well I got my cash back for the camera lens, so I took the cheque to the bank which is approx 6 miles away, I never go to town so this is just a visit to the bank, so when I got home the wife tells me she has just received a cheque in the post from the tax man, talk about being mad, i think I will wait till next week before I take the cheque to the bank in case another one pops through the door.

they say things happen in threes lets hope I win the lottery.

Wish I had the sort of annoyances you suffer!

Good luck with the lottery! That is where we regularly win, though never more than appr £70 which has happened twice since we started playing when the whole thing started.

Do not mention winning on the lottery, on the 5th week of the lottery, I thought we had won the big one i was going hysteric my head was in cloud cuckoo land, my lads asked me if I was ok and I told them to ring there mother at work and hand her notice in and come home this minute, I was shaking from head to toe, never fealt excitement like that before, oh boy I was really infected with thinking i had won the jackpot, then the wife walked through the door, she said calm down give me the ticket I need to check it, and she said you dozy bugger, you have 5 numbers up not 6, good job I never handed my notice in she said. Well thats our story of winning big on the lottery, only £1300 but it got us 2 weeks in spain all inclusive, only won the odd tenner ever since our big win on the lottery.  ;D

Yes only £1300, I could not believe it either. But you need the bonus ball to win big with 5 numbers.

I was in a syndicate of 6 (I think it was!) when it first started and we were always winning tenners - and at least one £60 - contract we were on finishing and have won almost bugger all since :(

Funnily enough a labourer on the same site won about £600K.

Our oven last Christmas day packed up, we had to ask a neighbor to cook our turkey, I do not think they were well pleased, oh well at least you have tomorrow to pick one up and yes more expense.

It wouldn't be Christmas if a major household appliance didn't pack in.

It's hiding in the bushes at night, trying to catch the wildlife on Clapton Common.  :o

Wrap up warm tonight before you go to bed, you should sweat it out by morning.  :tup:

Thanks for the advice Mick and Oldboy :tup: Hopefully the weather is as bright and sunny as the forecast reckon it will be so a long brisk walk with the dog in the morning will help.
