It's interesting to know what some of you would do. Hubby says to me, "You would give it all away", I would, just to see the happiness I would cause some special people in my life. But not before I'd bought a big house in the country somewhere and a horse for me! I have a special charity which is the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon and they use the donkeys to give autistic and disabled kiddies rides. If you saw the childrens little faces, you would cry, I did. I'd like to give them lots of money, bless 'em.

I would go and get my Trigger back, then buy a slate cottage in wales, where I would have a big field where he could run around in, I would have goats, and ducks, and a little shetland pony. I would donate a million to fund a kid's hospice, and another million to create a suite of fantasy rooms where the kid's could enter fairy land, if only for a day. I would buy my Andy a real posh leather suite. oh what wouldn't I do. lol

sorry trish no myrtles!! lol susie

Susie, perhaps we have got a 'thing' between us! lol - you haven't got a Myrtle in the family too have you (for the female pig).

lol!!!! trish that was my grampys name!!! susie

Someones got to win so why not one of us! (I quite like the name Arthur for the pig)

here we go then!!! if i won the lottery i would also give my kids enough money to buy a house each,pay for mine outright,and buy a small holding so i can have all my animals in cluding a pot bellied pig!!!! i would be in my element looking after them all and breeding my beloved bulldogs. oh well!!!(sigh) no harm in dreaming is there lol susie

Susie, course we'll get through it, there's always something around that corner! Now to get back to the topic of winning the lottery - I'd want Alan to retire totally, maybe go for a cruise, give the kids a few thousand each for now and some more later when they decide to settle down (it must happen at some time!). Don't think I'd want to move as I like it here but would totally re-decorate and have new furniture.

trish i dont blame alan not wanting to go back to teaching,i wouldnt want to be in a class room of teenagers!!! as you know terry done a 4 year apprenticeship in carpentry when he left school so he is fully qualified,altthough he has been fitting double glazing for years. he too has got a fork lift licence and has been an installation manager for a nationwide double glazing company. he will get something but its worrying not knowing where the moneys gonna come from to pay the bills! i dont earn a lot as i gave up doing evenings last year:( i suppose i could go and do some cleaning calls for the oldies lol we will get through this trish.us wycombies are strong!!!!! lol susie

Susie, Alan can turn his hand to a lot of things, admin is his main game but among other things he can drive a lorry, has a fork lift licence, knows transport well and if it looks like we'll become destitute he can always go back into teaching although there's not much call for maths teachers these day. That's definitely a last option though - much too dangerous now!!

trish yep,its a bugger aint it:( he had a meeting yesterday and was told they were finishing friday the thing is weve still got a mortgage and bills to pay like you have knowing terry he wont be out of work for long.even if its just odd jobbing.at least hes a qualified chippy,not that that means a lot thesedays does it i hope alan finds something,mind you they are not getting any younger are they and employers want young ones cos they dont have to pay them so much!!! susie

Oh Susie, not you too! Alan will be booted out at the end of July - just when the school kids will be looking for jobs too. Hope hubby (yours and mine) finds something quick.

right now we could do with it:( as from friday hubby will be unemployed!! susie

travel the world, have a nice comfortable life, pay off the mortgage and buy a place for my parents, leave my current job and setup my own business, just something to occupy me.

Buy a time machine and go back and ask my Hubby's Granddad why I can't find his marriage to Martha!!!LOL Chris

What would you do if you won 2 or 3 million on the Lottery?
