who wants to be a millionaire?
Hi all
I have been away a few days, well away from Blogland. We had my brother and his girls here, so I was doing entertaining, and then back to work, which is mega stress at the moment, and my desk is almost as messy as my filing tray.
Must post a picture of that tray one day 
Anyway, I mentioned to a friend the other day that there are lots of things I would much rather be doing instead of accounts all day, so he asked what. And I haven't replied yet. There is 11 million to win on our lottery at the moment, so I got to thinking what would I do if I won the lottery.
Unfortunately here the Govt take a third of the winnings in taxes, but that would still leave about 8 million.
So then I could realise my dreams - but what are they?
Well the laser treatment would be for definate - so that is 10 thousand gone, and then I would buy the hotel at the end of our street. It is a hotel/restaurant that has seen better days, but so long ago I don't know when. It would need a million or 2 to bring it in to the 21 century, but what fun I could have. I could tour around getting ideas first.
My brother stayed in one of the rooms this visit, cos we didn't have space. The equivalent of £8 per night tells you what sort of standard the rooms are. Still it was only a bed.
So i would renovate and titillate - me and the hotel, and I would serve all gluten free goodies, which are fine for regular folks too. Plus I would incorporate a youth centre in part of the building where the young people could meet up. No booze, sex or fags though, run by a committee of the young people. I think that would be good, and save them hanging around on street corners.
and I would still have 6 million left.
Obviously I would give some to Charity, and to family members.
And then I would travel. I would visit the US, and Canada, and India, and Israel, and Africa, and Asia. Not all in the same year though, but that would be great for a few years. Expand my horizons, meet new people, while all the time keeping an eye on my Hotel, and having something to come back to.
Sounds good eh? Just need some winning numbers now.
