    Fantastic news Jim - Many congratulations.

    I've always hoped that one day someone from this thread would have a major win and that they would post ....

    Karma and all that - sweet !!

    Don't get too excited it was just £10 on a lucky dip which I have gone halves on with Dad so just £4.50 really. But it is the first time I have ever won.

    I logged on this morning and was so happy for you. Now i hear it is only a tenner. Still it is a tenner more than i ever get. Whoop whoop!!!!

    Maybe your dad will come back with a nice cake and a bottle of champers and you can celebrate.
