Last week my brothers and his wife who live locally won £40,000+ on the national lottery.
She was part of a 16 person syndicate at Lismore primary school who won £700,000 between them. How good is that?

I know someone who started work there the week previously, she was offered a place in the syndicate, but declined!

Franck, I wouldn't bother pursuing his/her lottery numbers.

I'm glad I'm not related to you Porty. Is there anything at all that you would consider too personal to put into this forum? I was going to tell you a secret but I don't think I'll bother now, and if I ever need advice on where to invest my fortune I will go to someone who appreciates the concept of confidentiality. Give my congratulations to your brother anyway and please forwrd his address to me for the begging letter.

Good luck to them, Porty

Was it a real lotto win?
According to my emails I won the lottery every day for a week

Also cars, job offers , spam, spam, spam
( filter now letting emails from mum through but blocked Mr Soupy, seems ok then

)

A bit of good news is that Clanger 4 has not been deterred from going out and about.
His face hasn't bruised much ( arnica cream ) but the inside of his mouth is still sore

Make sure its a qualified and registered Independent Financial Adviser too. I'm a mortgage broker, I wasn't keeping it a secret it just seemed to escape your reknowned attention to detail.

So good to hear that Clanger 4 hasn't let his bad experience put him off going out again!! He's a brave lad!!

Thanks folks.

he's a bit miffed that I keep asking where he's going , when he'll be back, ( the usual unreasonable things that parents do ) then sending texts to make sure he's ok.

Muuuum! It's not as bad as everyone thinks!

I was putting the messages in the car at Asda and dropped a bottle, which broke. The trolly guys who swept up told me to take the top in and customer services would give me another. And they did. So I don't feel such anumpty now.

Sorry to hear what happened to Clanger 4(haven't been on much, the last few days)

Glad to hear he has recovered okay though, it certainly makes you more nervous for a while. Kids? who'd have them eh?

They're why we get grey hairs I think!

Have I missed something? Is Clanger 4 okay?

Thanks Poppy.
Poor Clanger 4 and poor Soupdragon.
You both must have been pretty badly shaken.
Hope all is okay now.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 01 Apr 2007, 20:38

Thanks BM he's fine
Arnica on his face helped with the bruising and arnica tabs.
He's been out and about. In at the moment tho' ( phew )
