    Good Idea - perhaps we should post SOW (Statement of Wishes) as well as SOA

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Right now I'd be happy with just 200 quid! All I want to do is break this freaking cycle of bank charges and have a little extra for some fun :)

  • I would like £22K to clear debts. If that is all I ever win in my whole life I will still be happy.
    In fairy tale land I would like enough to be able to go into the Estate Agents where I saw my dream house (7 bedroom Grade II listed former rectory with staff cottage, 5 1/2 acres, lake and stream) and be to pay whatever the asking price (it was advertised as "price on application"!).
    I would like to pay off mortgages for family and give to sisters for their university costs.
    I dream of this most days.
    Total Debt November 2016 =£9,660.52 :mad:

    I was lucky to have 5 numbers come up about 5 years ago & one £2k. I was chuffed to bits until me brother pointed out that one more number would have been life changing. One less number would have been about £50, so not complaining. Haven't won anything since.

    The Irish lottery,usually found in your local bookies, pays out £500 for three numbers if anyones interested.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I'll handle my own debt, but could you send me £85 for those rather special shoes I saw yesterday?

    Super.

    Thanks x
