I'd pay off all my debts, buy my parents a house to retire to, get them all the medical treatment they need, buy myself a house to retire to, invest in my brother's business so that the money keeps coming to support us all, and then travel business class around the world.

6. Favorite movie/movies? Again, loads to choose from but the Princess Bride is an all-time favourite.

7. Best Coffee Table Book? For a real coffee table book I'd like my friend to do a book of his photographs as he's got an amazing talent and a quirky spin on things. Books I actually have on my coffee table are all by Terry Pratchett - he's a legend!

8. Favorite way to spend a Sunday? If I was in the UK it would be an autumn/winter day, cold enough to wrap up in coats and boots but not so cold that I'm turning blue. It starts with a lazy morning of fun naked activity followed by breakfast, then a walk to the pub for lunch, then home again for snoozing and lots more fun naked activity! In Dubai, Friday is the equivalent of Sunday, so my perfect Friday is in winter - sunny and warm but with a cool breeze - starts and ends the same as it would in the UK ;-) In between there'd be a cup of tea and pottering about in the garden in the sunshine, then dressing up and going for brunch with friends.
