Say your parents transferred £5000 into your bank account...

What would you do with the money?

Give it back? (because you feel you can't take from your parents, not because they transferred it by mistake)

Buy yourself something nice?

Put it on the mortgage
Well… if it was an accident, you'd have to give it back. You can't exactly steal money from your own parents :lol:

If they intended to give it to you, that's a different story :yep:

Put a cheque of £2,500 in each of my Biology papers...
What, if it was an accident? Of course I'd give it back, why on earth would you steal from your own parents of all people...
Assuming its intentional (ofc give back if accidental)

Same as Id do for any large money sum given as a gift!

And then it falls out when the invigilator collects your paper and Smelly Pete from the other class swipes it up, sniggering
Well this is my plan:

- iMac 27 inch 5K
- rest into savings.

Pete is a little sh*t.
Spend 40% on a PC
Save the other 60%

Yes, I like PCS :tongue:
Put it towards my wedding and pay off some bills.

Oh well then I probably would accept it. I'm pretty sensible with money though so it's not like I'd be very wasteful with it.

Put it towards a student loan, providing I end up going to university. :smile:
I'd accept it as a gift and save it! :yep:
I'd ask them where they managed to get £5000 from first of all.
