  • :rotfl: Love it! My parents have a spiral staircase and it was great fun while we were growing up. It could have been even better :rotfl:

  • Oh my life, my boys would absolutely love that. Who am I kidding I would love that, there would be no more walking downstairs for me, I can tell you :D Can you imagine the house you would need to fit that in.

    It seems so unfair that just 6 numbers stand between me and the life I should be living :rotfl:

    I love this! One day....
  • Reminds me of a posh 'wallace and gromit' gadget. You could have all these devices set up in your house to minimise any effort on your part from the moment you woke up, got washed and dressed, travelled downstairs, had breakfast through to leaving the house (mansion). But not to go to work but to do whatever you wished every single day.

    Can you tell I have already planned in minute detail how I would spend a lottery win :D I would not be one of those annoying types that state 'it wont change me, I will still go back to work on Monday' I could ring their necks I tell you.

    If I did have a lottery win I wouldn't spend it all on me, family and friends though. There are many charities I would really love to be able to help.

    Oh that is so lovely :D If I won the lottery it would be a kitchen aid I bought;)

    I read an article the other day that someone had bemoaned the fact they had won just over £139K and was quoted as saying that would not even cover their mortgage to pay outright and that they would have to keep on working that it was not a life changing amount of money, OMG give it to me and we shall see what I can do with it:D:D

  • see my dreams of a lottery win are really simple lol

    all my debts would be gone,

    id buy a lovely house for me and my kids

    one for my parents and brother/sister.

    pay of my bffs mortgage, and my other bff i'd buy an extension on her house for her cos i know she'd love one.

    id pass my driving test and buy myself a metallic blue seat ibiza cupra and an RX8 for the weekends :)

    then id go to mirimar airshow with my dad and lil boy every year, as well as mach 1 passes at RIAT every year, and season tickets to mufc.

    i would also go on a mad shopping spree with my daughter, just cos we could!!!!!!!!
  • Lottery tickets should only be sold to people who have the imagination to know how to spend it. Thus giving those of us, who would value and make the most of any win, a better chance of hitting the jackpot.
