I would buy a larger house (well anything is larger than what i have lol) in a more rural setting ............... and a new car, or two maybe lol

I'd give some to my parents and brother, and any friends in dire need.

A few charitable donations.

And I'd set up a cattery for abandoned/homeless moggies :O))

If I had won the $22million last Sat night (here in NZ) I would have brought my husband home and hired people to help me look after him and take him on lots of long walks! How is that for something different!.

Just be glad that my husband could retire - the poor thing is having to do far too much since my stroke and I feel very vunerable on my own and a lovely cruise but it would have to set off from this country as I have been advised not to fly for a time. If we won a lot I would certainly buy my children houses as all renting at the moment and it would only be right to give some to a good cause

I would buy a large bungalow that would accomodate 2 fully trained care nurses and my dear, dear mum who is in residential care (being looked after wonderfully by present staff) so that I could be onhand 24/7 to cuddle and care for her.
Give her a goodnight hug and morning hug and all the hugs she so deserves.

Well, I just came home from hols and checked my tickets, have won a tenner on one of my lines!

Would have been much happier with a few more noughts on the amount but better than nothing I suppose!

Dear TartanLassie

Hello

I always behave! (Ahem, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

No, a bit poorly but hopefully be better soon. Thats why I am not playing nicely alongside work mates!

If I did win, I might BUY Genes Reunited!

See you when you come back to the boards.

Take care of yourself.

Very best wishes

Buy a new house that needs absolutely NOTHING doing to it. Our house needs so much maintenance that we don't know where to start - and haven't got the inclination to start even if we knew where!!
