    I spend some on a really good holiday!

    The rest I'd probably put towards a house deposit or something sensible like that! :D

    Congrats SS on paying off so much! :T I hope you are really proud of yourself!

    If I had the mortgage when I got the 15k then the money would all go to that apart from a little bit to take my mum and brother out to dinner.

    If I was mortgage free, then I would spend 5k on the holiday of a life time, put 3k in an ISA and then use the rest to save up for when I change my flat to a house. Fairly boring stuff really :confused:

    2. £1000 on a visit to Victoria Secrets, la senza, agent provocateur and bravissimo..........(my present to my wife for my benifit):D

    3. £1600 on an omega seamaster Ref: 2225.80.00

    4. £6000 on a new car (2nd hand Passat 2.0 TDI.... metallic Blue with black interior Automatic gear box).

    5. £3000 on a multimedia station : To include a 42" plasma Tv, bose lifestyle system, a NAS (i.e. Network Access Storage) unit with a 1000 gig capacity and a blue ray DVD player.
