What have you got in your life worth more than £10 million?

Maybethisyearornext · 28/06/2024 13:14

On my way to the hospital this morning, if I had been given a choice between £10 million and a clear biopsy, I would have chosen the negative biopsy result, which I now have!

When I was in my 20s and told I was infertile, if I often thought if I was given the choice between £10 million and motherhood, I would chose motherhood, which I then got in my 30s, and still have (adult children now!)

So I have my family I thought I would never have, and i have decades left with them, rather than the few months I was warned might be all that was left.

I have a grand total of £20 million in my pocket this morning! (well, not in cash - but in value!)

What have you got worth more than gold? Lets have a happy thread xx

My DH and my time ( I’m retired).

Children > Family > Cats > Partner

In that order, actually 10million is a lot.

Children > Family > Cat (one’s an arse hole)

My children. For another £10m I'd like ds2 not to have been born with a congenital heart defect incompatible with life.

Can’t lie, the 10 mil is more attractive to me than anything I can think off

Surprisedcupcake · 28/06/2024 14:05

My family for sure but especially my daughter. She means everything to me. And after years of IVF she means all that much more. I've never known a love like it.

MessyNDepressy · 28/06/2024 14:02

Congratulations OP! What a lovely post.

My son, my dog, my mum, my cats and the fact that we are all in good health. Also that we live in a relatively safe and stable country overall. I’ll need to bear all this in mind when I don’t win the lottery again this weekend 😂.

Can we spend the £20 million to get out of a situation instead???

What do you want to get out of

Time with my kid.

I wouldn't swap it for all the money in the world now or ever.

PlantDoctor · 28/06/2024 13:42

Congratulations, OP! Both on the biopsy and the family you wanted :)

I'd have to say my family too. Cheesy but true! Other than that, I would say loving in Cornwall again. I lived away for many years for uni and jobs, but am very happy to back back here to raise my DD.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 28/06/2024 13:42

So many things.
My health, my children, my long-term friendships, my dog (although raise the offer a couple of million and you can have her), my writing...

I consider myself very very lucky indeed. Poor, but lucky...

QueenofTheBorg · 28/06/2024 13:41

Congratulations OP!

So many things:
My health
Lovely husband
Great children who are pretty happy
Some fantastic long standing friends
A job I like
Enough money
A house I love
The ability to sleep anywhere, pretty much, despite menopause
HRT!

DH and our two children.

My DM, we had a somewhat volatile relationship when I was younger but now we've both mellowed and value each other hugely.

My work and the sense of pride, feeling of making a difference and continually learning and growing that it gives me.

PermanentTemporary · 28/06/2024 13:39

A generally functioning body. Tbh, being able to have regular poos isn't something I take for granted, I have occasional bouts of mild constipation and they're awful (I was going to say shit...)

Living in a country that doesn't have tanks on the street and - despite all the things like pot holes and sewage and train cancellations - is still a developed country with low crime rates.

Thingamebobwotsit · 28/06/2024 13:37

So I had a pretty crap start to life. Not the worst but certainly not the best. If I could tell my 15 year old self to hang in there I would, because actually - although we all have bad days - my life is great now and I couldn't have imagined it back then. I wouldn't swap it for all the tea in China. And it is true a loving family and a roof over your head really is all you need. I wish everyone could have them.

Lovely idea for a thread!

Sunshineclouds11 · 28/06/2024 13:36

My kids and mum

StMarieforme · 28/06/2024 13:35

My children, their families, and my friends, some of whose are 53 year friendships!

Congratulations on the excellent health news!

My dog has, in a way, made my life so much worse, but think I'd probably turn down the £10 million (as long as the offer didn't coincide with the dog letting me know we needed to go outside for a shit at 3am)

😂

Instant answer - my kids. No amount of money is worth more than them.

My creativity. A few years ago I had depression and couldn't think of any ideas at all, like a creative block, and I started praying it would come back because it was like losing a best friend

May I ask please Allthislovelygreen , did it come back naturally or did you do anything to make it come back, or did you just start "doing"?
