They dreamed of leaving their apartment plagued by mold

His happiness only lasted 10 minutes. Therefore her hopes and those of her husband of 54 years have gone up in smoke. They dreamed of leaving their mold-ridden apartment.

But, she had to face the facts. “We have returned to normal life. My husband is back at work, I wanted to earn something so he could afford to retire”, Margaret De Micheli told the Mirror.

“It’s very, very hard. “We would like to be able to leave the apartment. It is to be renovated this year, they are installing new windows. It’s very, very hard. We would like to leave the apartment for somewhere by the sea. I think Poole in Dorset is somewhere my husband would like to go“she added.

Margaret then said that returning to her damp, musty flat in London was overwhelming. : “I’ve managed to get all the mold out of the windows now. The windows above us all have mold, there is no protection.”

Despite her devastating defeat at the Euromillions, she does not lose hope

If Margaret wanted to win, it was above all for her husband of 78 years who is still working.
