Lose the mortgage and the car loan. Buy the house I *want* instead of the best I can afford. Buy a new bike (my Yamaha's getting a bit worn).
I'd also buy my mum a smaller car (she's not too comfortable in the one she drives). And a couple of puppies. And a private audience with Cliff Richard (so long as I don't have to be there).
I'd buy my dad a yacht. Nothing too big, but something comfortable that he could sail to the Med if he wanted. And an Aston Martin. And at least 2doz spare tyres for it.
I'd pay my brother's mortgage off, and maybe buy him a nice house if he felt like moving. And I'd buy him the Porsche Boxter he wants (or maybe a 911 if that takes his fancy with unlimited funds).
I'd buy my gran into a care home - a nice one - on a lifetime payment.
I'd buy a few things for my mates (the usual paying-off of mortgages, a Subaru Impreza WRX here, a new house there).
I'd fling a couple of billion at charities around the world to help educate people, and provide basic services to those who don't have them (clean water, basic medical facilities etc).
I'd redecorate my house and get all the high-tech gadgets I'd like to put in it.
But the biggie - I'd pay a large group of engineers in advance to train me to fly jets, then rockets, build me a Saturn 5, and send me to the moon and back. I would *love* to know the feeling of sitting on the top of one of these things, blasting away into the blue yonder.
Then I'd be finished - big(ish) list.
