A winner!


For the past few years, Keith has done the lottery online and often won £10, which he disregarded as paltry, but which I thought was pretty good really and at least it was £10 better than nothing. However, as we both would have preferred a larger win, just a couple of million would do, I kept encouraging him, as in "You're obviously not doing it properly. Try harder!"
This morning, however, he informed me that we had won £156!
I have to inform you now that our lives will not change and we don't intend to spend it on a 5 bedroomed, detached house in a desirable area, plus a couple of top of the range cars, a yacht and private helicopter. No, we will continue to be ordinary, everyday people continuing to go about our normal, everyday lives.
To avoid disappointment, however, and because a refusal often offends, I would like to state that begging letters will be disregarded.
I know, it's tough, but there you are!

Jenny - - what a wonderful, warm human being you are. Just mentioning it. In passing. In case.

Can I post my begging letters here?

Daphne, your compliment is duly noted. ;)
SP, the second word is 'off'! ;)

Ha ha! The boot's on the other foot!

Reading your post prompted me to check my own lotto tickets. Guess what? Not one, but two £10 prizes.

Just finished booking my flights to the Bahamas.

Congratulations and well done. It's very brave of you not to let it change your lives. I would spend, spend spend all £156 :)

Surely if you lower your sights to a 4 bedroom house instead, you should even get some change. You are in Wales after all !

Just wondering, did you miss the multiplier 'k' off the winning amount: £156k or maybe that should be 'M' with your current aspirations?

Congratulations, SP. We'll be round tonight. ;)
Rosie, Keith already has plans for it - boring man stuff though. :(
Ian, if only...!
Lucy, sadly no. Just living in cloud cuckoo land, as usual. ;)

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
