I would've loved to win the £160 million jackpot and was gutted when I didn't get the lucky ticket.....
I want to set up a not-for-profit care agency, where carers get paid min £25k/year, they have decent pensions, annual leave, maternity leave, sick leave, fixed shifts, use of a pool car to go to residents, the opportunity to study and gain more qualifications. A care agency that didn't cost the earth for the users and had enough staff so you got more than just a fleeting visit - minimum an hour per visit (regardless of how many visits you have a day). Initially in the south-east but maybe nationwide.
I also want to set up a fund/charity for care. People could apply for care fee top-ups such as self-funding people living at home and people who are in care homes, self-funding, whose money has run out. Again initially in the south-east then nationwide.
Plus there would hopefully be enough left over to ensure my family, friends and neighbours have an easier life. To have the opportunity to be mortgage-free, to be able to choose their jobs, have a better life-work balance, to have a decent retirement, for their children to enter adulthood debt-free and to be able to follow their dreams.
For me, well I want to stay in my house, it suits me and I like the area. It was last decorated about 15yrs ago so could do with a lick of paint and new carpets/wood flooring, maybe new doors on the kitchen cabinets and a couple of new toilets (limescale build-up...). The oven needs cleaning. There's stuff that needs doing in the garden to tidy it up a bit. Someone to clean the house once a week and do the bloody ironing. Plus a personal trainer that collects me 5 times a week, drives me to my local leisure centre & frogmarches me into the gym or pool.
£120 million for the care agency and charity.
£35 million family and friends.
£5 million me.
Yes, £160 million would suit me fine!
Apologies for the long post - got a bit carried away in my dreams!
