OMG I won something!!

Hi,
I am absolutely stunned, let me tell you why. The last two weeks have been the unluckiest of my life, I think - I'm not very lucky at the best of times! It started with my car windows being smashed, then I caught some youngsters throwing glass bottles at my door (this used to be such a quiet area!), then this week I had some wires cut on my car so the fuel pump wouldn't work (two other cars had the fuel pump cut totally), then one of my dogs got sick (but now recovering) and I have had a nightmare trying to get my radio code back after the garage disconnected the battery to sort the wiring out. Then yesterday I had my 6 months review at work and was told the money I was promised when I started probably wont happen, so I'm left on crap money or have to find something else.
So this morning I thought "I'm having a lie in" when my postie woke me up with a leter from a travel company. I have won an all expenses paid trip to New York for 3 nights to be taken by June 07! I am stunned! I have been entering loads of competitions for months and keep reading all your stories of things you have won and never thought I would win anything so amazing. I am hoping that my luck has changed now and perhaps lots of winnings are coming my way to make up for this! (I've always been a positive person throughout!!)
So to those of you that think you'll never win either, don't give up because one day it will be your turn for something nice to pop through your letter box. My first was today.
I'm off to decide who to take with me!

Fantastic Julie! You really deserve it! Well done! Enjoy & do look at it as if you're luck has changed... cos if you feel lucky, you get lucky, and if you don't get lucky you feel better whilst waiting anyway!
