I've just been watching the Only Fools and Horses episode "Time On Our Hands", in which Del Boy and Rodney become millionaires, after discovering that they are in a possession of a rare and valuable antique watch. They got £3.2 million each after it was auctioned.
So, if you suddenly had £3.2 million burning a hole in your pocket, how would you spend it?
Personally i would put a trust fund in place for the kids so they never had to worry ,buy a big house with plenty room for the dogs to roam and of course the most amazing holiday of a life time, a red merc sl and lots of shoe and handbag shopping

I'd give half a million each to my bro, sis and Mum, but half a mill in a trust fund for my son after he finished doing some kind of training for his future. I'd pay the mortgage off on the house I have now and improve it, ie active conversion and decorating. Then I'd get a cleaner and spend some money on courses for me in my chosen future career.
I'd go on a family holiday and then I'd buy an alsation puppy and a camper van and put the rest in a high savings account and just use the interest. Oh I might pay off my debts as well lol.
Probably have a tenner left after all that.

If mine ever have puppies god forbid vets booked just hope nothing has happened so far I am sure I can save you more than a tenner

we could call you robo lolo if they replaced them with mechanical bits lolo.
That's not boring Jayzee, it's practical and pretty much what I said and I'm not boring *pokes out tongue*.
I'll come and see them on Monday (25th Aug) if that is ok Emily? I'd love to see them *jumps up and down with excitement*.

I take it you man property to rent, as there is little money to be made in selling it these days.
