Hi Kathy,
I had hoped you would have been luckier with your numbers as ours are similar but maybe your turn next time.
Did you find anything exciting in the loft? Mine is the only organised place in my house, I even wrote out a plan of where everything is put! Mind you, I am not sure where the plan is at the mo, altho I have a rough idea lol
Hope J didn't come across too many spiders and that his census work is going ok.
My lad is doing another stint at an evening job he did last year, something to do with inputting prices and details about food online, not sure if it's for the tills at various stores or what, but he enjoyed it last time and the company asked the agency to try and get him again as he was such a good worker. It will be a bit of extra cash for him but means he has to go in early to his day job, leave there at 4 and get to the other place, a long walk away, by 5, work to 9pm and then another long walk home. He will be so tired bless him, but it's just for ten days so he can rest up afterwards.
Are you getting the insulation through the Warm Front type set up?

A nuisance about the census details, did you say any naughty words?


Lol Shelly, tea and buns it is then, help yourself
Sadly the money will have to go in the pot for bills, as usual but was nice picking it up from Sainsbury's yesterday.

Had to cancel my counselling appointment yesterday pm as the amount of walking I did on Sunday, some of it on sand, really did me in, my hips and knees were so painful on Monday when I woke I just had to go back to bed and rest rather than drive to the place I see the counsellor.

I really need to walk more often so that I strengthen my legs again, it's so painful tho so I tend not to go far and then when I do, it hurts even more the next day. Won't lose weight if I sit around tho, will I?

Thanks folks, well I did get treated by son and o.h, (haven't cashed the ticket yet)
O.h. picked my son up after he had been to see his Dad and stepmum, and brought him back here so I got a lovely worded card as usual and some flowers, disappointingly son forgot how much I loved the tulips he brought me last year and the previous year, and got carnations, which altho very pretty, various shades of burgundy, pink and cream, remind me so much of my late Dad. He loved carnations and freesias.

We went to the coast (Hemsby) and had a very nice afternoon, pleasant weather and a nice walk along the dunes nosing at all the different little holiday bungalows and those lived in all year round - if the win had been larger I would love to buy one to spend lots of time in. Met up with dog walkers and such who stopped to chat, and I also found a gorgeous skirt in one shop so o.h. treated me to that! (£9.99 down from £16.99)
As we started the drive home it poured with rain so we made our way to our favourite pizza shop and bought pizzas etc home to eat rather than stay out longer - we were all so tired after walking quite a long way.
O.h. took son home around 10pm - a lovely day and great to spend time with my lad.

Liz I hope you cashed it in BEFORE you treated everyone to lunch!!
BTW the broken mirror is one less thing to sort!!!! Forget the 7 years bad luck, that's already happened, so you can move on now with confidence!!
Hugs,
Mary

Congrats Liz...a nice bit of luck.


I still have't checked mine from last Friday when it was a rollover....I could be a multi millionaire don't you know.

Every week I do the line of lottery numbers my late Mum chose and asked me to get for her from her pension which I collected from the Post Office.
She died six weeks later but nearly 16 years on I still do them as am afraid that the week I stop they will come up. I have had a couple of tenners at times, but just checked my numbers (forgot earlier) and I am sure I have won £84!!!!!!

Dinner's on me today - my son was scratching around to find enough money to pay and o.h. thought he might have to cough up, now I can buy us lunch whereever we want to go.



Whooopeeeeee!

The other evening my son accidentally broke a mirror he had at his flat, it was mine but he was storing it for me. Hmmmm!

Oh and Kathy by the sea, hope you had some luck too, I think our numbers are similar.

I also got two numbers on another line and one on the third line I do, but they won't pay out.
