so.. not charitable stuff. Blush

silly stuff, where if money were no object, you'd do these things.

  1. brand new pants every day :D
  2. have someone make my bed with fresh sheets each morning (and it would be super nice linen)
  3. buy abrand new car with all the whizzy bits on

Fly First Class.
Actually, I guess I could afford my own private jet, but I feel it's important to keep in touch with the "little people" Grin

BackforGood · 01/01/2019 17:33

Oh! I'd buy ahouse with multiple staircases!

Antone else singing "One long staircase just going up and one even longer coming down" from Fiddler on the Roof, now ? Grin

I too would have a hair dresser 'on tap' - probably get my hair 'done' abut 3 times a week.
I would also build a house that I designed, and had all the bits I fancy in (much better controlled heating, etc.) as wll as the rooms I want, where I want them.

Go buy a brand new lamborghini with a debit card Grin

Then hire someone to follow me around shopping to hold all the bags/arrange for then to be sent home.

Then buy a bigger house to house said purchase of new stuff.

veggiepigsinpastryblankets · 01/01/2019 17:38

Like BackforGood I'd build my own house. I think I'd hire some really fancy cutting edge architects and get the weirdest design planning permission would let me get away with.

While it's being built I'll go on a round the world tour staying in lovely hotels and eating all the food.

Then I'll do my pointless humanities PhD when I get back and spend the rest of my life writing obscure self published monographs that will probably only ever be read by about 3 other people.

KlutzyDraconequus · 01/01/2019 17:48

Set up the world's first commune for anti social people.

Build a theme park that I'd only open for free to disadvantaged kids and their families.

anxious62 · 01/01/2019 17:48

Personal trainer, make up and hairdresser.

Lovely house and new cars.

Some lovely jewellery.

Full time housekeeper and gardener.

Roguebludger · 01/01/2019 17:49

Chef, trainer, cleaner, gardener, year long holiday first class and five star....

Lolly34h · 01/01/2019 17:51

I'd buy a big house so the kids could have lots of space to play/game.
Have a pool indoor and outdoor
Travel the world with the kids with a private teacher
And make sure my sister and father benefitted from all the money too
Also have my hair done cause I haven't had it done in a salon for nearly 10 yearsBlush

Stompythedinosaur · 01/01/2019 17:51

I'd have a cleaner come in every day, and a gardener every week. I would also just throw socks away and buy more as I hate pairing socks!

Theunreasonableone · 01/01/2019 17:53

I’d also have a housekeeper to change my Egyptian cotton sheets every day. I’d have a barista in my kitchen with a proper coffee shop coffee maker so I could have fabulous coffee whenever I fancied. I’d also have a stationery/craft room (inspired by the Spelling mansion gift wrapping room). Oh and finally a room for to showcase and play with Sylvanian Families and Lego sets.

Youmadorwhat · 01/01/2019 17:55

Think I would just travel loads!! And have a daily chef and hairdresser,make up artist and a personal trainer that pulls me out of bed at 6 every morning 🤣🤣

Plump82 · 01/01/2019 17:55

Pay for someone to gently brush my hair and stroke my inner foreams for as long as required!

Ifyouthinkiwillsleepyoudream · 01/01/2019 17:56

Personal trainer!

And a nanny to follow us on trips so we can regularly go and visit all our friends who live far / abroad with no fuss / it being a big deal and madness with small children. Of course we would all fly first class

carlecomedian · 01/01/2019 18:04

Someone to tickle my back till I fall asleep (then tiptoe out to their own home)

HereBeFuckery · 01/01/2019 18:05

I'd buy a big plot of land and build a big, eco-friendly house. At least eight beds, (so that people could holiday with us) all en-suite. Super super insulated, turf roof, living walls, heat exchange pump thing and a wind turbine. A big indoor pool, games room, office, craft/wrapping room, tonnes of storage.

Then I'd have staff, to keep it all nice. I'd learn languages and write stuff (books, articles), and holiday all over the world, starting with Costa Rica for two months.

I'd have a massage every day. Maybe twice on Sunday. Grin

Omgineedanamechange · 01/01/2019 18:09

I’d drive to the nearest porche/Ferrari/Lamborghini garage and ask for a part ex price on my beaten up old Peugeot. Likewise visit all the designers shops in my scruffiest clothes and buy whatever I fancied in every colour.

I’d throw a huge party, without telling anyone about my win. I’d make it slightly inconvenient (but not too bad) to get to, but tell all the invitees that it was really important to me that they came. Then give everyone who made the effort to attend a humungous cheque.

Have a pedicure every week. And a manicure.

Have a house built to my exact specifications which would include every gadget and gizmo to known to man.

And I’d have dogs, at least two, who would go everywhere with me including flying on my private jet.

AntiHop · 01/01/2019 18:11

Housekeeper. That would be such bliss.

hmmwhatatodo · 01/01/2019 18:16

Decorate my house (yeah I’d have a detached house obvs) twice a year in keeping with a spring/summer theme then an autumn/winter theme. Have the oven professionally cleaned monthly and cleaners twice a week, plus someone to cook and iron for me, monthly visits to a beautician for various frivolous treatments, private lessons in things like sewing, yoga, baking, flower arranging, a personal shopper 4 times a year for each season, stuff like that.

LuckyLou7 · 01/01/2019 18:17

Go on holiday with nothing and buy everything at the airport - sunglasses, suitcase, clothes, cosmetics, toiletries, sun protection.
Buy a fully restored, immaculate MG Midget.
Buy a fully restored, immaculate VW camper.
Travel the world, first class all the way, long haul flights where you can walk around and have a shower and go to bed.

off to book my EasyJet flight to Spain

EnormousDormouse · 01/01/2019 18:17

I would hire someone to carry my bags everywhere. Shopping bags, school stuff (am a teacher and I am always lugging bags in and out of school), suitcases etc. I hate being a pack pony.

hmmwhatatodo · 01/01/2019 18:20

Oh yeah and someone to add decor to the outside so pumpkins and scarecrows for autumn and maybe an ice sculpture in the winter with nice twinkly lights and I have no idea about the summer decor but it would be good and people would drive just to admire the outside of my house.
