1. none of the trekkers would have to worry about their targets. There would be a large donation to CR-UK more than to covers us all. 2. I'd leave work and travel for a bit, then setup a coupleof businesses to keep me busy. 3. I'd make sure my family were all very comfortable that would cover a few million of it - the rest ? no idea ! |

1. I'd buy the Arts centre where I work from the council then they will have to keep their interfering noses out. 2. I'd see the family 'right'. 3. I'd buy a house in my favourite part of Wales. 4. Invest lots so we don't have to work again (apart from at the Arts Centre which I love) 5. Substantial donations to my 3 favourite charities. Gwynne |

I would sort my family out, buy a house, hubby a car and a recording studio, also set my children up in their own businesses, sponsor lots of dogs for the blind, deaf, disabled, donate to lots of charities and research of diseases and give lots of aid to Africa and other areas where poor things are starving. Then, I would go shopping, go out to celebrate and invest what was left. M. |

Needless to say I would be equally generous towards my friends Bec :) more things for my list buy a new ground etc for my local football club, with the intention of getting them into the football league so that MK has a proper team at last (you can't count the MK Dons). give the local hospital a few million to expand their SCBU unit |

Top of the list? Can you guess? THE PINK FUND (but I'd still do the Trek!). MacMillan Nurses The Sick Children's Trust A couple of hospices which are very important to my family. A house and comfortable income for my parents. Same for my brother. Sufficient uni funding, a car, a house and income (in trust) for each of my children. My dream house and maybe a couple in other parts of the world. A jag for my hubby and maybe let him retire early. Give my best friends enough to start the business they've always longed to have. Unlimited travel. Start up my own dance school. Set up a sports scholarship. Guess that'll do. Daisy |
