Or not, maybe, depending on whether the scratchcard was a winning one.
OH's sis sent him a birthday card with 2 scratchcards in it. It never arrived.
Now, it seems to me that there are 3 options....1) a RM sorting machine somewhere has ate it, 2) a sneaky postie has nicked it, 3) a stupid postie has posted it through the wrong door.
My gut instinct (based on the amount of times I have to shout the postie back after he's given us mail for someone else) is option 3. But clearly I have no proof of this.
Why can't things just work as they are supposed to. The luck I'm having right now obviously means there was at least 1 winning scratchcard and someone else is sunning themselves on the very beach I'm supposed to be on right now.
/rant off.

That made me laugh out loud, Alleycat.
I've been getting paranoid about post missing, we have definitely not received a prescription that was sent out,Tesco clubcard points thingies and a few of the kids birthday cards came opened. This is all in 2010. My postie is so sweet, I would hate to doubt him.
Why is it the bills always manage to turn up?
Hope you get it sorted, Aliasojo, or maybe it's fate telling you to go out and replace it with 2 more - one of which being the winning one.0 -
