When you win the lottery...
...What would be the very, very first thing you would buy?
I don't mean the usual posh car, house and all the other stuff that's usual when you come into a load of money.
I mean THE one thing you've always wanted but could never have either because you couldn't justify it or you couldn't afford it or were too embarrassed to buy it or you just never got round to buying it?
Mine would be the most expensive and finest quality Italian professional espresso machine that money could buy (something like a Pasquini Livia 90) then have it plumbed into the kitchen (even though I'll be buying a new house later obviously).
So no lists of all the things you would buy, just the one thing you'd just have to go out and get first.
A dream since I was little, was to have an off white living room with an off white grand piano in it.
I still think that would be ace now, though with having kids the white wouldn't be too practical!
If I was a millionaire though, it could be out of bounds in the west wing :smug:
If we are talking complete frivolity then mine would be a complete scale model in 54mm of the Armies present in the Napoleonic battle at Austerlitz in 1805 :smile:
Of course tomorrow it might be different I guess but tonight thats what I'd pic

How is that the first thing you'd go out and buy?

I would by a house and set up a trust, without her knowledge, to be handed over at 21 or funds released to fund her education.

Thanks for reading my initial post.
A deluxe shower; huge amount of room in it for any extra peeps that might want to join me lol. A huge rainforest head, then wee jet heads on side walls, plus detachable head for those hard to reach spots, a insert in the wall to keep my soap from dissolving away. It would have no door just frosted glass curved round it. Of course there would be a gorgeous fit bloke to keep me company in this huge shower :twisted: lol.
Jezz my imagination is over -active lol.

Oooo Ruth.. I like the idea of your shower...hmm *thinks... much put that at top of list!
A fully working but de-armed Mil24 Hind Helicopter and hire the ground crew to keep it flightworthy.
Obviously when I've won the lottery I will be able to afford my pilots license and Russian Lessons to be able to speak with the ground crew...
A new car, mines shot sad
There are so many things I would immediately want but I'm not sure they can be regarded as a frivolous first purchase but I would really like a huge shed in the garden with a wood lathe and comfy seating and television etc so I can while away the days making "stuff" out of wood......
A hovercraft!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
a piece of land by the river,where i can do small scale farming planting cabbages,onions,herbs,tomatoes and the likes...oh what a dream!
I'd splash out on another wedding smile We married qickly and had a same do (which I loved) but now I'd do it all over again and have a big do and new photos etc biggrin
I've always wanted a couple of acres of woodlands, frivalous when it serves no other purpose than just me owning it.
Or a custom built camper (don't tell Emma)

i would give my children lots of money .... always wanted to do that, never been able to :cry:
A huge new room, with a wooden sprung floor, with a stage at one end, with one of those old fashioned square microphones set up in the middle, and I'd hire a 1930s mellow jazz band, and I'd pay them to let me sing and I'd have candlelit tables dotted about, and part of the floor would be a dance area, and I'd hire waiters to dart about taking drinks orders, and I'd pay an audience to come, and the ladies would be in ball gowns, and I'd be singing in a fitted gold gown, and I'd sing "It had to be you" ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is just heaven to me.

Ooooh! Can I have her then? :bounce:
I'd take my son on a shopping spree. He's 17 and loves clothes shopping biggrin
This baby:

Currently on sale for the princely sum of £3.2 million.
I'd see that she was far more productively used than she has been the last few years, re-employ a lot of the former crew, and offer the Master Gunner the captaincy, on his terms, if he wanted it.
I'd spend a fair bit of time living on her- and maybe even use her as the mother of all venues for the occasional munch! lol
Oooo I've always had asperations to be a hermit!

(with hot and cold running water and an espresso machine though)

Bugga!
I thought I'd finally found out what I wanted to do when I grew up. Back to the drawing board.

Don't think i would go for a new house because of the land and position of our current house but the first thing i would do is get an architect in and plan the biggest extension you could imagine probably doubling the size of our house with room for a snooker table for the hubby

If I won the lottery my first impulse purchases would be shoes.
I'd go on a major shoe binge and buy several pairs each of Rupert Sanderson, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Loubourtin and Jimmy Choo designed shoes. Then I'd probably go and get a pair of Tod's loafers. Oh, and I've always wanted a pair of really nice, classically styled brogues.
I love shoes. wink

That's one attraction I've never been able to understand. I detest buying new shoes. It doesn't matter if it's formal shoes or trainers, they never ever feel right and it takes ages for them to become comfortable, in fact some are positively excruciating to wear when new.
Give me my 10 year old comfy Reeboks anyday :smoke:
