    Did you buy the lottery ticket? I can think of worse things :)

    Sending you a jauntily decorated articulated lorry covered in carnival lights (think Christmas Coca Col@ adverts) full of job vibes.

    No one has ever given me a lorry before!

    Didn't buy the ticket. Did spend 90 min fussing and loving ponyplops so she could cope with the tractor in her field.

    Made £56 on the bay.
