I've Won!!!

My friend just asked me if I had checked the lottery from Sat and I completely forgot I had put a lucky dip on, so she went through the numbers with me and each one she said I marked off I got too 4 numbers and my heart started beating so fast! lol:eek: :rotfl:
It stoppped there but at least I am £38 better off!:T :j
It was a very exciting moment!:o :D
I think I will put it towards our xmas shop so we can have a lovely worry free xmas after the horrible one we had last year!
Do you think I could spend £5 of it on a chinese for me and the kids as a treat?
all the bills are paid and before I won this I had £10 of ME money to last until fri-there's nothing we want or need as we are doing our shopping (with budget) on wednesday.
But I still feel guilty spending money on "luxuries!"

Why is a person that handles your money called a broker?!:confused:

    Well done! Course you should spend some on a treat for you and the kids! You sound like you already had things under control so see this as a reward! Enjoy it. :T

    Lucky you!:beer:

    Only you know what you should spend it on but if you're asking for permission then you have it - go and treat yourselves to a little 'luxury'!:D

    Fantastic news! :j
    I would have the cheapy chinese takeaway as you wouldn't have done that otherwise & you don't get many chances to do that and it's an unexpected bonus. The rest can go on the food shopping. That's a treat and being practical at the same time. Don't feel guilty.

    Well you know what they say you have to be in it to win it!
    It is probably the 1st time I've forgot I put it on and as it looks like a tesco reciept I probably would have thrown it out if it wasn't for my workmate!
    thanks everyone, so excited! lol-doesn't take much to please me!
    Since coming on this board I have been quite lucky with money before I never won a thing!
    thanks martin lewis and all of you guys!
    this xmas I don't need to worry about any nasty letters cos we are getting there slowly but surely!;)
