I had a lovely day yesterday. I went to see Heather, who you might remember from the time I went into Leicester and had no money. A suitable theory might have been that Heather == Bad luck with regard to money. This is no longer true though.
Yesterday afternoon, in the village post office, I bought a scratchcard. I’m not going to say which village, because I heard that my blog is the “Link of the day” on some sort of rapist forum. Point is, I got a “beginners luck” scratchcard on a whim, and won! I scratched off each panel, trying to reveal three of the same amount. The amounts varied: £5000, £30, £2000, £4, £4, £4! I’d won Four Great British Pounds! How chuffed was I?!
The best bit was, being the cheapskate that I am, I actually finished up “earning” more money than I spent yesterday… if we don’t count my driving lesson, as it’s a lost cause.
I think Heather was embarassed by my delight at winning, what some cynics might say, is a paltry amount. She didn’t return to the post office with me to collect my well earnt winnings. Tsk.
I’d say “Other than that, I had a lovely day”, but truth be told, today’s blog entry is a constantly upbeat one. I’m reporting good news, rather than the bad or neutral. So there is no “Other than that”, to mention.
I had a lovely day. Thanks again for letting me invite myself round, Heather!
