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.

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