£100,000
« on: November 03, 2007, 01:13:25 AM »
Some friends and I were discussing this a few days ago, and I posted it on another message board where it sparked quite an interesting discussion. So...

What would your first reaction be if you won £100,000

and what is the first thing you would buy?

Reaction = relief!

First thing - a carpet for the lounge.



Overall, pay off the mortgage, give the place a basic makeover, sell and move back to Sandgate.  Possibly alone  8) but to somewhere cat friendly.


If there's anything left, upgrade the Saab.


Nuff??

reaction   :  amazement !


1.  Pay off my brother's mortgage for him, then my sister-in-law could give up her job as a Staff Nurse, a job she used to love but now finds extremely difficult.

2.   The remainder   .........  don't know.......... but I'm sure I'd think of something !


PS  I have just thought of something  ...  the complete set  (Six seasons - 24 discs)   of the Sopranos on DVD .. ::)

Gosh, that would be some hi-fi Floydy. Don't forget to keep a bit back for buying green felt pens to improve your CDs. ;D

A bottle of champagne to sit and drink whilst thinking about what I could spend the rest of the money on.

I'd set myself up as an ISP, just to get away from the dreaded Virgin Media.  >:(

Unfortunately it was shared between 5 people, but still came in handy.
The picture is an identical copy of the genuine article, just that I had to touch-it-up a little because it was getting very tatty.

To-date I have known (yes past tense) three lottery winners and with one exception it did not change their lives over-night.
The one exception being was the person who tried to buy friendship, what a mug he is.
