Spend £100,000 in 24 hours

So my husband has been watching these YouTube videos where they basically give someone a huge sum of money and a limited time to spend it. It’s made me realise how unimaginative I must be because I think I’d actually really struggle.

So, tell me - if you had £100k to spend in 24 hours, what would you do?

Let’s say the rules are that every transaction has to be complete within the time period (so that rules out things like house purchases), you can’t buy anything online, or put any into savings, and if you don’t spend it all within the time you lose everything. Your starting point is wherever you are now so you’ll need to factor in travel time.

Luxury cruise on the Mississippi and explore the Southern States £20k.
Part of the garden where there is a v old mini orchard relandscaped and planted £15k
I'd buy some cases of very good wine from some of the Pauillac Chateau £45k
Still got £20k - as this is free money I think £8 or £9k on an Asprey handbag and two pairs of Ferragamo shoes - another £1000.
As I am at a loss to think of anything else I'd give the DC £5k each to splurge.

I’d book a three week holiday for me and DH to Florida going first class. We’d stay in a Disney hotel and have all the Disney dining booked plus park tickets. That could easily be £15k. This would be done in a travel agent so I can take their advice as to anything else required. Hyundai Tucson, £30k. A car each for my two daughters plus a year’s insurance and road tax. I’m estimating £15k. A gorgeous watch for DH, £5k. A designer bag for me £3k. A whole new wardrobe for me, 2 x DD, and DH £10k. A new sofa, £3k. A new ginormous bed, £4k. Plus bedding for said bed, £1k. iPads x 3 £4.5k. Family holiday to Crete, £9.5k.

I’m good at this!!

I'd book a holiday to Mexico for myself, husband, baby and my parents. I'd buy a house on the complex in Riviera maya we love.

If anything left, go out for amazing dinners and do a bit of shopping

I might blow a ridiculous amount of it on a really good bed and some incredible sofas and lighting. Our lighting sucks. It's cheap-end John Lewis. I want incredible, sumptuous lights.
