What would you do?

[Eve]

Inspired by my new Gossip Girl obsession, if you had 1 week with unlimited funds at your disposal to use, what would you do?

You can't save it, buy things to sell afterwards for the money, pay off a mortgage or debts etc... use it or lose it.

[anneasquith]

give most of it to my children.

[excelsior-1]

take my mother and my god-daughters on a round the world cruise

[mrs_overall]

Give a chunk to various charities and good causes and use the rest to travel

[Psybbo]

Buy our children houses, pay off their debts, rest to good causes

[percypineapple]

build some hospitals. pay for the immigration border boys to get back to work and stop undesirables entering our country. and demolish the olympic stadium, build another olympic stadium somewhere sensible, where there are uncongested roads and poor unemployment.

[chrissa1]

Buy a lovely house for myself and for each of my two children. Set up a Trust Fund for my little granddaughter. Enrol her into my old school and pay her school fees until she's 18. Buy myself an Aston Martin Vanquish, my son a Subaru Impreza WRX and my daughter whatever car she wanted

Make sure that we are all financially secure for the rest of our lives.

[mrs_overall]

Oh bother, I forgot about my kids
I'd give them a large chunk


Mrs O
Parent of the Year (not)

[supersuezy24]

i'd book a trip around Italy, then after that head to America oh and before i done all that i'd get swimming lessons and driving lessons...oooh and buy a house with loadsa land and rescue loads of doggies :)

[supersuezy24]

hahah just reread the original post...thats a lot for me to fit into a week hahahah

Buy an estate with a main house and little farms / cottages in the grounds for my children/ friends, completely private so only people invited could be admitted (it's my lifelong plan) plus artworks, furniture etc for the same. Buy an island for holidays similarly private and somewhere warm. Buy myself and each of my children/ partners a car of their choice plus a better boat ( sorry MUCH better boat) and then just have a good old week long party.
Charitably I would donate to cancer research, mental health charities, water charities in Africa and most importantly the anti AIDS programmes running in Africa.
Practically I would have a snoop about very depressed areas and invest in long range community projects and try to aqrrange the bulldozing of some social housing estates and replacement with decent housing. On the subject of housing if I were somewhat above planning laws too I'd embark on the building of new villages to ease the social housing prolem and prevent the making of new inner city ghettos.
and I'd go shopping, because for a man I'm quite vain:)

[anneasquith]

nox.............. are you " the secret millionaire " ?

[NOX]

Nah, sorry Anne, you wouldn't catch me on TV- but I do soemtimes anonymously donate to things/ people if I see soemthing really remarkabl;y worthy. How are you, having a nice Easter?

[murraymints]

I'd hire 02 arena and throw a HUGE AB get together....along with every room in the Ritz for sleeps...what fun...free bar..free cakes....

[DTCwordfan]

and probably a rebuild of the hotel, murray......

[DTCwordfan]

Buy Greece - but then that probably would only cost a tenner......

[murraymints]

maybe buy the hotel too..then Builder and his mate will also get a job out of it !!!lol

[anneasquith]

fine thanks nox. all well with you ?

[NOX]

Yes very thanks. Kids ( littler ones) are coming over next week and my older lads are here for Easter so not too bad. Things with the ex Mrs Nox are loosely good ( we'll still have to see long term) so I'm a happy fella.

[tonyav]

Wine, women and song. And i would probably waste the rest.
