Who Wants to be a Millionaire???

20 Apr 2007

This is a Friday afternnon no brainer and I apologise if it has been done before. wink

What would you do if you won a million pounds? biggrin

Be it the lottery or premium bonds or a horse or whatever.
I've thought about this and decided I don't have much imagination. I don't want a flash car, so a newer model of what I've got would saticfy me. I'm single so I don't need a big house and any way a £1,000,000 wouldn't necessarily buy a big house where I live ho hum. I'm too young to retire.
So
New car
Small house with no mortgage.
Working part time (say Tues, Wed, Thurs)
Nice holidays and damn the carbon emissions
What would you do?

20 Apr 2007

buy land so i could have huge camping parties at my house with hot tubs n stuff and i can have as many dogs and cats as i want
omg i want to be rose n staggy lol
it is true though actually its what i'd love, a house full of labradors

I really would open a sanctuary if I could. At the moment all I have is one cat and 2 new rats.
Although people in our village bring me injured birds and young mice from time to time, even a sickly hedgehog once! biggrin

Not having a dig at you but......
On the Thames Riveria you need to spend at least £500,000 to get a big house and south London must be worse so it'll eat into you capital.

£500k buys a widget cottage in many parts of London and the South East
I'd buy an acre plot of land with fabulous views and seclusion (would need all of the million) here in the South East, sell this house and build a perfect house designed by me with everything I've ever wanted in my home furnishings and all (real home bird me). I'd have a special swinging room for thowing select small naughty parties. Perfect. Not bothered about cars or other material stuff, my home is far more important and I will get great pleasure from building it from scratch. I would then hold other (non swinging)parties in this fabulous location (chargeable to those with money) and free to charities.

A million is easy to spend. House, car, holiday and some left over!
My friend and i discussed what we would do if someone gave us a £1,000 there and then, tax free. We were a bit stumped!

A £1000 would diappear into a shed a base. Fence panels and gone dunno

Personally i would buy a three bed-room house in a quiet area, have myself a little ford KA and happily provide for a future family.
The rest i would spend on getting my mother a house and enough to live comfortable on for the rest of her days, stick money away for my young brothers and sister for when they are old enough and whatever is left save for a rainy day.
Though i would consider getting my eggs frozen too as we don't know what the future holds.
I would still work and be myself, but i will be content that i'm seacure no matter what happens in life.

I'm the same as you guys. I'd love to open an animal sanctuary too. In my house just now I have 2 dogs, a guinea pig and a hamster (oh and 2 kids and Lairdy behave like bloomin'animals most of the time rolleyes

)
If I won the lottery, I would love to have a big field at the back of my medium sized house and keep rescued donkeys :D
Oh and I'd definately want a hot tub...a big one! I'd also travel a lot, so many places I want to see.
Something else that springs to mind, I would have someone come in and cook my meals for me every day. If I never cooked another meal as long as I lived, it would be too soon :lol:

Erm is there any chance I could buy a toyboy :twisted:

I'd have the idyllic self-sufficient farmhouse a la Darling Buds and turn it into a superhome for troubled young people, I'd ban all social workers, tick-boxes & gawpers, spend my days home-baking real family meals & my nights counselling by open fire...
In my head its much much more than just that, but fook does it make me sound fluffy redface

20 Apr 2007

pmsl

@ Perfick
should have bloody known someone would pick up on that :lol2:
thankyou, btw.

:thumbup: too much these days havint to dot the i's & cross the t's with paperwork. I think the real work as you say is now becoming less important in which is frightening.
keep up the good work hun. Need more people in this world like you.
No you are not fluffy just human with feelings kiss

100000 I would probably quite guarded with in this day and age. Would defo go in the bank for starters and we would live off the interest until deciding what to really do with it. Would 100% stop working, hate working. How boring :!:

20 Apr 2007

First thing I would do is get someone in to do my bloody ironing rolleyes

Then I'd buy myself a decent laptop because mine drives me nuts!
Apart from the usual, bigger house, car or save some for the kids, I'd give some to the local hospitals. I have a lot to be grateful for. The special care baby unit and the infertility department would get a fair bit.
Ian would like to buy a house in a road where we used to live. We had terrible neighbours where the woman was a fruit loop and threatened Ian with a knife. So, he would love to buy their house from the person they rent it from purely so he can evict them :lol2:

20 Apr 2007

mmmmmm a million quid.
I would put £30 to it and pay my debt off. wink

Come to think of it I must owe Dawnie, TJ and eveyone else more than that by now for all the help they have given me cool
