    Probably chuck the fat end of it at bikes, sports cars, motorbikes, beer and women then waste the rest.

    £100k would just about nearly pay our mortgage off nicely.

    Buy a nice house with a fairly small mortgage, build a man-cave/observatory in the garden.

    Fix up the basement, paint the house + other assorted odd jobs, new car, new bike, holiday.

    Maybe two new bikes 🙂

    Pay off the mortgage almost to the penny.

    Next question would be what I’d do with the £800 I currently spend on my mortgage each month! As warped as it feels, and I know its soo wrong on many, many levels, I’d get a CX bike with the first months money saved.

    Nothing much apart from putting them in saving accounts with no risky ventures.

    Perhaps will take half of it to re-invest in my small business venture.

    Buy another house, part of one that is.

    100k isn’t a huge amount of cash these days, in the grand scheme of things although I wouldn’t turn it down 😯

    I’d pay off my existing mortgage and use what’s left to have a new bike and a holiday 🙂

    I’d move out of our current house and rent it out, and buy another one with a £100k deposit.

    pay off the mortgage take my mum inlaws and wife and kid on a nice holiday. Then being mortgage free look for a different job which is not in Chris Grayling’s demented gift.

    80k towards the mortgage, the rest would be a holiday and a newer car.

    Pay off the mortgage, get a better car, stick the rest in somewhere with a reasonable return.

    No. Small cafe business perhaps.

    Maggot farm. No, because I don’t harm animal. But for zombie maggots that’s entirely different thing.

    70% of it into stock to be drawn on if we are ever allowed to build on a plot of land the GF has.
    a motor for biking.
    not a lot i actually need right now.

    as said above, 100k isn’t that much… i’d still have to think about working.

    although i guess i could use it to move into something new, or help take the strain off… an extrs 5k/year for the next 20 years (prob longer if well invested) would be nice.

    I’d buy a house, maybe two.

    Mortgage. Boring, but necessary.

    I’d probably blow about £50k finishing our house, and paying our debts off.

    I’d put a few £K in the kids bank accounts for when they’re older.

    use the rest as a deposit on a small flat as a rental investment.

    Predictably… invest it to pay a chunk off the mortgage when the rates go up. £100k not a life changing amount these days. Though I do like the idea of using it to replace the sheds with a proper man cave.

    1. Chunk off Mortgage
    2. Chunk set aside for kids
    3. A trip to Venice for Mrs Seadog (she lived there many moons ago and has always wanted to go back)

    Finish getting the house completely decorated.
    Perhaps get an extension stuck on the back.
    Pay off as much of mortgage as we can with the remainder…

    Pretty boring, really!
