I'd finish whatever I'm doing, just to not waste it, although probably a lot slower than what I am doing now.
Not sure about work etc though.0 -
Finish studies personally (are you trying to tell us youve won???) then take a year out and travel.

ha! I think its wishfull thinking, dreaming that I could win and be on a tropical island instead of a exam room in June....
I'd probably finish my studies, but slower like Rinske said.0 -
I won the lottery - 5 numbers once, but only got £70, everyone else won at the same time!!!!
I'm on my last 2 exams, so it'd make bugger all difference now to my AAT studies, but I think I'd still carry on the same and do ATT. I'd probably do it more quickly as I could afford to give up work and employ a Nanny/Cook/Housekeeper/Gardener and King Dong to keep me amused between studying !!!!!!!
IT'S ALL A FANTASY THOUGH - AS I DON'T ROUTINELY BUY A LOTTERY TICKET !!!!!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -
That is true! If I go work part time only or not at all, hire someone to do all the choires, I have so much more time to actually study!
it doesn't matter for AAT indeed, but for whatever comes next, I could just do it faster instead of slower!0 -
Could you really work?
Get up on a rainy cold Monday morning and go to work? When you could be anywhere you want...0 -
I'd be bored not doing anything all day....
I mean once I win the lottery I can choose where I want to work and how many hours.
More likely I start my own business though!0 -
I'm going to be really boring, I would pay off my brothers mortgage, then pay off mine.
I would take the whole family (and extended family) on a right good holiday.
I wouldn't work but would do some voluntary work, I don't think I could stay at home doing nothing and I would probably study something else, though what I don't know.0 -

Snap, although I'd have to pay off my sister and brother in laws mortgages as well as my sisters, and ours of course so would need a very substantial win lol
Take the extended family on holiday? If I had to go with them I'd make it 10 days max!
Voluntary work would be a dream, I couldn't sit around doing nothing.0 -
That is unbelievable this thread being started. I had a text this morning from my Mum to say that she had nearly hit the big time!................she checked last Wednesday's lotto numbers late last night and got 5 numbers................she won £613 but if she had one more number it wouldave been £624,631.......................TOTAL BUMMER! One number away from over half a million!0

unlucky
we cant play it over here, so we have to rely on family remembering to put our numbers on and then of course telling us
i would continue to study but not feel pressured, i still would like to have letters after my name as i have worked hard so far.
i would continue to work as i cannot be doing with daytime tv, but it would be for myself doing the hours i want and have the holidays i want.
and of course it would all be done with my new huge boobs which i have always said i would buy (maybe that is why i have not won yet lol)0 -

Why not just do it on-line? (dont mean the boobs lol)0 -

still not allowed as the isp is registered. it is a right buggerance and it really pees alot of soldiers and raf off.
once soldier did do it online and won quite a bit but the national lottery refused to pay him as he did not live in the UK. there was hell on over here.0 -

I think I'd treat myself to the new Peaugot RCZ (or whatever it is) instead of swapping for another new little Citroen. First MOT's due next week & I can't be bothered with the hassle:(0
-
I thinka Porsche Boxter Convertible for the summer, an Audi R8 for the winter, and a Merc S-class if I have to drive any distance. House or flat in London and I'd better see the family right, I suppose. I quite fancy doing a multimedia Design degree so I can learn to do the bits of my job I actually like properly or possibly something whacky like a Maths degree.
Or maybe move to Brazil and blow it all on young women with loose morals :001_smile:0 -
I'd emigrate and never come back - this country is a sinking ship.0

I'd buy shoes. Lots and lots of shoes....0

Are you a millipede?????
I think I'd come shoe shopping with you too, I like the idea of lots of shoes - even if I've only got two feet to put them on!
Then I should like a nice place to put my shoe collection ..... um, sparkly shoe cupboard in big new house!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

Nope, I'm a womanAre you a millipede?????
Yes, group shoe shopping mission!
Actually, I'd pay off the mortgage, and boyfriend's and brother's, chuck a bit in regular savings, lock away the rest and live on the interest. But given this is all hypothetical as I don't even buy lottery tickets, I'm dreaming about the shoes!!! :-)0 -
We're with you woman or millipede!
I'm seeing myself pushing a BIG TROLLEY full of SHOES !!!!! FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -
Shoeshopping is one thing I never understood.... Horrible...
Got to be done, but I'd rather do something else!
Now clothes shopping used to good. You walk in one store, you say you need 2-3 trousers in your size, they come bring them all, you fit them, make a choice, start combining it with shirts etc and then go home and be all done for half a year, apart from the odd shirts and underwear/ socks now and then, but that's just running in the cheap store nearby, grabbing a few and see how long it lasts....
Nowadays it's skipping most stores as they don't have my size, try 3 stores, find nothing nice, go home empty handed, and wonder where to get the trousers/ skirts. Although sometimes I am lucky and find some trousers.0 -

I have to say I much prefer shoe shopping online. I have to really be in the mood for going shopping in person. It's the clothes and shoes I like, not the shopping to get them. That can be a complete pain. Jeans.... don't even get me started on how hard it is to get jeans that fit!0
