If you cared about this old lady as much as she obviously cared about you.... why don't you buy something that you will always have, rather than something that will wear out or get used up ? Then years on in the future, you can look at it/show it to your children/grandkids, and say.... I bought this with part of my inheritance from.......That way you're keeping her memory alive in at least one small way. :angel:

Your profile says you are 18 so $10K in Canadian (roughly the same as Australian) dollars is not much really when you get a few years older you will realise. However you are 18 so I recommend travelling with it (probably travelling will be most fun for you when you are late teens/early twenties) or something else you will love doing. Then come back afterwards and go to college/university and do your thing for a few years.

£GBP... and I don't even like going outside so travelling is probably not an option.

I can't stress this strongly enough, so I'll repeat it a few times for good measure:
TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL!
If it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger.
Also, it may be quite enjoyable.

If you don't even like going outside then you especially should travel. Contrary to popular belief, it's not really about the sight-seeing. It takes you completely out of your comfort zone and makes you face up to everything about yourself and who you think you are. Nothing challenges everything about you than being surrounded by a different culture that doesn't "get" any of it. That's a good thing. It'll make you better able to handle anything life throws at you later, how to be flexible, how to deal with people from all walks of life, and the chaos that RL actually is no matter what the greeting cards say. It's something that I think people who never travel in their life miss completely out on.
That and no matter how much a pain in the ass it sounds like on paper to do, it really is a blast. For me, it was the first time I felt truly free and not having some person or some institution watching over my back what I was supposed to be doing ... you don't get that feeling often in life.

Demagogue just said what I intended to, but in prettier words. Those were my exact reasons. Not for where you're going, but from what you're doing getting there.

wtf we're only 3 pages in and hardons are mentioned.
Oh well.
I hear all these reasons for travelling, but I am fundamentally (hurr hurr) too lazy.
