What Would You Do If You Won £50,000

Quickblood

Pay off my debts (£2000), buy my mother a holiday home (£15,000) give my sister £5000, start an investment account (£10,000), buy a car (£3000), a new gaming PC (£1000) and put the rest in Premium Bonds (£14,000).

I'd probably wait a year before I did something like go on holiday. I'd plan it well in advance then do it as cheaply and as luxuriously as possible.

Whats a sticky please?

Hi.At the top of page one there are a few threads that are 'sticky's which means they will always remain at the top of page one and won't get lost in with the other comp threads.There is a compers inn thread where the usual general discussion takes place:)

Hope that helps.

I'd be off to Florida for a holiday with our young family to stay in a Disney resort hotel.

Oh yes, and I need some new shoe laces too!

I'd pay a couple grand off my debts (thats the total I owe, not incl. student loans, which I refuse to accept as a 'proper' debt since it gets paid out of wages anyway, lol).

then, a long holiday, spending 2-3 weeks learning to surf, and 2-3 weeks learning to snowboard - obv. also buying some gear for both.

then...............

Gibson Les Paul (about a grand)
Jeff Beck signature Strat (about 1500)
Martin D28 (about 2 grand)
Mesa Boogie amp (about a grand)
Fender Princeton Reverb amp (6-700 quid??)
new mac powerpc (uh, 1-2000 quid??)
30" or 40" cinema display for new mac (uh...600-1000??)
various computer bits n pieces (probs another 5000 - incl. mic preamps, new interface, etc)
SLR camera, probs a Nixon D70 (uh, 1000??)

then bank the penies I have left!

I've said it once, and I will say it again, Baby Giant, the reason this forum works so well, and is, I am sure one of the friendliest and most helpful is that people do feel free to post. Just ignore the threads that don't have an end date on them. It shows by the amount of people who have responded to this thread that people do want to chat away from the discussion thread, as one thread only goes really quickly and gets very jumbled. Someone will not doubt merge it soon.

Whats the prob . I said "please" and "thanks". It isn't as if I put anything in CAPS or was rude in anyway like post loads of :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: .

But in the end - Forum rules are Forum rules. I bet Kipper doesn't get this flack later today today when she informs OP that this is being moved to the discussions thread.

I now feel deeply hurt by all your negative comments about me and so.......I will retire to Bed :rolleyes:

Yes I would love to win a large sum of money like that as then we could say goodbye to Debit Free Direct & our costly IVA :j(it keeps going up eventhough we were told it would be reduced after 2 yrs:mad: )

My wife could pay some of the money that she owes on the house to her ex:beer:
Then the remainder can go on the doing up this house which we have struggled to do for the last 6 years what with having small kids & both working shifts :j

I have won many prizes over the 15 years ie 2 LCD HD TV's,A mobile Phone ,A PC LCD Screen,an MP3 Player etc etc & I am convinced (Like everyone else) that I/We will win a major prize 1 day.:D

I'd have a smallish holiday and put the rest in a high interest account to give to DD for a deposit when she leaves Uni. No chance of her getting one for many years on a teachers salary.
Mind you she might marry a rich man one day, in which case we'll have a biggish holiday instead.

I would pay off my OH student loan and overdraft, get a small car and finish my driving lessons. Then probably save the rest, got used to being so in debt that I dont know what to do with money when I've got it now.
I've seen what happens when you've lived the high life and had to come crashing down, so I would stay grounded no matter how much I got. Might spend a few hundred updating my dvd collection though....mmm
