, wow what an amazing achievement. You should have a small celebration and here's to the next £15k.

    I would spend £15k on a racing car (hence the name), unfortunately I have to do it on the cheap (ie a 106 at 40mph lol). One day I will do it. I vowed that I would once debt free. Watch this space.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.

    Tattoos probably. :D
    Echo that and body piercing although OH says he may have to dump me :p Can you tell we are complete opposites.

    Seriously,
    A porch for the front of my house 2.5k (already priced)
    Newish car 5k
    New bathroom 2k

    The rest uhm.... no idea although as you can see from my signature i managed it once but i did completly refit a whole house apart from the bathroom.
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
  • well done ss :T

    i would save mine after going to the lake district on holiday :D

    Well done SS :beer: - you're catching me up big style and I started with £18.5k :eek: Crikey I'd better get a wriggle on!

    As for the question....£15,000......ooooh lovely.

    I think I would:
    • Replace bathroom suite
    • Rip out our kitchen and start again (it's a small kitchen so wouldn't take much!)
    • Get someone to come and paint all the outside woodwork ASAP! (It's getting urgent now.)
    • See if there was any left over for BF & I to sneak off and get married and have a little party afterwards for close family & friends.

    I've just hit the barrier of paying off over £15,000 of my debt now and am sat here wondering what I could of spent that money on! :think:

    You couldn't forget yours for a bit and do mine could you? I've got just over £15k left now, be a walk in the park for you ;)

    I really don't know what I'd do with £15k. Probably be deposit for a house though

    It would have to go on a newish car, ours is on its last legs.

    If there was any money left, I would buy a plane ticket to Canada and go visit my best friend.

    Looking round, we also need a new kitchen and bathroom.

    The garden needs sorting and the whole place could do with a lick of paint.

    No, sorry SS, £15000 just wont be enough hun :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
