Say you had 1million pounds one your doorstep. What would you do with it?
Spend it? YEAH, BUT SPEND IT ON WHAT?
Give it to charity? Which charity and why?
Buy a house? What sort of house?

Wow! First, I would get me and my daughter's a house (and my ex off my back).
Second, I would give some to my best friend because he is in a horrible situation right now and it would allow him to go back to school like he really wants to do.
Third, my daughter's and I would decide on which charities we would like to give some to. My personal choices are Breast Cancer Research, because I lost my mom to breast cancer, Multiple Sclerosis because it is such a debilitating disease, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders because it has surpasses Autism and Downs Syndrome for #1 cause of retardation in children and is 100% preventable.

Most of it I would invest, but first things first, big party for family and friends. Then I would design and build new house. I would also invest in local businesses with the assistance of some professional advisors. If I make a significant return I would put a lot into charity. Maybe start some sort of organisation to get the homeless back on their feet with therapy, training and stuff.

we would all do what is our nature to do, many would think they would do really good charity work with it but when the money arrived their true nature would be seen by all.I would love to see some friends get it and then discuss the money after 1 year. It would be an eye opener.
Something would happen to my million, much more likely than putting it in bank and carrying on like normal. I expect I would be on first plane to the philippines first then maybe start a completely new life,

Pretty much keep up with my financial lifestyle as is but it would be great knowing I had the money tor retire when I was too ill to keep going. I would still like to work as I am in an active environment and with brilliant people who I know and trust. I would like to get a chauffeur driven, totally b itch-ing car to take me there.
I would take care of my parents and make sure they had everything they needed - I don't think my dad wants to move from their house but I would buy my mum an extra house 'of her dreams'. I would have a new flat too with a funky new set of self cleaning rooms and Italian marble bathrooms for each bedroom. Oh, wouldn't it be loverly. And give the tax man his dues too.

I would buy a 10 bed house, so my kids and I could have a bedroom each and still have room for guests.
Build my parents a bungalow and look after them.
Have my own cinema and swimming pool.
Buy a Ferrari, a Chrysler Grand Voyager, and quad bikes for the kids.
Build my own animal sanctuary where they would never be put down or mistreated.

If you had a million pounds, you'd have roughly 2 million dollars.
Wonder what it was doing on my doorstep first. Probably think it was Mafia related or something.
I'd consider getting my entire body Gold plated. And move really slowly like the six million dollar man.

I'd give about 1/3 rd to various childrens and animals charities, give my family about a 1/3 rd and then buy a Black Audi s4 convertible and get loads of new clothes and shoes.

I'd buy an ex army land rover, have it fitted with a v8 turbo diesel engine and a big f*ck off sound system, big shiny alloy wheels, and a 50.cal. martyr machine for show, and a bumper sticker that reads "boy racers must die!!!".
with the rest I'd put it into property and rent quality houses at low rent to people starting out in life.
and open a chain of animal rescue centres.
oh and I'd buy my parents a winebago warrior and the staffi's their own butcher.
