What would you do if you won the lottery?

WP, you have certainly stirred the thoughts, hopes, and dreams of your blogging community today. It’s been good to read everyone’s ideas of where a lottery win would fit into their lives.

Had you asked me last year or 5 years ago, I know my answers would be different. Today, I reckon I know how this would play out.

For two or three days, maybe as long as a week. I wouldn’t tell a soul. No, I take that back. There’s an older lady who has known me all my life. I’d tell her immediately, and she would instinctively know that she would be safe.

Next, I’d call the garage and get 4 new tyres put on my trusted Peugeot.

I’d arrange an appointment ASAP at the local cosmetic dentist to plan new veneers.

We are lucky in the UK to have the NHS, but I would quickly sign up to BUPA, so I was no longer a burden on the system.

My no frills ‘click n collect’ funeral would be paid for in full, immediately.

My new (refurbished) phone now has a crack on the screen and my tablet is tired. I’d like to replace those devices. I don’t need an IPhone.

I think I could get all this sorted relatively quickly.

A visit to Space NK would definetly be on the cards for a few treats plus a bottle of Portrait of a Lady perfume by Frédéric Malle. Something I have lusted after for a very long time.

After the trip into town, I would be tempted to pick up a bottle of Bolly, but probably not as I would need a clear head for a few days. It could wait.

Lastly, I would be scrolling the likes of OnTheMarket.com and WhatCar.com to find a suitable home for us and some nice new wheels.

And then that would be me done. I would carry on my life as usual.

It should go without saying, really, but for those who don’t know me at all, I  would be giving much of the winnings away. Once a financial plan was in  place to keep us ( Patch n me)  secure, I would like to top up on what I’d already and quickly  passed on to friends in need and charities I already support.
