What would you do with £10k, £20k, £50k, £100k, £500k?

I would probably invest it all as I have enough emergency money.  GIA then so be it, just sell them in lots to come under the CGT threshold each year.

£10k-£50k - I do like treating myself so at least a quarter of any of those sums would involve pampering me silly and the rest I'd invest for future pampering 😊
£100k - would allow me to move out of my current situation now rather than waiting for the new tax year.
£500k - I'd pack my bags and my bunnies up and I'd head somewhere a bit warmer, buy a small place by a beach and have daily pampering 😊
