A monster win

Kevicho

Go Lordi, Go Lordi

Thanks to a ten pound bet last thursday I withdrew a hundred and 50 pounds this morning, on my one and probably only bet ever.

I enjoyed the performance (wll lordi's) but i thought the rest were garbage, and being a guitar player with my own diy band im tempted to enter next year

I mean come on, our entry was rubbish!

This also follows a good week of selling on ebay so i should have an extra 250 quid in the bank that i didnt account for.

However that makes up for me going overbudget on going out, but then again ive made savings on sandwiches

What a weird month!, Roll on pay day

The smart money was definitely on Lordi last night, so well done Kevicho for cleaning up!

It was almost worth sitting through three hours of garbage for those three minutes of pure Eurovision gold.

If I promise to wear a latex mask, can I join you in Finland next year? :rotfl:

Kevicho

To be honest i was so tempted to put a hundred on them, but then i realised a lot of the voting is partisan and most of the dumb a$$ religious groups were trying (and in cypress the suceeded) to get heir performance banned so i didnt want to risk that much

As for finland next year, my band is rubbish, were better than daz tho!

Well done. A bit of budgeted for little flutters can pay off, its the big stuff I dont trust myself with. Ive even given up the lottery :money: and each quid we save per week will go into our pot for premium bonds, now thats gambling I like, you get your stake back every time!!

MinnieSpender

Ooh, Lynz, I wish I was that strong! The only gambling I've ever done is the lottery and I've had the same numbers since the beginning. It's one thing I won't give up though - because I KNOW that the week I don't do it is the week my numbers will come up.

Stupid, I know, but I think I can (almost) justify two quid a week.

104 a year. You could put that in Premium bonds, at least youd get your money back.

Ive won a tenner on lottery sats & wednesdays since it started. OH buys them as well and once won a tenner. Serious waste of money.

I hardly ever play the lottery but when I do I only spend a quid. No more. A quid buys a dream and that's ok in my book.

You'd blow more than that if you bought two fizzy cans of drink at work but no-one really bats an eyelid at that....and you're helping your teeth to rot in the process!

lynzpower

Ha well I gave up those too, LA!

I was so into diet coke that I worked it out that i was spending somewhere in the region of 750 a year on a conservative estimate on diet coke alone :rolleyes: Of course, I wont be giving up my lemonade for the havana club- when I can afford to buy some lol

I've been moderately lucky, I suppose. Few tenners, couple of 4 number wins and £2k a few years back. It's only a matter of time and as I don't drink fizzy drinks, that's my "coke" money! :rotfl:

If you drove from London to Bristol, and noted how many centimetres were on that journey, if you picked Just one of those centimetres, that would represent your chance of winning the lottery. having said that I know personally in this area, two lottery winners, one £450,000 and the other £2.6 milllion. I also know a woman who won £138,000 on the football pools and she also won £2000 on the lottery.

True, tes, but I'm not going to beat myself up over a couple of quid a week. I've already given up buses to work, shop-bought lunches, fancy brands at the supermarket, smoking and buying a book a week! It's my weekly dose of insanity and I'm sticking with it!
