It's Only A Grand
 

Not exactly enough to set you up for life but supposing you happened to win £1,000 through some means or other,how would you spend/save it? Pay your gas bill?Go on holiday?Some home improvements?A grand does'nt go far these days so how would you manage your windfall ?

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I would pay off bills then that would free up money throughout a few months that I can spend willy nilly and not feel guilty lol

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I would buy a new cooker for start, then maybe have a little holiday with the boys

£1000 doesnt go far at all so couldnt do much with it paying bills wise

I'd buy my pets a luxury bed, then maybe they'd stop trying to get into mine.

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I'd just put it to one side, until it was needed, you never know what crops up from week to week, and having a little to fall back on is a good idea, especially if you've won it, just forget about it until its required

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I would decorate the front room of the house we just bought:D

Re: It's Only A Grand

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I would be boring and sensible and put it into our savings account!
A bit for bills too,can't afford to splash out at the moment unfortunately!

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

I don't really need it; so, I would probably give the money to the Kingston Humane Society ... maybe I would keep enough back to get me a Texas mickey of Crown Royal.

Re: It's Only A Grand

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

The money, or the Texas mickey:confused:;)

Re: It's Only A Grand

think i'd better start doing the lottery hey

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

Are we talking pounds here, or $Canadian?:D

Re: It's Only A Grand
 

In 1995 I won £5000 on the Civil Service Lottery. My husband had set up in business, after being made redundant, and some of it went towards paying his VAT. The rest went on a holiday and a new front door!

If I won £1000 today it would go towards the new bathroom that's scheduled for 27/10, the new(ish) car I want before Christmas or the cost of painting/decorating most of the house since arthritis has prevented me from DIYing like I used to.

I used to think £1000 was a fortune. These days, it's small change. :(

Re: It's Only A Grand

I would have to say, Xmas would be sorted:D:D

my kids come first;)
