    I'd buy a derelict farm with land to do up. then spend years DIYing rather than pay someone..............meanwhile I'd stock the ground with rescued animals.
  • I'd just keep on lliving frugally, until the money ran out.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    £5 million - I would have to contemplate that one whilst sat on my yacht. :D
  • It would sit in MY bank until I got brave enough to spend it. OH would just buy loads as he can't have it burning the pocket. I honestly don't know what I would spend it on, even the thought is quite scary!

    I need to get a life:o

    I think I know what you mean about being brave enough, I find it far easier to spend money I DON'T have than money I DO have!:o
