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 ?

I would give it to my daughter to help with her Uni expenses.......a decent Laptop, and the RADAR program would eat it all up.

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

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

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.
