Me and MrsFC have been discussing what we would do if we won a substantial amount on the lottery say 5 million, I know by Today's standards that is not a substantial amount but it's enough to make a difference.
We have only recently known what it is lke to have surplus of monies so know what it is like to struggle, I am convinced I would make sure all that are dearest to me would be cared for and good and I stipulate GOOD causes would be provided for!
How' bou't you
I'd go farming again until it was all gone!!
If I won the lottery, I'd donate my current home to MENCAP, move to a remote seaside location and spend my time painting, potting, growing my own and shagging Kat - in no paticular order :twisted:

On a more serious note, if we were to win then it would be early retirement, take care of the family and visit the places around the world that we have always wanted to see.
I like to think I'd stay in my house and finally get it finished. I bought it when I seperated from my ex and gutted it (literally) and started again but now, most jobs are still not finished (I actually have a little cupboard in front of the hole where my fireplace should be!) :violin: :violin:
I do wonder though, even if I did win big, lets say the £5million MrFC suggested, whether I'd be able to comfortably go out and spend £50K on a car for instance? Or £300 on a dress? I really don't think I'd find it easy after having had to scrimp and scrape to make sure the kids were fed and clothed for so many years. Maybe I could with practice, but I still think I'd find it difficult, even knowing I had millions in the bank
Just a thought (which I've had to edit twice now lol - alcohol = BAD!!!)
At least you would have lots of wallpaper paste to stick the paper on with......?
And there'd be no danger of getting paint on our best clothes.
Just DON'T ask Will to do any plumbing - someone put the Jacuzzi filter on flush last night and the shower tray filled up and the toilet flushed itself! :doh:
If fact - I think I would just arrange it for when he is away somewhere - just in case!

Amazing how many of us would pay off mortgages, house prices being what they are, they are what so many of us back. We have often thought of what we would do, a house would be high on the agenda, a one bed rented flat and 2 kids is not a good combination ;)
Then like the others here, houses for family and friends. Finally leave work fast and go and do a real job joining the ambulance service full time. Be nice to have the power to help people in need.
As an ambulance crew you would really see the people who need a bit of help, not just physically, but that person who needs a new wheelchair, or a last visit to a dying relative. The remainder of the monies would be quietly sent out from an anonymous solicitor to those people...
