What would you buy/do?

Plot of land in the countryside and design my own house.

Here here , implants (teeth), small home in Australia (where two of my grandchildren live)

This was in reply to Dollydinkum!

another dog

I would take a holiday in Malta and buy a SMALL proprety while I was there, to enjoy in the sun, whilst I decided where in England I wanted to live.
That wouldn't happen in reality though, as if I won a large amout, I keep 50%, my sister gets 20%, my 2 sons 10% each, my partner 3% and 7 others get 1%.

A dog. I miss my lovely spaniel Jessie so much but have never been able to afford to buy and look after a puppy since she lost her life to leukaemia at age 14.

I was erase the debts (mortgages) of us and our DDs. It would be new cars all round as well. Move back to the south side of Harrogate to one of the beautiful houses that are there, and of course employ a chauffeur, cleaner and gardener!!
That's just for starters!

I would employ a laundry service and have my bedding changed everyday. Getting into clean 100% cotton bedding every night=bliss and I wouldn't have to do the work. Also would employ a chef to cook healthy meal every pm and get my hair washed and dried every other day as I find both a chore. I'd then think very carefully which animal charities to donate to and whether or not handing large sums of money would actually be good for my children ?

A home in Cornwall or Devon with a heated swimming pool. I would employ a driver so i never had to worry about motorways amd narrow country lanes. I would also buy a small flat in London or the outskirts so if i wanted to go to a show, museum, event of some kind or The Savoy i could travel with ease. The family of course could also use these.

Crazygranny, why not apply to The Cinnamon Trust?

I love where we live in the heart of the countryside of the Welsh Marches and we're currently in the throes of planning an orangery/utility room in place of a disgusting old lean-to. It's going to cost quite a lot & we'll have to do it in stages - a lottery win would mean doing it all at once, marvellous! And I'd have a pool put somewhere in a palatial pool house and I'd buy somewhere to retreat to on the Devon coast. Like Mollygo, we'd use a helicopter which our son can fly for us as he's a helicopter pilot by profession. Very handy! Just need to get the right numbers now...

A huge house near the sea in Cornwall.

A full set of teeth and a very expensive haircut. ? it’s nice when you think about it and actually don’t want anything much.

A house in the country with orchards, big patio area with top-of-the-range BBQ, chickens, apiary, a huge kitchen garden and equally large herb garden (culinary, healing and (I'm a Wiccan) magical). A bit of woodland with traditional trees, a large wild-flower meadow. I would love a large pasture with stables for horses, goats and maybe donkeys. I'm a cat person and have always had a dream of breeding cameo kittens, but would also love a couple of dogs. A gym and swimming pool. Inside a ginormous luxury kitchen with range, breakfast bar, island, dishwasher, one of those taps which can provide boiling water, music room, a study/library/office with wall-to-wall bookcases and a games room with pingpong table, maybe pool table and a huge table where we can set up massive jigsaws (3,000 to 6,000 pieces). and at least 3 bedrooms, the master with en-suite loo, shower and wash/handbasin and lots of wardrobe space. The bathroom should have a lovely jacuzzi type fitting and a super large walk-in shower room. Heated towel rails. Lounge with surround-sound Bose, separate woofers, tweeters etc, large TV screen, and comfortable chairs for all the family and a table where we can eat our family meals if we so wish while we watch TV. Then luxury staff quarters for the cook, cleaner, gardener and driver. Finally, a small Wiccan meditation room/altar room where I can practise my magick, study, store my equipment and perform rituals.

Would like to have a village shop/post office and real ale pub with regular quiz nights, dominoes, cards, beer garden and good pub grub.

The other thing I would want to do is see the places and people I don't see as much as I'd like - my French and German friends, my ex-boss in Cape Town and my adopted Brazilian sister and other friends in Rio. And would also wish to go on walking holidays in UK, Europe and world wide.

OK, I don't think it's likely, but we can dream, can't we?

Well I won £30 on last nights lottery so I’m getting there !!
Still it’s not going to pay for the Victorian style cedar green house I’ve been lusting over for years.

A little house next to a river with mooring rights.....

I would like a house with a sea view with a indoor swimming pool . Would like to travel using trains .

A toy boy!
Only kidding, wouldn't change DH for the world. Perhaps a stay at a fitness farm to lose my lockdown weight

I would have the painting and decorating done that the house needs, pay off part or all of the mortgage and buy us a summer home in Spain.

If it was a very big win, I would also give the zoo money to build a big wooded enclosure for their karakals and support the local cat and dogs' home, plus schools for children in the poorest areas of the world.

Illte, this is my mother's wish, but only if someone else is doing the washing and ironing.

Poppyred

I would buy land and build a house to my own specifications. There would be a wrap around porch on the two levels like the ones in the southern states of the USA.

My own dream exactly and I have doodled it so many times over the decades. Plus downland views from the back of this house! To take advantage of those porches,

I might glass-in part of one porch so I could still enjoy the views in the winter.

If I can mention DH’s very specific dream - to buy a bungalow backing onto the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway.

Any GNners got one for sale?

I'd buy a rural property with some land and follow my dream...set up a 'doggy hospice' for those animals in kennels and rescue centres who are near the end of their lives.

Firstly, Worldwide private health insurance. Secondly, time at a health facility to help me lose the 2 stone in weight I want to get rid of.

I would have 2 or 3 weeks at Jason Vale (The Juicemaster’s) Retreat in Portugal doing the juicing, swimming and yoga.

Then would hire a crewed timber framed Turkish gulet type boat and sail right around Corsica, Sardinia and all the Lavezzi islands with an entire day to snorkel extensively and adventurously in every single bay - taking a small handful of close friends...for around 3 months...

Can’t wait to read all the other good ideas here ?
