  • Euromillions

    Ok, so you win the Euromillions, what's the first 10 things you do?
    1. Go and pick up LadyWayne - that kind of conversation shouldn't happen over the phone
    2. Drop by the Maserati garage en-route
    3. Pay off the mortgage
    4. Close my Bookface account
    5. Resign
    6. Book a holiday
    7. Pay off my immediate families' mortgages
    8. Pick a charity
    9. Choose my chair - either next to Theo, or Peter.
    10. Wake up and have my breakfast


    If you don't take part, or have no intention of taking part - please do the same here.

      1. Wouldn't go back to work, wouldn't even resign/contact them again. (I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really am unhappy here - being treated like scum and spoken down to on daily basis etc)
      2. Go home, tell my wife I've quit
      3. Mortgage would be paid off
      4. Ponder around some car garages, probably buy one
      5. Get my wife booked in the best hospital ready for Skidlet #2 (Skid's my "nickname", if you don't follow ) to be dropped out
      6. Pay off immediate family mortgages, give them some money
      7. Go away on holiday
      8. figure out which charities to give some money to, research them a bit to see if the money is actually used, rather than just to line peoples pockets.
      9. tell me wife we'd won.
      10. double check the balance has actually come to me

      Others... I know strictly ten, but we'd move, I'd help people out that really did need the help (perhaps not monetary - but something that'd mean something to them, ya know?), I'd probably have weekly massages to ease the stress away from me, from this place.

      No, in all honesty, I don't know. I'd definately leave work, sort my immediate family out then probably get a decent FA in to help me initially manage that amount of money.

          7. Quietly claim my prize.
          8. Hand my notice in (working all three months of it) telling everyone about my exciting new job in some remote county or country.
          9. Quietly disappear into the sunset
          10. Settle debts/mortgages of friends and family through some sort of legal process which I will easily be able to afford.
          11. Live a quiet but comfortable life on my allotment.

            I always said that the first thing I'd do would be to ask Mr Teez to marry me, but seeing as when I told him this it prompted him to ask me, and I did, that is taken care of.
            Apart from naturally checking VERY, VERY carefully that I had actually won, I would keep things very quiet to start with, but invite most of the village to a party (no particular reason given).
            All those who put themselves out to attend will get a party bag at the end containing a piece of cake, a party hat, a blow-tickler and a cheque for two thousand pounds.
            I often point out to God that he knows I would do a lot of good with it. When I see news stories of people struggling with debt through no fault of their own or seriously ill people lacking the funds to get the help they need, I ache to help them and think how great it would be to phone up the BBC etc and say, "You know that news item about the little girl who needs a new prosthetic limb? Phone her mum and tell her it's paid for..."
            So, by the way, if ever I post on here that I'm holding a party that everyone's invited to, you will all come, won't you.......
