What would you buy/do?

I would buy a small group of barn conversions, overlooking the sea and open land, but very near a small town.
Just a group of 4 so that we could live in one and each of our children could have one each---to either live in permanantly or as a holiday home

We’d both go down to John Lewis and have a Personal Shopper kit the pair of out from head to toe in gorgeous new clothes and stop on the way back for a champagne and lobster meal!

I would buy one of the pretty 2 bed white houses nearby and keep my flat so that there was always space for family to visit at the same time, then I would go to the nearest cat sanctuary and choose a cat or two or maybe I mean let a cat or two choose me.

I've always wanted a cottage in the New Forest.
My home is a New Forest bungalow. It was once a two bedroomed bungalow, but the former owner, a professional football player, who played for Southampton, converted out of all proportion. It's not right in The Forest, it's in a community on the edge of The Forest, right on the Hampshire/Dorset borderline.

I (We) have pretty much all we need. But I would splash out on a new sewing machine. I've been googling them and the one I'd love to have is £10,000!!!

My wife has been making clothes and other items since she was eight, it's a passion that she has never tired of. I treated her to a bespoke built cabin, where she has a couple of modern Juki sewing machines, an overlocker jukiuk.com/ and a sizeable collection of antique machines.

Oops, pressed send too quickly. On a more realistic level I’d have one of those electric scooters that I see more and more often, or a Segway. I really enjoyed my ‘gift experience’ on one.

Helicopter, the ability to fly it and places to land it - so much easier to visit family all over the country. The extra enjoyment would flying over motorway traffic jams and thinking, “ That’s usually me!”

Custom made shoes and sandals that would not give me blisters and custom made bras would change my world for the better then I would set up support schemes for anyone with Aspergers like my son.

Modern house. Lots of glass, with a 3rd floor drawing room overlooking a deserted Northumbrian beach. With an attached catio.

House next door for DD and GS, so I could see my lovely boy every day.

I would buy some land (with planning permission to build houses on) along the coastline and then build a small close of houses for myself and family to use. I'd live there full time as I really miss being by the sea! I have spent a big lottery win so many times - helping family and friends would be a big part of it too.

If it was a huge amount of money - a perfect house. And I'd like to own a cat rescue. And (since we don't drive) a nice car and a chauffeur to be on call 24/7 to run us wherever we might ever want to go.

Bungalow somewhere rural, then nice teeth.

Obviously I'd buy a house, and employ help etc.
But the very first thing I would buy is a new sofa. I have to spend parts of each day lying flat and my sofa is getting saggy,
(a bit like me really!). So, yes, a good quality new sofa.

Well if I won it now it would be a little late. I wanted to have a place near mum so I could care for her ?
I have never owned my own home so would buy a place where I am and probably still buy somewhere where I'm originally from as I have family and friends there still.

I would buy plot of land and have a chalet bungalow built, ( did this before many years ago with ex husband)had a house before! Obviously it would depend on how much I’d won, have a couple of guard dogs as we have always had, indoor swimming pool, oh and a Range Rover,

Definitely a new house, in a quiet location, but in the same general area where I live now. It would have huge windows to let in lots of light. There would be a heated swimming pool and a summer house in the grounds garden. A new car, but nothing too fancy, as long as it is reliable and comfortable.

Oh, and a gardener/handyman and a cleaner would also be on my shopping list

A round the world trip

Dental work ,illness has given problems then 2/4weeks at health spa with all the services to help with pain with minimal drugs.

I've always wanted a cottage in the New Forest. I dont want to move now so it could be a family holiday home. I would splash out on a new front door, triple glazing and thick plush carpets throughout our current home.

I (We) have pretty much all we need. But I would splash out on a new sewing machine. I've been googling them and the one I'd love to have is £10,000!!! Would also buy DH a new car, perhaps electric. But its never likely to happen because we don't do the lottery ?

A yacht and learn how to sail it

Buy a flat in London , have a cleaner and a cook here at home
Move into a one level house and have a hydropool out the back .

On not shallow I would like to fund some of those drive around laundries for the homeless. There are also ones with showers for them .

Mmm, I often fantasise about this! I'd love to buy a pretty cottage with roses round the door.
I expect that would be considered a bit mundane by Camelot but I really don't want a sports car or a helicopter, designer gear or a fancy bag - they're just 'things' aren't they? You don't need that sort of nonsense, do you?

I would also employ a cleaner and a gardener! Apart from that I'd buy a second home by the sea. It would be big enough for all the family. I might even stretch to staff to change the beds and clean when we'd gone home.

I'd buy a flat in London so that my son could live there. He's a freelance musician who has really struggled and yet needs to be in London to be able to undertake such work as there is to be had. He'd never accept a flat as a gift but if it was mine and I asked him to flat sit... At least it would take care of his housing costs.

If I won a LOT of money, I'd hire a chef, chauffeur and a cleaner!!

For myself I'd have a few days with a friend being pampered and fed healthy tasty food. A few facial treatments and massages too.

All this before the BIG SHOP AND GIVEAWAY?
