Big Cheque
20 Answers
Hi all. I received a cheque today for £200,000. But I cannot touch a penny of it as am holding it as power of attorney for another person. But I can't help wondering what how I would spend it if that was permissible. A new car, perhaps; a holiday cottage? What would be your choices?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Given that I've got window frames that are falling out, plumbing that leaks, a TV aerial that points closer to the ground than to a transmitter, and countless other things I can't currently afford to fix, some house repairs would be top of my list.
Then, as I've only had a couple of nights away in a hotel on holiday (rather than for work) in the past quarter of a century, I'd try to find someone reliable to look after my cats for a while (with a back-up in case they dropped down dead the day after I went away, as happened the last time I did it!) and take a short break somewhere.
I'd also buy a decent secondhand car. (My current one cost me £350 about 5 years ago, has got over 135,000 miles on the clock and might not last too much longer. I wouldn't want anything 'flash' or new; just something that might have a few more years life left in it than what I've got now).
About £10k though would probably be in the post very quickly to the guy whom I think of as my son.

Give me about a year to sort through all of the options, Anne, and I might be able to answer that!
Here's one possibility though:
