If you were gifted £1000 today

[oObyeOo]

What would you do with it?

Go on a holiday.

I would clear my Amazon wish list. An ice maker, a new microwave (nothing wrong with mine but I want one with buttons to set the time not a dial because I never get it right), a shit ton of books and some crafting bits.

Assuming the ‘rules’ of no bills etc.

Go out for a nice meal with my closest 3 family. I'd order lobster and fries and salad with garlic butter, and a cocktail! Taxis there and back and a couple of bottles of prosecco for home. Maybe a bottle of nice whisky or brandy and some posh cheese for after as well at home.

Anything left over I'd probably buy some beauty stuff as I've got a bit into that again after 20 years of avoiding it.

So, when can I expect the payment? 😁

A new big garden shed. Ours is currently floorless and roofless.

Buy food, start a new job tomorrow haven't worked for 2 months due to my health. Have £2.77 in the bank until the 22nd and only freezer food for 5 people!!

I got a bonus of around £1500 this month and couldn't think of anything to spend it on so mostly used it to pay off a loan!

Do you mean "gifted a shit"?

Add it to my kids instrument fund. They currently have a rented one and they are so expensive!

I'm saving up to see a private menopause specialist so I'd do that, then get a deep clean of my home, and then do a food shop but buy all of the nice stuff instead of the cheap stuff.
(Shocked myself with how boring I sound!)

Pay some of my debts

Honestly: nothing. I’d just put it in the bank.

Love it!

I'd get my broken teeth fixed at the dentist - that'd be £485 spent! Then I'd take my car to the garage to find out what that rattling noise is 🤔

Otherwise I'd take my daughter away for a holiday 😊

Plaster the lounge/ diner

You sound lovely 🥰

Use it towards getting a stud wall put in and a bed so I can have a small space of my own and stop sleeping on a camping bed and not have to get my clothes out of a suitcase daily.

Honestly: nothing. I’d just put it in the bank.

Same. Bit boring...

Straight to savings. And perhaps, £150 for a jumper from toast...

Well £1k isn't going to change anyone's life but if it was used as an unexpected gift that's a beautiful thing for both parties - I'd like to use it up paying for other people's shopping at Christmas.

I’d make a start on getting my teeth fixed and get a plumber in for our dodgy toilet!!

Gold chain and pendant - £180
Bag for work - £65
Japanese meal out with family - £100
Handyman to construct 2 x beds, and do a few little odd jobs around the house - £300 approx.
