£20,000 go crazy!

[Teaandbi5cuit5]

If someone gave you £20,000 tax free what would you spend it on?
You can't spend it on bills or day to day expenses.

A holiday for my nan

A camera and all the equipment i would need to become a photographer

A drum kit and equipment for my partner

Composite decking instead of the wood we’ve got planned!
Some really nice garden furniture
Shutters for my bay windows

A garage with a really good laundry area at the end of it and a big chest freezer and a wine fridge

Decorate the guest room,
replace the orange dining room carpet with oak parquet and re-carpet the stairs
Fix the dodgy guttering
Buy some new shoes and anything left on plants for the garden

I was recently given 10K and after paying off several debts I bought:
Camera equipment
Garden stuff e.g. planters and paving flags etc
Clothes
NT membership
A couple of meals out

If I had another 10K I'd do more of the same tbh

New kitchen
Recarpet upstairs
Ski holiday
Loads of theatre tickets with the DDs

Take DH and the kids for a trip to Disneyworld.

If debts not allowed (or maybe not clear them all), I would pay a PR company to market my blog to make it pay something for my time, I love writing it but like love it to make some pocket money at least.

Changed my mind.. I would get one of these www.jebiga.com/underground-spiral-wine-cellar-spiral-cellars-ltd/

A new bathroom, a trip to Italy & Switzerland, weekends with pals in Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen, a holiday to Australia to see friends! I haven't had any kind of break for 18 years!

I'd finish getting my house done up I need to replace the roof , plastering hallway and get decorated by professional not diy .
My driveway done and replace my fencing. If I have anything left a nice weekend break somewhere nice .

I'd love a new bathroom with a walk in shower. But I'd also love to travel in a campervan in America and Canada. Though I guess I could afford both with £20,000

God I would like a new kitchen, flooring and I simply must take the kids to Iceland. Mind you I'll probably need the £20k just for that. Or maybe those crazy igloo things in Finland to see the northern lights. Or that mad mirror box tree house in Sweden. Anyway, you get the point!

A long holiday in Japan and get New central heating and plumbing done.

I'd do an MA, book an amazing holiday and put a deposit on a new car.

A holiday in France

A new kitchen and a cruise!

A new (but not brand new) car, a big family holiday and I'd try and squeeze in a short break to New York.

Pay for a fabulous honeymoon

New bed, new sofas, family holiday (Disney land Florida maybe!), an amazing 5 star mini break for me and DH (use some money to pay for childcare), I might have a bit left over for a wardrobe reinvention as well, also might be seriously wishful thinking

New carpets, a nice gas fire place, new bathroom (2.5k carpets, 1k fire, not sure for bathroom, think would be about 6k?).

Patio for the far end of my garden so I have a patio that's always in the sun. Paint the outside of the house. New back door. Preferably new slabs over my concrete path as well.

Might be getting tight for cash at this point, but I think there would still be a few hundred pounds left for some lovely treats.

3k ish Brexit related...British passport for me and Italian passports for DS and DH.

5k ish on holiday, if I wasn't pg/could wait till bump was big enough to have travel jabs then visit DH family in the Phillipines...if I had to go soon (pg or with little baby) then Italy, visit family for a week and then go to the seaside for a week or two. Would bring parents and bro along too. Maybe go to Liguria as that's where we went as DC.

12k towards house deposit.

Deposit on a house

Turn our horrible, tatty basement storeroom into a proper, well-lit and adequately ventilated utility/storeroom. No ancient tiles and bits of plaster falling off the walls. And I'd get the front garden resurfaced, with a nice tiled path.

Amazing new shower room with vast shower. That would be about £20k in London, maybe a little less.
