I've got the £100 pencil sharpener and the £2000 salt and pepper shakers and I'm eying up the gold plated toilet brush holder for £1480

But I've still got quite a lot of money left over. What should I get?

After I'd bought a vintage Chanel bag (long coveted) I want a house with a hallway and a parking space. We live in a Victorian cottage on a main road. You go straight into our living room so no hall. Murder when it's wet or snowy. Parking used to be okay when we first moved 16 years ago but it's hell now. I've never been good at parking, but it's put me off driving completely now because its so difficult. DH is brilliant and has no qualms so we've drifted into him doing all the driving.

DH wants a Maserati. He's not parking that on the road...

A bath, preferably one you can easily get into and out of.

Showers are great but not relaxing like a bath.

I'm surprised he didn't buy a Vertu phone. It's right up his street.

You can blow the whole budget on this

I think this takes the prize as the biggest waste of £421,312. If anyone can find a bigger waste of more than £400,000 I'll donate a tenner to a charity of your choice (one winner only, my decision is final and SNP and Green Party funds are excluded)

A new bed. Wouldn't need to be too expensive although I like the look of the ones that I think are called sleigh beds . Plus beautiful bed linen.

I'd buy a big tub of Lurpak

A solid gold arse scratcher, studded with diamonds for extra bedazzle and those very stubborn itches

You'd have nothing left from your £400k
