I'd go straight to Dida's sister's villa (next door to the marinaki) hand her a big wad of cash for it then I would build a fantastic pool in the front garden and have a yearly pool party for Arillas forumers!

Love your thinking Jo - I would try to buy the land next to Portofino and build a Villa there. :-)

Ditto Nic! See my students to end of their year while the house here is being done up, then take residence in one of Alex Manatos' apartments near the beach in Arillas, and take my time finding a permanent home nearby. What a wonderful dream.

Hello jim and pauline. Love your comments.

Quotethrow my high blood pressure tablets away and make the nut my local

The second part would cause the first. My blood pressure always falls when I'm in the Nut. Just occasionally I fall down with it.....

After winning the lottery a quick trip to Paris to get my hand made Chanel suit made and then a quick trip to Tahiti to get a traditional Polynesian tattoo done with a traditional method.

The next stop would be Arillas and I sure somewhere there is a house on a side of a mountain with my name on it and I would get a dog and couple of chicken and drink vino at the porch watching the sun move across the sky.

One can dream eh.... *deep sigh* 8)

I would be on the next plane to Corfu!
Pay for a proper bathroom and a kitchen to be fitted in my house (instead of just making do with the shower room and a do-it-yourself flatpack kitchen from Ikea)
Set my kids up in a home of their own in the UK.
Then give the rest to Corfu Dog Rescue and the Donkey Sanctuary.
After all - who needs millions when you can wake up in North West Corfu every morning  :-)

I would..

1, Say goodbye to my boss (in a slightly less polite way) lol

2, Buy one of those fancy sheds that come with a porch and fancy windows for my dog so he can have an upgrade from his kennel ha!

3, I would get my cats a couch of their own so they can keep their flippin claws out of mine! lol

4, As i already have 2 trips to Arillas booked for this year, i would book a couple for next year

5, Get a case packed, head to the airport and hop on a plane to wherever!

6, Make sure i'm back in time for August 1st :-)



Both my Mum and Dad have had 5 numbers before (twice for my Dad!) so i'm hoping i'll be the one to bag 6! :-D - I wish!!!
