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

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

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)

My adult dc, my dh, and my grandchildren (one here, one nearly here) They bring me more joy than I ever thought possible, wouldn't trade them for anything.

My dogs.

I know, right! pets can mean so much. Sometimes you just find a furry soul mate, and it is hard to explain to someone who has never had that. It is something that fits, and can't be made to happen with an animal that isn't quite compatible with you, no matter how lovely they are. Its a special bond. I have had more than 20 animals in my life, but only one true animal soul mate, and was lucky enough to enjoy her love for 14 years

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

Partner, sister, friends, cats ❤️

That's wonderful news OP. Congratulations on the all clear!

I often think this way. My husband, my children, my health, mobility and any one of my family's future health (siblings, husband, parents, children) are all things that I would not trade for 10 million.

My sons and my husband.

My husband in particular has brought me more happiness than I could ever have wished for. We've had our ups and downs but I am never happier than when I am with him.

Congratulations on your result!

My partner and my DC. Nothing could be worth as much to me as they are. Finding my partner was like winning the lottery.
