I find your Alt-Q too insulting to warrant even the most contemptuous of replies
BGB's idea is pretty top-notch except that there's no such thing as just buying a house in a 48 hour period. Does the cash have to be spent, or can I simply stick it in a high-interest savings account? 5% on a mil is £50K a year

Unless it's spent it's gone after 48 hours

Ok then I'd buy lots of cars, then I'd sell them and begin the process of buying aforementioned stuff

In which case, having had enough of this sensible investment malarky
I'd stick it all in my account and go MENTAL on the internet with my debit card

I'd pay a builder, cash up front, to stick an extension on the house

I'd fill it with shoes before Ms Foxtrot got home from work

Then I'd remind her that she said if I could ever afford to buy her a room full of shoes she'd marry me

Best keep a few grand over

"Pay a builder , cash up front, to stick an extension on the house"
A-ha-ha-ha-hardy-har-har-har-ha.
Obviously never dealt with a builder from round here.

Don't even know where "round here" is
but the answer would still be no.

I see your point, but it was the only way I could think of to get it done! OK, I'd hire a REPUTABLE builder... oh, I see where this is going. Dang.
