What’s the FIRST thing you would buy if you won the lottery

[GretelGreen]

Feel free to be as shallow as possible. Forbidden choices include: paying off your mortgage, going on holiday or charitable donations. You know, all the stuff we’d all actually do with a lottery win

Mine would be to buy a really bloody nice handbag (never had one).

(Then of course I’d move on to the boring but important stuff).

A really nice quality dog walking coat!

A big food shop fed up of scrimping on sick pay and a new pair of shoes as mine have holes in

A chef who works out what to cook and buys all the ingredients needed and cooks it and tidies away afterwards.

An entire new wardrobe and shoes for myself. If it was a mega-jackpot, then a holiday home in Hawaii.

Hire a PA for a year. Bliss. Plus s/he could organise the rest of the stuff I want to do with the remaining of my winnings

A car. Mine is on its last leg. Desperate to be independent again.

It would definitely be a new house. I know that takes a long time to buy, but we are very fortunate in our everyday life and have everything we need and can afford to buy replacements as needed.

So I'd buy a new house to move into (probably only just round the corner tbh as I like where we live) and then I'd spend a lot of money getting the house we live in done up and desirable for renting. And I'd rent it out at a low rate and be a very responsive landlord until maybe, hopefully, one of my dc might like to live in it one day.

I'd buy a regular, 3 bed house for my area and enjoy living In it without the worry if bills can be paid.

Scream, long and loud. Then collapse in a dead faint.

Burberry Cashmere scarf all wrapped up with a bow
For my husband I would get him the grand piano he has wanted

I'd do my entire weekly shop in the M and S or Waitrose food hall, and use a trolley!

A loft extension for me and a new house for my mate who’s having the shittest of shit times but I wouldn’t want her to know I’d bought it for her so fuck knows how I’d manage that. I’d probably have to concoct some weird story with the help of a solicitor about some long distant relative who’d died and left it to her.

And a fuckton of gin and walkers chilli sensations.

Then a personal trainer.

First class flights to new New York then a luxury stay when we get there. Yankees tickets for DH.

I'd make my own gin distillery and open up the deli with my friend that we dream of.

I'd have a lot of spa days of move somewhere big enough for my own aromatherapy room, jacuzzi and small pool.

And a really fucking food telescope.

An Audi for me, a BMW for DH and an intensive course of driving lessons and a small car for DC.

*good telescope.

Though a food one would be great if it meant I could be extra lazy and use it to retrieve food from with kitchen whilst I lounge on my fat arse

A whole litter of kittens. And a large summerhouse for them to wander in and out of as they please, with automatic food and water dispensers and lots of comfy areas for them to sleep. It would be heated in the winter, and the kitties would all have collars on that allow them access through the cat flaps without letting other animals in.

I have given this a lot of thought.

A dog. I'd love a dog but we cant afford it and thecwork thing gets in the way.

A nice big house and private surgery that I'm probably going to need but likely to be waiting a long time for in nhs. Which is the boring practical stuff. But also get rid of the csec apron and have my boobs put up where the bra has them. And a trip to see Santa at Lapland.

Partner a snazy guitar, then Myself a camera

I'd walk up to this particular house, ring the bell, and tell them to name their price if they'll sell the house to me right then and there.

The house is really nothing 'spectacular', it's not a mansion or 'brand new super trendy', but for some reason it just 'speaks to me'.

A massive field where I would build a house each for me, my parents and my grandparents.

A gastric band 😂

@Temeraire I'd hope for that price they could spell 'drawer' correctly!

I'd take the kids to a toy store and let them have what they wanted, I'd get us all new clothes without worrying about the cost.

I'd then put money into the bank for my DC and nieces for when they're older. I wouldn't tell a soul other then my husband and we'd carry in as usual but we'd be dressed better and replace anything we needed as soon as we needed to!

An Aston Martin for me. A Tesla for FS who is 17 very soon - most of the win would go on the insurance 😂😂.
A builder to put a bedroom over the garage and knock the kitchen wall down so I can have a new kitchen. I'm 4 months in and can't find one who will take on the project.
