I think I’d put £15k aside for home improvements, would overpay around £6k on our mortgage, deposit £1k/£2k into my pension and would use the rest for a holiday and a few treats.

What about you?

Put it towards making my house liveable in again as I have been living in hotels for the past 2 years, nobody wants to do the work and my insurers are also doing nothing.

Mortgage is paid off, but the house could definitely do with some home improvements so I'd be redecorating, buying some new furniture, and doing up the garden.
Edited to add forgot to say I'd hopefully have a bit left after that so a nice holiday as well!
