I'd like to book myself a week away somewhere so I could think.

Just a guest house or something, by the sea. smile
What a lovely thought. Particularly as I don't do the lottery.

I think the advice if you win loads of money is to buy something relatively small but a luxury you’d not normally buy yourself. A drawer full of individual knickers sounds a good place to start.
I’m having some hand dyed mohair from the borders and the jumper (about £100) and the jumper pattern to knit it.

I think you should do the shopping first, Lizbethann55, before you bin your old ones. smile

I can't think of anything of the top of my head - I'm sure I will though if I give it a bit of thought....

I don't have any underwear I'm ashamed of, so for me it would be a new car as mine although in great condition it's 15years old so due for replacement.

If you are like me and play the lottery, you will know exactly how you are going to spend your mega million pound winnings. But before you help all your family and friends, find a cure for all the worst diseases, help the planet, save the world and then go on the holiday of a lifetime , what will be your first treat yourself cos you can purchase? I intend to empty my knicker draw into the bin. All those with the over stretched elastic. The white ones which are grey from being in the wrong wash. The ones where the fabric is so worn they are virtually in holes. And the ones you most definitely don't want to be wearing when you get run over by the proverbial bus. Then I will replace them all. Nothing too fancy. M&S will do nicely, but the individual ones not the multi packs. I might even buy matching bras too.
