ideal life plan

Things have been a bit - er - surreal on this forum recently so I thought I'd try and create a fun thread.

So - in an ideal world - what would your life plan be?

Mine would be to win the lottery, retire to the south of France and write my book, safe in the knowledge that if it's rubbish it doesn't matter as I'm already loaded! Lol

    Win the lottery, retire to Wales or maybe Devon with a small holding, two flocks of chickens (one for eggs as pets, and one for meat birds), couple of goats, maybe a pig or two and lamas/alpacas.

    Oh and a swimming pool.

    Probably win the lottery and buy a nice bungalow, already retired and living in Devon!

    I would like to give to my favourite charities and any future operations have done privately.

    Buy a new car rather than second hand

    win the lottery and probably move to somewhere like California.
    Real nice place by the beach. I'd just be in the sea or drinking cocktails in my garden most of the time.
    Sleep with stunners who want me for my money, but what would I care!!
    I'd also love to keep giving random homeless people loads of money

    I have lived in London for 14 years and absolutely love it. Don't really intend to move anywhere else if I can possible help it. Well - unless I win the lottery of course ... I will just rent out the flat then and pop off to France. lol
