David,
You should buy some happiness.
It simply has to be available with that much investment

In all seriousness, I really like the quote buried deep in the thread

"you should buy a memory"

Seriously, I was having the same thoughts, althgough a 5 figure sum.

The fact is I have pretty much everything I want, so I invested it in higher risk and non risk investments between 1 and 5 years. How exciting.

Looking after the future will give more enjoyment than looking after now.

Lee - I am not sure everyone has caught on yet!! Despite all the clues in the first four or five responses!!



Muzz - if money can't buy you happiness then you are shopping in the wrong store! Get out of LIDL and get into Waitrose
