Surprise, Surprise.

In the last week I have had three surprises, and very welcome ones at that. Whilst on holiday I treated myself to a £2. Scratch card. Big deal you might say, but I don’t normally indulge. When I scratched it off I had won £40. Wow, drinks all round that night.
Two days ago I heard that I had won second prize in a Hanover in Bloom competition for Best Kept Individual Garden and received £20. in Garden vouchers.
Now this morning I received a Garden voucher for £25. for completing a questionaire on the Shepton Mallet Garden Show over the internet. They say things come in threes, well I think I believe it now. Guess who is going to have fun at the Garden Centre ……..

You know what Cinders after reading about your good fortune I thought that will never happen to me because I never enter anything, so after buying something on the internet they asked if I fill in their survey I might win £100.
Never again, it went on forever ! Wasting my precious GoY time ! :0))

Oh Well, I don't usually enter things like that either, but hey, they were fairly local, so thought I would. It paid off for me....

You've been very fortunate with your prizes, Cinders....a nice cheer-you-up for wintertime :) What fun to look forward to a spending spree at the GC.

Thanks J. It certainly is. I haven't been out for nearly a week as my cough has made me feel poorly as well, but I have cheered up now ! Can't wait to go out now.
28 Oct, 2010
Hope you are soon fighting fit, Cinders. I've got a rotten sinus head today and have been napping this afternoon for 4 hours! Hubby treated himself to two cans of soup while I slept....no dinner made by wifey tonight!
28 Oct, 2010
Oh dear, hope you will sleep tonight then. If I had a sleep in daytime I wouldnt sleep at night. Hope you will feel better tomorrow then J.
28 Oct, 2010
Thank you Cinders....I have an outing planned for tomorrow so I don't want to feel poorly. I will probably sleep ok as I usually do sleep when this hits me. I'll soon be toddling off to my bed again as it's approaching midnight...need the beauty sleep....lol
