If you won the lottery..................

What would you do with the money? Bearing in mind there is no miracle cure for FMS so we have to take that into consideration.

Just curious as to people's answers.

Well after helping family, a big hot tub

A warm swimming pool, and some where

Warm for the winter.

And a cleaner

I'd buy a house without a leaky roof that NOBODY could take away from me. I'd have my own hydrotherapy pool and spend hours just floating around in it.

There is no security in my life, with no certain income and living in a private rented property. That's what I'd aim for . Things that took some stress away .

I'd pay off my eldest son's mortgage , buy a little business for my youngest and make sure my dad had money in the bank so he could have private treatment and the money to give him a happy retirement .

Id get married sooner.give to fybro charity.buy a house.

Give some to my kids and family.

And train to be a therapist and give free therapy to other sufferers.

Get my teeth done.

Id give to my immediate family, My closest friends. Give to local charites.

Buy a nice plot of land and build a bungalow. And Id have to pinch Vivien60 ideas of a hot tub and a cleaner. And have a big bbq party when the house was all done.

There is a sod you side, for when those people that you dont speak to for long enough come out of the woodwork looking for money.

But as the saying goes something like if you dont want me when Im at my worst you certainly arent getting me at my best.

Im not a nasty person. Just people have hurt me in the past with the way they act.

I would pay both my childrens mortgages give all 3 enough money for good holidays and to live well. I would have a bungalow built with hydro pool jacuzzi swimming pool for the family. A cleaner and clean sheets on my bed every night!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would buy a flat for my eldest son and give him some cash to help furnish it etc., I would take my youngest son to Old Trafford to see Manchester United play and then invest an equal amount of cash for him for when he is older. I would pay off our mortgage and book a round the World cruise for hubby and me. Some cash would also go on our impending move so we'd need some money to decorate it as we'd want it to be done. I would update our car and my eldest son's car too. Buy a car for my youngest son and lots of driving lessons. I would also give a load to charity, Cancer Research etc. I'm also going to pinch the hot tub idea, that would really help my Fibro, aches and pains. If there was any money over I would have a personal trainer to motivate me into gentle exercise to get fitter! I think I would need a hefty Lottery win to cover my shopping list haha! :) :)

Definitely pay the mortgage off and buy a bungalow with lots of flowers beds . Buy a hotel with spa/jacuzzi/pool. Take care of family and friends then spend 6 months in Australia with my son and the other 6 months here with my daughter and 2 young granddaughters.

Also put money into funding for trials into helping fibro sufferers.....................xx

Good answers........ think we all want a bungalow with a cleaner and a gardener and a hot tub.

Me after a cruise to think about things first....

A certain amount for cancer and fibro awareness

For my son and daughter (only cos they wouldn't leave this country) a house and put some money away for them for holidays etc.

A little island in the sun (not too hot, nice moderate temperatures would do) if enough money!

And then move my daughter and grandkids, my niece and great nephew and nieces and my closest friends and live in peace and comfort away from the politics and beaurocracy of this country.

If not one of those huge euro lottery wins then a nice bungalow with the resident housekeeper/gardener, swimming pool etc in a nice place.

Anything left over I would share between all my remaining family and friends who i feel deserve it.

And if i had my own island then cheap holidays for everyone lol. xx

Hi to be honest with you if i won the lottery i would stay in my house it is big enough for myself and daughter who will prob go in the next 3/5 years and then i would also keep my car it has just been made toip top condition so no need to change it i dont really go anywhere only town/family all live near

i would make sure my kids were both comfortable and the grandkids and my immediate family and that would be it i would jus make sure i had enough tio not worry about bills etc but basically give most of it to help others as i dont need it not really i would not do anythng different than i do now if i had millions in the bank only difference would be i could go down buy an item and not think or worry where or when i camn pay for it so that would be nice

love diddle xxxxx

give 3 of my eldest kids some money so they could leave home [please] as much as I love them their noise , their untiiness makes me cringe, they could even move in next door,then a holiday to egypt always wanted to go there,put some away for my youngest to go to uni, eldest son, buy him a car, and new house,for me a house in which the flat roof doesnt leak, solar panels so no high electric bills

I would give my son and daughter money for a house, then I would buy us a holiday pad in Scottsdale, Arizona. Set up trust funds for ant future grandchildren. Enjoy my own personal hydrotherapy pool and ask all my fibro friends to join me.

I think a world cruise would be nice too. Donate to Cancercharities and Alzheimers charity.
