6 Parcels

I got all excited when the parcel man pulled up today, He knocked the door with 6 parcels - I almost died of excitement until he asked me to take them for next door as they werent home.:mad:

My luck has ended - I was winning all the time before xmas and now all my luck has gone :confused:

But I did get my apple tree yesterday which I won last year. My DS wanted to know why I had won a big branch :o
Total 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.

    Oh I'd've probably died of excitement before I got to the door which of course would've been a waste of time :rolleyes: I would have poked him in the eye, taunting you like that! I had nothing in December then 4 wins so far in Jan :D
