Went from £50 to £1350. Done this before, and was wondering how many other people have got such stories, and if anyone has any better? Also, any ideas on what to to with the winnings! :D

Option A - Keep doing what your doing incresing stakes and hopefully make more money
Option B - Spend it on something nice and be thankful and start again with £50

I would choose A personally

Once had two pound fifty in a bookmaker years ago and placed it on a greyhound tricast, didnt pay much about £30 netted as did a perm but many bets later including 2 big doubles countless singles and the next day 4 winners in a canandin I had one thousand five hundred, equivalent to betfair turning its initial million investment into around 4 billion quid.

Very good, how did you win it?

Why not go on a nice sunny holiday away from this dump.

a friend of mine went from 30 quid to 100k - done a lot of it back over time but probably half he spent on car, upgrades to house and living it large.

A great effort but if you are ambitious you should re-invest as much as you can and start building your stakes gradually.

If you are disciplined in 5 years time you'll look back with amusement at this post.  As someone once told me, "great things can grow from small acorns".

Jonpeter : Went from £50 to £1350.

How many bets Jon? If it was one you should probably withdraw and spend the money, but if it was say 100 you should know how you did it and do it again :)  You do know how you did it don't you?
