  How would you spend Charlotte's millions?
Updated 25 February 2004, 18.54

This weekend Charlotte Church turns 18 and will be able to get her hands on her multi-million pound fortune.

But the singer claims she doesn't need lots of money at the moment, and plans just to buy a car and have a couple of birthday parties.

So how would you spend Charlotte's millions?

Massive spending spree or keep it in the bank?

Would you blow it all in one go and buy a local football team or maybe a small island?

Whatever you'd do with the cash e-mail and let us know!
