It was all the rage back along wasn't it. I bought it back then and did it a few times, I never got all the way through though.
Thank you, it did make me feel good!

I had a surprise £5 in my account this morning from a lottery win last week that they didn't email me about. So that's been padded.

How nice to have a surprise lottery win. Strange they didn't let you know.

Thank you 😊
It was a nice surprise, and weird I didn't get the email. When I logged on to the app, there were about 5 messages for the same win, so there must have been a glitch. I did check it shouldn't have been a million 😆
