Say you were given £10k to treat yourself, what would you buy?

[Dayvo]

I’d continue my circumnavigation of Australia, by bike of course, heading west (clockwise) from Adelaide all the way round (where possible) the coast(ish) roads until I arrived back in Sydney.
Then I’d return to the place I liked best and just blend in (illegally of course) with the locals and see my days out there.
Failing that, I’d buy a secondhand Skoda Yeti for the 10,000 grand.

10k is huge and something I've never even contemplated before. To be really selfish it would have to be a month off work maybe 2 to do a cycle tour. Lovely

Very unlikely to happen so I won't bother giving it a thought.

I've been there - having won £12,500 in 2008, and £5000 earlier that year.

Me? I bought a nice car (to me) and we went on a family holiday, which we couldn't afford the previous year. Or we would have done, had a not won one of those as well, so we had the nice holiday a year later.

Fast forward 14 years and I'd buy a nice car (to me) again plus probably upgrade one of my bikes.

Eminently sensible. I would do similar in regards to utilitarian expense. I'm a man of meagre means.

A work mate about 15 years ago won £74,000 on the lottery. Cue, big TV, stereo, flashier car etc. 5 years on and he's appearing on the daytime TV show 'Don't pay, we'll take it away.'

Short sighted.

Mrs Gunk could soon find a use for 10k, however if I could get away with it, I would buy a 1970 T120 Bonnie, IMO the most beautiful bike ever made.

Ah, forgot about new clubs.

Absolutely no idea

Been thinking about this since my earlier comment and i still can't think of anything

It wouldn't cost you that much unless its a massive house. A friend has just had his done in grey slate, it looks beautiful and it was just over 4K.

yea we had quotes around that ball park , also need a downstairs loo
