Buy premium bonds! (can't remember what the minimum purchase is - £50 or £100) - maybe you'll be a millionaire and you can always get your stake money back if you need to.

Definitely invest most of it; leave a little bit for something nice! Remember the "miracle" of compound interest!!

Well done Kazz, Premium Bonds for me too. A colleague at work recently invested (not sure of the amount) but she has won once in December (she got £50) and again in January (got another £50)
