Shock item of post

[#1]

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

I can't decide if your serious or joking about a small win like a fiver lol.

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

[#5]

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

[#6]

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

Still a good meals worth out of the blue

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?
