This could be earned or ill gotten.
I'd spend it on upgrading from economy coach class.
I'd also put some of it into attending a classroom course.
And buy a 24carratt gold lord of the rings ring.

I know I should spend it getting the lane fixed or getting new sliding doors as the old ones are kaput and don't open, but I think I would secretly stash it aside so I could have 2 to 3 weeks in late Spring on Gozo or Sardinia for the next 4 to 5 years.

A golf simulator, with launch monitor, projector etc. You'd get an excellent but not pro setup for 10k.

Th's assuming I had the space which I don't and I dread to think what it would cost to erect a building for it these days.

You could then knock out one of your enemies, pin him to the floor with your henchmen, and put a tee in his mouth, place the ball and swing that golf club.

I'd take a leave of absence from work and wander Europe in the camper for a few months living it up on the money. I'd probably have to find a bit more......

I'd buy what's left of what was once the greatest online community in Ireland.

With the remaining €9,997.50 I'd probably give it as redundancy to the part time community manager.

Then I'd turn it off and let it rest in pieces.

Either that or I'd get a couple of nice wool suits, a few pairs of Loake '1884' or 'export range' shoes and some good tailored shirts.

On second thoughts, I'd just get the clobber. The other stuff will happen sooner or later anyway.

That'll do nicely 😜

I thought of something different if holidays are too normal - private singing lessons. I have a really good speaking voice and an absolutely unbelievably terrible singing voice. It seems illogical to sound as bad as I do when singing when my ordinary voice is good. And I would dearly love to be able to sing. Like, really really love it.

Maybe lessons would help? But maybe it's impossible? Can some humans just not sing? Is it an inherited configuration of the vocal chords? My mother was mortifying with her singing. -but she thought she was able to sing, at least I know to never sing in public 😔

The first 1k would probably go on buying two 100Ah LiFePo4 batteries of a brand that I know, rather than one 200Ah battery from a brand I've never heard of.

After that, the rest would follow the recent k's into my retirement home renovation. :arrow:

I'd use it to organise a hit on the three poxy little terriers who live in close proximity to my back garden and bark incessantly, for no fcuking reason whatsoever.

He lost me as soon as he swore off camera...I swear like a trooper at times but consider it entirely unprofessional to include or not edit it out of a video - prat! Anyway, a spare €10k and the last thing in the world I would spent it on would be computer junk. I'd drink the lot or put it on a horse before that.
