Nicola H Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) I entered the Euro Millions Lottery on line yesterday for the first time, only had 3 lines but there was a promise of £35,000,000 to be won so I thought I would give it a shot...........After all I have had a major over spend this christmas. When I logged in to my e-mail account I had a message from the Lottery site saying we have very exciting news about your winning ticket please sign in now and check your account.........My heart was pounding so hard I had to take several deep breaths....... It took what seemed like an age to get into my account to find out how much I had won.............. wait for it wait for it................... The pricely sum of £6.80, oh well better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick ............. It may be enough to buy a bag of mixed corn for the girls Christmas present I am sure they will be very grateful.

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Do you think it will change her? Will she be thinking of a gold plated eglu. Will she still talk to us on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkin Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Might stretch to a (small) tin of gold PAINT for the eglu I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 I shall have to think about that Mel................Oh well go on then. Not sure the girls would like a colour change on the Eglu......But I might get them some tinsel, and a small tree........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 My begging letter to you is in the post, Nicola. Please be generous at this time of year. I have a husband, two children and 3 chickens to support !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I'll see you husband, 2 children and 3 chickens and raise you one husband with 3 woggles, 8 chooks and a rather fat catfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Are we going to fight in the playground over who gets Nicola's Christmas hand out, Mel ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Me too. I'm positively paddling through all the tears now ! My cardboard box is disintegrating.....I need a new home now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I would take you in Kate, but my brown paper bag is soggy too. Nicola, have you seen how many people have viewed the topic...probably all thinking, from the title, that you'd had a massive win! PS. A new box and bag would cost less than £6.80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Well to stop all the fighting I have already spent it, sorry I know it didn't take me very long............And it didn't go on chicken food I used it to buy myself another lottery ticket for tonight........I know gambling is an addiction and I will probably lose it all but I just couldn't help myself, so fingers crossed everyone if I have a big win I may share it amongst friends on the forum................ And the chooks will get their corn it may even stretch to a bag of mealworm........Lovely on toast..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I don't know how you can be so self centred you money grabbing youngsters - is that all you can think about, Me Me Me. If you had one ounce of compassion you would donate all those Eurowhatsits to help the aged. Me I have three chickens, 40 fish - can't remember all their names except Hoover and Dyson, who vacuum up all the food and are the two hugest blackest carp in the pond world! One even older husband, flocks of wild birds, mice, (field) and many hangers on! Silver begging bowl being brought out of the cupboard, and what was it they said to use to clean it with - just off to another thread to have look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Oh no, if only Nicola hadn't spent it already...I would never have mentioned my soggy paper bag if I'd realised that you had over 40 fish to support... Hold on, we have over 40 fish too! We only named 2, and Goldie, a koi carp died in the autumn...enormous! I carefully weighed her so I could report to LSH who was away for 3 weeks. She weighed something and a half pounds. I'd actually forgotten the number...it could have been 7lb...or 3...or 5. Casper is a ghost koi....must be lonely, if only I could afford a treat for him....about £6.80 would do. OK, when Nicola wins tonight, shall we split it 4 ways, Kooringa? You, me, Kate and...er...Nicola? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 We found an almost used up roll of sticky tape so have mended the cardboard box for a bit. It'll perhaps last a little longer but if you do win again Nicola, you know where we are. "Cardboard Cottage" Down and Out Lane, Stoney Broke, Lincolnshire!

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 We used to have 21 fish except the fat catfish ate the 20 neons I really hope tonight is your night Nicola - after all SOMEONE has to win - lets home its you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Sorry to dissapoint you all, as predicted I got 6 numbers but they were all on different lines...............

Sheilaz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 .. ...some good news though; the paper bag has dried out! Kate....you live in a lane...oooh, what luxury! Our paper bag blew across a 6 lane motorway, into a hedge, and it was a thorny hedge at that, and then......... ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
