Married couple who scooped lottery win still do clothes shopping in CHARITY SHOPS Graham, 55, and Amanda Nield, 48, said they cannot handle expensive shopping and prefer to live the way they did before their win last August They got married this year in Dewsbury Registry Office, West Yorkshire The couple have told family not to expect lavish Christmas presents Winners: Graham Nield, 55, and Amanda Vickers, 48, celebrate winning £6,676,215 last year When Graham and Amanda Nield scooped £6.6m on the lottery their lives were changed forever. But despite having riches beyond their dreams the couple have been unable to change their previously thrifty ways. They have shunned the opportunity to splash out on expensive jewellery, designer clothing and new top-of-the-range cars to continue with a frugal lifestyle. Clothes come from the market and charity shops at minimum cost, they still scour car boot sales for bargains and intend to start Christmas shopping for their large family by going to the January sales as usual. Mrs Nield, 48, said: "I can't change my habits. My friend took me to Harvey Nichols in Leeds and I nearly passed out at the prices. I am not used to it. Her recent purchases have included buying herself a new skirt - costing £6 from the local market - and jumpers for her husband from the same place are usually priced £2. While he bought her a £3 pair of second hand shoes from a charity shop, although they had caught his eye because they were the same style as the ones she wore on their first date. The couple met through work 12 years ago. He was the manager at a company making carpets for cars and she worked as a supervisor. The divorcees have five children between them from previous relationships and 13 grandchildren. They lived together in Batley, West Yorkshire, for years and Mr Nield, 56, finally plucked up the courage to propose shortly after hitting the jackpot last August. With their newly-won riches the couple could have chosen an exotic location anywhere in the world to tie the knot, but true to form they went for the simple option. The Register Office ceremony took place at Dewsbury Town Hall and was attended only by immediate family. Mrs Nield even saved money by wearing a dress borrowed from a friend and Mr Nield wore a suit several years old. They now have the money to buy a fleet of cars, but she drives a two-year-old Hyundai and he has a five-year-old Kia. Mr Nield said: "People keep asking me if I am going to get a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, but what would be the point. We just want to be comfortable, we are so used to living within our means. Spend: They refuse to splurge on Christmas presents or their wedding, preferring their normal lifestyle Commenting on becoming multi-millionaires, he added; "It is a headache. The money generates a whole new avenue of problems. We have a solicitor and a financial advisor and we have regular meetings but at the moment it is just sitting in the bank. The couple previously had a joint income of around £50,000, but could only afford to rent their home. That has now changed and the one exception to their refusal to splash the cash on themselves has been in buying a house. They are having a three-bedroom bungalow built for them to live with Mrs Nield's parents. Her 72-year-old father James is in the late stages of Alzheimer's Disease after suffering from it for a decade and her mother Joan is recovering from cancer and has severe arthritis. They hope one day to start a business, but the win has enabled Mrs Nield and her husband to quit their jobs to become carers. "Amanda is determined to look after her parents herself and the easiest way to support her in doing that is to move in with them," he said. The couple have also fulfilled an ambition to buy each of their children a house as well. However, with Christmas approaching they haven't changed their customary budget for presents of £50 per person in the family. And Mr Nield doesn't have to worry about what to get his wife because he's already spent money on her. "I have put four new tyres on Amanda's car," he said. I got them at a discount.
