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?

Ask if it was a mistake first of all

Then subject them to a lengthy interrogation about where they got the money from

Conclude that the money was stolen

Ring up my second cousin who is a police officer

Probably put most of it in an ISA with good interest
and maybe a short holiday... idk where. Maybe to visit CERN and the LHC???

I gamble and I skrimp :innocent:

Do you skrimp because you gamble?

Or gamble to increase the amount you have to skrimp?

Well what's the precise meaning. I demand precision.

Haha, no. I did mess up over-running a basic Roulette system back in the day and was down like £700 at one point, but my luck's been relatively good since then (focused primarily on sports betting, plus a little small chips poker now and then)

Haha, what a bizarre notion! Rarely do I place big bets, and when I do I usually win e.g. on World Cup finals and Wimbledon

What's the little fella doing in the animation..

I tell you what is bizarre. As I read the part what a bizarre notion, the song notion came on my Spotify playlist by KoL :headfire:

crazy scenes!!

Do you do accumulators ? I love sports betting but it's so addictive :teehee:

Just bet on Novak and you're safe these days :yep:

Although imagine betting on a serena grand slam this year. That US open final tho :sad:

I don't know I'm gonna have to check him out again.

If you use anonymous for reasons that aren't legitimate then you're abusing it. If you do it a lot, well it escalates and can result in a ban. Z33 has an anonymous addiction and is rehab this week to help her overcome it. :yep:

My parents give me money all the time, although not usually that much at once. But if they did though, I'd just use it for living expenses whilst at college, maybe buy a few music festival tickets, and then when summer comes around and I've finished the course, I'd use any leftover to go on holiday :biggrin:

Give it back to them. Well, mention it and hope they don't want it back :tongue:

I got awarded a fair amount of money in scholarships recently. Saved half, spent the other half on holidays - took my boyfriend to NYC for his birthday and booked our summer holiday, a month-long roadtrip round the Canadian Rockies.

I'd wonder where they got that sort of money, and what they wanted from me. :p:

My parents are great, but they don't have that kind of disposable income or savings!

But say £5,000 just appeared, and I didn't have to give it back, I'd honestly put most of it into saving for renting a house (if not actually leave and rent said house, since combined with my own savings I could probably live on it for a year even if I couldn't find work).
