Default Euromillions...............

Right, well we had a bit of a touch on the Euromillions last night and I would like to canvass a few of you to help me come up with ideas of what to do with it.


Lara wants to go on a mad spending spree but I think we should be a little more conservative and think about the future.

So any ideas would be welcome, thanks.

I was fulled expected £70,000 million or whatever is was to be in my account!.... £6.40 and it will be bloody less now since the exchange rate has crapped itself!

Ohh a spending spree, and some for savings. perhaps 60/40?.. but what can you get for 10 quid? or was it a little bit more.. were you one of the 6?

I think you should invest at least half of it in an up and coming design firm in Hertfordshire. It would need to be a long term investment with little or no return for approximately 30 years but after that there will be oodles of profit... promise!.

It was definately more than a tenner mate, but not one of the six sadly, or I would be on a plane right now!

Ok i didnt want to beg but you could always donate it to a very worthwhile charity 'The get Sam to Queensland' charity which is a bit short on funds at the mo .

Depending how much you won i would spend and invest some for your next adventure.

Love Sam
