i would give half away to carefully selected charities, i wouldnt just throw the cheque book at them tho. I would take an interest in them.

Then invest the rest into new up & coming businesses. Oh and a nice yearling from the sales!!

I'd go off on a round the world cruise for six months while I thought a bit about what to do with the money.

Not a plan for me, very difficult to find a cruise with Sky and 6 months without watching english horse racing is too much for me.
 
Buy a plot of land or farm ripe for conversion & build decent yard plus gallops. Really like to design own house.

Hire some staff, buy some decent horses then leave them in charge while I have some time off (have gone 9 years now without holidya so could do with one really). Quite keen on South America.

Other half will have long since left me (for 21yo Page 3 girl as personal masseuse) so advertise for replacement - not particularly fussy these days - Hugh Jackman would do fine.

Definitely donate to charity - most prob Parkinsons/MS/Brooke Hospital/Greyhounds/Animal Health Trust/Smile (charity to repair cleft palates in children in 3rd world countries).

Set up education trust for brothers kids & my god-daughter.

Buy decent car, get v expensive decent haircut/colour, go shopping for plenty of clothes & shoes etc

I could blow my second half on a divorce, which would make me available B)
 
£10 Million

A few horses certainly
A box at Old Trafford
A rampant six week Vegas fest
A box at Newmarket and Cheltenham
A few dirty women
 
£10 million

A few yearlings passed over by Sheikh M on the grounds that they are by Coolmore sires to be sent to HRA Cecil and Sir M Stoute .

A large donation to ILPH and Oxfam

A big party

That'll do for starters

Not sending them to Sir Bloody then! Or will you just settle for them to be ridden by KF instead :lol:

But what would you do with the remaining £9, 999, 950?[/b][/quote]
How cutting :D
 
Oh, I nearly forgot: the forum party! A few boxes for all of us at Glorious Goody, with gorgeous food and drink all day, travel costs paid (no, that doesn't mean I buy you all a Ferrari!), accom thrown in, partners and offsproing welcome, dancing afterwards, and hopefully some extremely risque behaviour in the car parks later...
 
I have everything I need right now. I have horse in training with possibly a new one next year, a horse I can ride at the weekends, a lovely house, a gorgeous boyfriend, money in the bank, a new car (with a little dent in it) :blink: , plenty of days out to the races (I have been 3 times this week), a great social life, and so far, I am in pretty good health ...so, the £10 million would all have to go to worthy causes of which I support a few already.

It's taken a long time and a lot of very hard work to get here but now I intend to enjoy the fruits of my labour by working less and playing more. Money can't buy you happiness, and I have to say, I am pretty damn happy at the moment! B)
 
I would get lashed for about a year. Would move to Gibraltar ;) ;) and then have the mother of all parties.

I would tell some pupils at my school what I really think of them (that would be fun) and then the same to the Head.

Is this the type of person we want looking after our children...?
 
I doubt your children would treat me the way those at my school do...

I would particularly like to have a quiet word with the three who have spat at me, the 4 who have thrown a punch at me and the 20 odd who have told me to f*** off.
