I never like the question about what I'd do if I won the lottery as the responsibility to give away the money wisely is just too great. How I would carry on doing my job but maybe as a volunteer so I could focus on the supporting mums rather than spend any time justifying the role which is what has to happen if funding is attached to it. I much prefer this question asked yesterday where I could do what I want for a month, with money no object.
I would pack up the car, only not this car (which stressed me no end yesterday by not starting, and now it is going again has a worrying rattle from underneath). It would be a reliable spacious car, and in all my loved ones would get and head off to the north west of Scotland. There would be a planner - not me - who would relay a manageable timetable, no pressured deadlines. They would just let me know what the next b and b is that they had booked, or the next campsite. We would have a sat nav (in real life I'm hoping to buy a sat nav this week, it's tricky doing home visits without one) that would guide us to each lochside spot, where we would linger for a day or 2 or3 before moving on. There would be rafts waiting to play about with on the lake, and cream teas and hot showers. All meals provided, I'd have to arrange nothing. Time to read, walk, chat, play board games.
Meanwhile back at home a team of cleaners would come in and give the house a deep clean from top to bottom. Gardeners would clear the jungle. Someone would deal with all the post, all my work commitments, so when I came back all refreshed nothing had mounted up in my absence. And on the last day once we were home again and settled back (no post holiday washing, that had all been done as we went along) we'd buy a kitten , kittens bring so much joy.
Bloomin car. Won't start again. When's this month starting then?
