Get yourself bigger boobs and a facelift.

And see if they can reattach your arse.

The fact that you're asking the question implies you don't have confidence to make your own investment decisions so contact a reputable wealth manager like St James's Place and they'll build a portfolio of investments for you based on your assessed  level of risk.

steer clear of property in the uk....migration shifts will be bad news.

do not invest in anything including uk property.

Go to a property auction.

do not invest in anything including uk property.

dont quite agree with that.
i think there are plenty a long term bargains to be had property wise if you know your areas in the eurozone...if you dont though then your guessing.

Put some into Ladbrokes shares.
Underperforming and 2 big names have left the boardroom recently.
Expect an even bigger name to come in and give them the shake-up they so desperately need.

buy a house in my hometown, Tavira.

Nice historical center, 5 months of Summer, no true Winter. There's an island inside a natural park with a great beach, warm water between July and September. You can rent to tourists when you're not there.

I used to visit Tavira 20 odd years ago...there was a good German restaurant.....liked Tavira very much

big fan of the Algarve myself.

st james wealth management at 3% charges- you gota be joking- went to one of their seminars last year- not impressed

tavira sonds nice- i'll have a look

all depends on your risk appetite

Better put it in a selection of trackers than trust your money to St James Place or similar.

Buy 2 houses for 80-90k each ... Rent them both out for £550 month

Keep the remaining 70k for when the stock market crashes & Lump on

To be frank i'm not sure what their ongoing charges are...all i know is i've invested with them at various dates between 2003 and 2007 and so far they've made a 130% profit.
