Shock item of post

Strat · 14-04-2007

I had a letter through this morning which came as a great shock.
After a mere 54 years one of my £1 premium bonds has won.
I have attached a black bin liner to the letterbox in anticipation of the begging letters.
The National Saving people are sending round a financial advisory team to help me with my win but family comes first after a little indulgence by myself.

Congratulations, Strat.
I have had a £5 bond for 52 years and a £10 for 51 and won zilch with both

Small win? Nah, Strat must be rich - the minimum is £25.

Remember you are unique - just like everyone else

At the minimum you can buy a couple of nice curry's and some Guinness - that for me is heaven

Strat · 14-04-2007

OK it £25 but every little helps and I don't usually win anything anywhere.

I got all excited just now as there was a loud thud from the front door as the postie delivered. I thought it might be my new lasers for a project but turned out to be a Toolstation catalogue

That ripping noise you can hear is my begging letter being torn to shreds
Unless that is you could take pity on me?

Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Sorry, I can't show favouritism cousin Petlew
