I would buy a large house with huge gardens and stables, then set up a business running wedding cars and hopefully in the future extend that so that it would involve the horses and carriages and then maybe even involve part of my very 'large' house as a wedding venue.  The gardens would be stunning and I would get main contractors in to do all the hard work then I could keep up the day to day running. 

Above the stables would be apartments that my sisters and her 2 girls could stay in and help with the running of the business (she is accountant, eldest girl and hubby are chefs, youngest loves horses!!)

On the side I would also love to rescue animals!

THAT IS ALL!!! ::)

Just checked OH's Euromillions and he got 2 numbers, so has won £3.50. So a profit of £1.50 (£2 for the ticket).  Not sure it will make a big change in our life style, but he does seem to have more luck than me, I never even get one number.  ;D ;D ;D
Can't understand people that say they wouldn't like to win a large amount, as could always give most to charities and just keep enough to not have to worry about bills.
Think I would get a new computer as this is slow and freezes up, and probably go to a private dentist to get my teeth done, as NH one keeps telling me about gum disease etc. etc. and private one was much nicer, although I suppose I was paying him to be nice to me.
Take Charlie to the vet to have his fur trimmed, but will do that soon anyway.  Probably give most of it away to children so they could pay off their mortgage, but apart from that would have to have a good think, but don't suppose it will ever happen.
Might splash out on an expensive bottle of perfume, and maybe a new cooker as the oven needs cleaning, I have quite simple tastes really.

me too  ;D ;D ;D

Love that cooker idea..mm car needs cleaning, carpet too,I have some clothes that need dry cleaning, shoes need polishing,

Great idea, it is amazing what a bit of extra money could do. I could hire smeone to do it ir replace it.

Come to think about it..I need cleaning..I wonder if I can hire anyone to do me.detail of course ;D ;D

I bought a ticket and got four numbers - got very excited.  Ended up with £42.   Figured that the permutation of three numbers should have got me £30 so it was only £12 extra for all four.  Felt ripped off.   Decided I was unlikely to 'win' again so haven't bought another ticket.
