A work colleague of mine just found out that he is owed about £2000 in council tax rebate as the house he's lived in for 30+ years had been in the wrong tax band. The lucky guy should be getting a huge cheque within the next couple of months and I think he's contemplating a cruise around the Mediterranean!

How would you invest or spend such a sum of money?
