What would you do with it?

OP posts:
GeneralMusings · 07/07/2024 21:55

Towards autism assessment for my kid.

SleepingStandingUp · 07/07/2024 21:55

Debts.

But if I was forbidden from such sensible behaviour - new shoes, books, someone to deep clean my house,pay Stacey Solomon to come and sort out my house

Hedonism · 07/07/2024 21:56

£400 to ds, £400 to dd (savings accounts), £200 on some really well fitting jeans for me. Maybe a bottle of wine for DH if there's any change.

@Gape

what are the odds?

@oObyeOo

I'd buy a new sofa. I really need one & it would be something specific I'd could say I'd bought (rather than in the renovating fund/pension/towards replacing my car & various other sensible things I need money for)

KeebabSpider · 07/07/2024 21:59

Boring I know....put it into my savings.

Pay for a deep clean of my flat and go away for a few days while they did it

RightOnTheEdge · 07/07/2024 22:06

I would spend it on driving lessons

romdowa · 07/07/2024 22:06

New bed for us and ds needs a proper wardrobe

Peoneve · 07/07/2024 22:07

Saw some lovely shoes on net a porter earlier. £1000 would get 1.5 pairs

Tisfortired · 07/07/2024 22:09

I’d use half towards my credit card debt and the other half towards a holiday.

Mydogisagentleman · 07/07/2024 22:09

Me and DD are leaving New York tomorrow. I would pay for a cab to the airport and upgrade us.

Punkrockprincess · 07/07/2024 22:12

Deep clean of my house.

ThaMiSporsail · 07/07/2024 22:12

Buy a Fender American Performer Mustang Bass in Aubergine (but I'd have to add a few quid to my £1000).

Houseplanter · 07/07/2024 22:14

LibertyDuck · 07/07/2024 21:47

Pay you to stop using gifted as a verb.

I'd add another 1k

RainintheDesert · 07/07/2024 22:15

Put it towards my savings.

Boring, I know, but I'm at a crossroads in my life and the money would come in handy for moving costs, stuff for my new place, etc.

FabulouslyFab · 07/07/2024 22:16

I’d pay for someone to come and re-level the wobbly flags in my garden and if there’s anything left then a deep clean of my house!
Although if it has to be an actual thing - I’ve seen the perfect personalised number plate for £700, but would never spend my own money on one 😂😂

RabbitsRock · 07/07/2024 22:18

Get laminate flooring right through except the kitchen & bathroom.
Paint lounge, hall, stairs, landing & our room (or rather pay a decorator)
New curtains for our room
Sand down & paint the summerhouse then deck it out with bunting, fairy lights etc.
New fronts for kitchen cupboards if there’s enough left

Whatwouldscullydo · 07/07/2024 22:18

Bras, gym gear and stock up on the best quality tastiest staples for my kitchen cupboards and fridge.

RabbitsRock · 07/07/2024 22:23

Ooh that’s a thought - a deep clean. And very possibly pay a declutterer as I just can’t justify the cost per hour normally!

OldTinHat · 07/07/2024 22:29

Get much needed work done on my house.

Nourishinghandcream · 07/07/2024 22:30

Just had our garden landscaped which has cost far more than I ever thought I would spend on my garden!🥴
If I was given £1k it would go towards a couple of semi mature trees instead of the 3yr old saplings we have just planted.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 07/07/2024 22:33

Power shower in upstairs bathroom.

Or carpet for bedroom.

OnlyTheBravest · 07/07/2024 22:37

New sofa or refit hallway flooring and if I had enough left over I like the idea of a whole house deep clean including the oven.

GreenClock · 07/07/2024 22:38

OldTinHat · 07/07/2024 22:29

Get much needed work done on my house.

Same!
