What would YOU do if you inherited £20000?

[MoveYourArmsLikeHenry]

Hi all. Just exactly as the title says What would you spend it on?

Laser eye surgery for me

Good cut and colour for me (ie not the local Mrs Snippy Snippy Hair Salon)

Pay out any outstanding debts

A year with a private trainer

And save the rest

a decent pony club pony for ds4, and a nice yearling/2 yr old for me to have when dmare retires eventually. Rest on an allweather arena providing i could fool DH it was cheap (not being horsey he sees no reason to spend £15 k on a 20x40m area !)

Pay a chunk off mortgage if I had to be grown up

Buy a van to convert to a camper and drive to Siberia if I don't have to be. Grown up.

Tricky.

I would spend a small amount on something frivolous that I would never buy otherwise (like a Bally handbag or a Hermes scarf) and use the rest to finish off the renovations to our rental property.

This is happening to me in a few weeks! It is going to be our house deposit! 3 more months and we will hve saved up for all the fees etc associated! Can't wait! We would never get on housing ladder without grandads help!

Pay about £15 k off the mortgage and use the rest to get married and have a honeymoon/holiday

Buy loads of booze and crisps, then I'd probably just fritter the rest away

New kitchen
Get married then have a holiday of a lifetime/honeymoon with the DCs

We actually inherited a bit more than that a few years ago we paid off debts, bought a much needed new car then spent the rest in a house extension.
