    I have 22 euromillions tickets in my sticky mitt... and yet my goal is just to win more than the £10.40 we got on Friday! Actually my goal was to remember to buy them...

    Thanks everyone!! I'm a little torn, as I can either have the car which would be amazing and a little indulgent or I could have the 13.5k which would be sensible. That's if I get offered it anyways. Hmm! OH still doesn't know, might not mention it at all. Just come home one day with a mini or a lot of money!! Heehee!

    And I would miss Greg, Tete :( we'll see what happens!!

    Wow Cinny, congrats on the mini, I LOVE minis! I was feeling quite disheartened today but been cheered up by all the luckiness of this thread. And I'm gonna join in with The Shred, I put on 4lbs of the 12lbs I lost, boo.

    Yay Swinstie, how exciting we're all doing it, will motivate me!

    Might the offer you the money Cinny? With my sensible head on it might be better to take the money/sell the Mini as I think they're pretty expensive to insure esp with your age and experience... But then... it would be so cool to swank about in a brand new Mini!!

    Hmmm that's quite the conundrum Cinny! Minis hold their value really well so you could swan about in it for a while for fun and still make a few bob selling it after you've had your fun! I think I'd lose my sensible head and keep the car though! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I was mulling it over while my Mum and Sister were over (they decided to come across and watch Teen Mom to save money on going to the cinema with my Sister saving for Cali and all!) and I've decided I'm going to go for the car over the cash. I mean, that was what the comp was for after all right? Selling Greg will pay for the new ones insurance for a year, with some left over for next. After 3 years, if we need the money we can sell it and I can get a cheaper car. And come on, when else will I get the chance to own a brand new car?? I hope to god this is real life as I've told just about everyone! I told OH's Mum I hope I didn't pass out for 5 minutes and have a really vivid dream about the phone call :rotfl: OH still doesn't know, he should be home in about 20 minutes though!

    And thanks again everyone :j:j This is going to be me in a couple weeks:
