Cash Prize Win. What (strange) did/will you buy?

As a joke I used to say to my daughter if I won any money (over £1000) one of the first things I'd buy would be a large Tolberone (about £4 one) then when she came home from school (or college now) she would know straight away. .
So couple years ago a large Tolberone was waiting on the dining room when I won £2000.
Today's question is what have you promised to buy when you win a cash prize or did you (from £500).
Nothing like a white goods or furniture.

  • I won a £1000 co-op voucher and promised my daughter a Mars milkshake. I absolutely refuse to pay full price for them so she usually only gets them when they are on offer.

    Mr M likes a wee dram of peaty single malt. Last Christmas I noticed one called "Peatheart", which appealed to my romantic soul, then I saw the price. :eek: But the very next day I won £1000, so he got the most expensive bottle he'll ever have (unless I win him one of course!)
