The Blogtober 16 question for Day 3 relates to what you do if you won the lottery. I have to say nothing infuriates me more than a lottery winner coming out of Camelot HQ saying “It won’t change my life”. It should change your life; that is the whole point of it!
I am extremely lucky in my life; I have a wonderful husband and the most captivating, engaging, funny, cute adorable little girl! I have an amazing, if not slightly crazy family, that is huge (Mr H always says I have a family the size of Epping Forest!) I live in a beautiful home (not huge, but perfectly adequate for our needs!). So you see in some ways I already have won the lottery; but despite all this a lottery win would change my life and here’s how:
1. I would no longer need to work & would be able to be a stay at home mum for Miss H
2. We would be able to afford luxury holidays
3. We could buy a second car and upgrade our first car; no sod it I’m a lotto winner lets hire a chauffeur and buy a plane instead!
4. Mr H could buy that long dreamed of Season Ticket to The Arsenal – quick Mr H print this while you have it in black & white just in case 😉
5. I wouldn’t have to cook, clean or do the ironing!
6. We would be able to send Miss H to private school (Haha gotcha there Mum – no I wouldn’t, I think the state education system is brilliant; those who want to learn do!)
7. Miss H would have everything she ever wants (no hang on she gets that anyway!)
8. I would buy a boat; can I drive or steer one, no, but that doesn’t really matter, I like boats and would be loaded!
These are all material though; the one thing money cannot buy is what I already have and for that I am grateful 🙂
What would be the first thing you bought if you won the lottery? Would you tell people if you won?

![[AD - PRESS TRIP] We went back to where it all started today. Mike and I met at the Potters Arms in Harlow on Christmas Eve in 2008. We always try to go back on Christmas Eve for a drink, but this year we celebrated early. Cookhouse & Pub invited us to go and celebrate our anniversary early with them and they spoilt us rotten with a 3 course dinner & lots of gifts; they gave us heart shaped balloons, roses & Mike got a bottle of prosecco too.
The Potters Arms has changed over the years (though I'm sure if the building could talk it would say the same about us 🤣). It has been renovated and has a new menu which is really varied and delicious 😋. I am dairy and egg free and they had lots of choices for me - I had leek and potato soup to start, gammon, pineapple, chips and peas for main and vegan apple pie and custard for pudding 🥧. Mike had Prawn Cocktail to start, Steak, chips, peas, mushroom & grilled tomato for main and after eight Sundae for pudding 🍦. Lily had some bread and butter to start, hot dog, chips and beans for main and chocolate brownie and ice cream for pudding 🍫. The food was amazing, the restaurant has been renovated and the staff were really friendly. I can see us going back a lot...especially in the summer as its just down the road from Mike's outdoor bowls club! 🌞 @cookhouseandpub #cookhouseandpub #pottersarms #harlow #whatsonmyplate](https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_200,h_200/https://www.happymummy.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Loving the list of things you would buy, I would definitely invest in a chauffeur so I wouldn’t have to do so many school runs!
Loving your list. The idea of not having to cook or clean is very appealing!
Season tickets do cost an arm and a leg these days…
Now I know why my hubby plays the lottery!
I love your take on this post title – it is wonderful that you are grateful for the blessings in your life that money can’t buy. Although I’d love never to clean again and to be driven around.
I love what you would do with a lottery win!
I love the idea of not having to do any housework again 😀 x
