*gulp* not a board win but...

I won £30,000 on the People's Postcode Lottery - they came round with my 'cheque' this morning (money actually goes into my account in 3-4 weeks).

I have had the best monday EVER.

    Thanks :D - I almost cancelled the DD right after Christmas having never heard of anyone winning (and thought I had - was a bit of a panic moment when I initially got an email saying I'd won something (they didn't tell me how much) on Friday when I had the 'but I'm sure I cancelled that' moment!)

    Unexcitingly but pragmatically it's pretty much all going to reduce debt - that will clear ALL of our credit cards and car loan at which point said plastic demons will be cut into a thousand pieces and ceremoniously burnt.
