They have won 11 million on the lottery - I am so chuffed for them.....got me thinking what a totally life changing experience that would be..... I'm a tad jealous too me thinks LOL

0% card not arrived yet but not heard anything saying I can't have it cos I'm changing jobs - hopefully this week should see it drop through the door.
Taxi it was my friend phoned me - I haven't seen the actual people who won the lottery for about 30 years other than to say hi to - but they are a lovely couple. Still can't get my head around the idea of 11 million - bet all those years ago when we lived on a council estate he never expected all that cash - she lived in posh houses up the road when she moved here from Newcastle - I used to have a Saturday job at her dads shop with her LOL - they were childhood sweethearts. Bought a lottery ticket myself today for the 1st time in years didn't do me much good - got 2 numbers and that was me lot!!
Been out with ds today and had a lovely day.

Yeah - I agree 11 million too much - could give us all a bit LOL
Have been out looking at caravans again today - ours is nearly 20 years old and we used it when the kids were young - we still use it now but there is a lot of wasted space in it. There were several rubbishy ones at about 4 grand - we wouldn't be any better off getting one of those. There was a great big jump to about 10 grand only one of those. THEN there was a brand new one - it was gorgeous but was 13 thousand pounds - mmmmm - but I'd certainly rather pay that than get the one at 10 grand - now WHERE can I rob a bank................
It has really given us food for thought though - we had NO intention of looking at brand newies - but it would do us FOREVER....and it everything you would ever need - it is small enough to tow with our car. This has given me a new momentum to pay the debts off and get saving - by which time they will have gone out of production LOL LOL LOL
Think I'll start buying a lottery ticket again.
