March 2021: Having spent my last £1 coin one month on a lottery ticket and then snuggled up in bed using the last of the electricty to watch the Lotto draw, I discover that I am suddenly a multi-millionaire. I spend the next few weeks in a bit of a daze wondering what this all means, before seeing the dosh actually arrive in my account, and deciding to buy a car. I am briefly obstructed in this by the need to update my driving license, but after quitting my 5-hour a week job I finally manage to hire a friend to come to my place every morning and nag me out of bed, and thus eventually get around to finding and sorting out the paperwork.
It belatedly occurs to me that I ought to pay off my still outstanding 40k of debts before buying any more toys, so I get that done next. Then I sleep for a week, overcome with a blissful sense of a quartet of planets having been lifted off my shoulders.
Getting used to the idea that I can now afford to pay for a decent fried breakfast or lunch anytime I want one, I spend a pleasant afternoon in the local cafe pondering my next move. I embark on a hunt for a property that's a lot bigger and more comfortable than my current gaff, somewhere between here and the M4, whilst wondering about the possibility of setting up a filkish commune/suite of appartments somewhere...
