.... if you won Tattslotto/Powerball, etc.?
We've probably all had the discussion about what we would do, but this is about what you wouldn't you do. Discussion on this latter question was held amongst some work colleagues about 30 years back. Most responses were based on it depends on how much was the win. Most answers seemed to be that people would not buy certain items, take trips, etc. The surprise came from Leanne, the office manager, who was quite adamant, I wouldn't tell my husband,
I wonder if they're still together.

I wouldn't tell anyone.
-
In the TV series "At Home With The Braithwaites" the mother/wife didn't tell the children or husband with interesting results.

I wouldn't go out and buy a Harley...or an EV... :rofl

For me that would depend, if it was last night's $150M, I think I'd buy each, and then may be even a hers and a his EV.
Of course then I'd need a bigger garage, and a bigger house, or perhaps I could store vehicles at the summer house. And I'd still have plenty left to fritter away on really, really useless stuff, outta my share.

what the ad doesn't tell you is that there are two free standing garages in the back yard and the double garage under the house is two cars deep.
So the Fiat and Harley will fit in happily leaving space for a new Nissan GTR.

So you're not gonna do a "Leanne" then? :whistle
I don't really need a bigger house, but I would definitely need a bigger garage for the Goldwing, the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, the ST, a couple of classic motorcycles and a couple of new cars. And then I'm guessing Sue might want something as well... >:()

Neither do I the house, above house would be rented out to uni students as we have good public transport to universities. I just want the garage space. :grin

Gee, if I had known you lived just up the road from where we were staying during our (nightmare) holiday late last year I could've shouted you a coffee!

I certainly would not want to do Leanne or wish anything similar, even on my enemies.
Since "downsizing" I do miss the old, very large garage. I think WAG has a good idea.

So if you won you'd tell her husband? I think that's what you're trying to say. :Stirpot

Nah. I only met him a coupla times, can't say that I warmed to him, was happy to drink his beer though.

I'm with Bodo on this, although there would be signs. :wht13 :blu13 :blk13 :slvr13 :13Candy
