What would you do with 75k??

Daybreak/Lorraine's current comp is to win 75k and a new car....I was day dreaming about what I'd do with the money and wanted to see what you guys would do with it if you won!! :rotfl:

I'd use the money to move house and treat my little family to a holiday. Oh and give my current car back and keep the fancy BMW :p

    Haha I was daydreaming about this too!

    I would pay off my Grandma's mortgage for her, go back to Florida & The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and take the whole family this time, sell the BMW (insurance would be too expensive!) & buy myself a new car (current one is knackered!) and then just give my Mum/Partner/Brother some money

    Mortgage-free Glee! Hung up my suit! Xmas Saver!
    Well I could use it a part payment on a bungalow to be able to move my elderly parents near to us or give our daughter a large chunk as a deposit on a house, leaving us a bit of extra in the bank (probably sell the car as well to boost the pot).
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

    As I would lose my income (due to ill health not laziness) I'd have to live on it for about 5 years

    Pay off debts (cards/loan etc not mortgage!), buy a new car, go on a lovely holiday, get new roof and other stuff done round the house that we want to do, set up savings accounts for our boys, then probably save the rest.

    Sell the BMW, buy the boyfriend a cheaper (but good) car and pay his first years insurance.
    Buy everything my sister needs for her baby (just found out she's expecting her first)
    Take my family and closest friends (they have kids too) to Disneyworld for a holiday.
    Buy my mum a MUFC season ticket, in the best area I could.

    Then finally.. be a little bit greedy/selfish and get a babysitter whilst me and the boyfriend make off to somewhere in the Caribbean for a week or two :rotfl:
    Comping since Feb 2012.

    Best wins - Pram, £800+ Baby equipment, Big :eek: gadget bundle, Summer hamper, £500 worth Freeze 24/7 products, Sony Xperia Z, £200 worth tanning/beauty products.
