I think I've still got a print out of one with £118,000 and change somewhere. Eveything else is history as the "accident" account normally had £300k + in it until I got married, bought a house, had kids, etc.

Bit of a pointless thread really though as you'll know someone who's minted and others who are skinted.

£159.500 + a few quid already in there.

bought a new house and hadn't sold ours(we had sold but slow going through) so I lent 160k off my parents towards my new one plus my new mortgage.
when our old house sold for £159500 I went to the bank in my usual scruffs to put the cheque in the look on the lads face behind the counter when he saw the amount was a picture!!
sadly a week later I had to write a cheque to my parents for the full amount..dam!!

makes me sick at work sometimes. I work my ass off earning my £7 an hour and i often have to go up the bank and pay in cheques to the works bank account, these are cheques from customers of ours. The other week i had to pay in a 800k cheque! And i have no reason to lie there as its not mine or anything. U wouldnt believe the amounts of money ive seen. Im quite a jealous person in life as i realise u only live once and i'll probably never have that kind of money myself unless a miracle happens and so being at work often makes me feel sick as a pig lol.
