would you want to carry on working, in your present job or another more pleasing to you ? Or would you enjoy leading a life of luxury and idleness, or use your money and new found time to help with charity, or a 'project' that you have wanted to try for years ( for eg. like a friend of mine who would want to set up an animal rescue centre ).

I'd buy a smallholding and have a proper menagerie....

I've always wanted to keep Donkeys..so I'd turn my hand to Donkey rescue...and also I'd take in more ex battery hens ...it's been a fantastic experience watching my girls change from frightened little baldies to big beautiful ladies ...not to mention getting a few more dogs ..ohhhh and ducks.....and goats :-D

Muffy, aren't they great, ex battery hens, watching them get used to scratching about and dust baths ( I went right back to my childhood then!) It would be nice to have some again.

I am so mean I would pug it away and not tell anybody.

The big thing would be to have a cleaner to do the housework.

Animal charities would get few bob now and then,anonymously.

Maybe I could set up some kind of charity that would provide a place of refuge for children living with narcissistic parents. A place to run to when life was just too stressful where they would be believed before anybody else.That's what I would have liked.

I'd donate some to certain charities. I'd like to travel the world first, or at least parts of it. Then I could decide what to do when I arrived back home :-D

If I am totally. honest.

No. I wouldn't keep on working. I would look after me and mine.

If money was no object, after things had settled down I would think about setting up some sort of charity/ trust for under privillaged (sp?) child here in the UK

Well, OH does the lottery because he would like to have the wherewithall to purchase two young racehorses! Me, I would like to purchase a boat (even one of the smaller ones) for RNLI.

See our two gchildren OK and as we already do support our favourite charities, could probably do a bit more for them.

I've worked for my living all my life.

If I suddenly became rich, I would still work, although maybe not for my living.

I did have the, uh, luxury for some years of being able to work at what I wanted to do without having to worry about being paid, because I also worked at another occupation at the same time that I earned a living from. Two full-time jobs, basically. I felt privileged that I could do what I did to benefit refugees and others who could not afford legal services.

So I'd work at something equally rewarding and important, and maybe drop what I do now for a living. I enjoy it, and it isn't without reward and importance, I'd just have more choice and I'd try something else out.

Not working, not taking responsibility for myself and contributing to my society, as a grownup adult person, just isn't something I can imagine.
