    I won £25 too @Skylarks and I struggle to win an argument!  Never mind the amount it just feels like a positive thing (oh and some shopping?) in a negative world  :)

    Ah, yay for you too @herbaceous. You’re right, any positive feels so much more right now with everything going on 😃

    Ernie gave me £100 this month, 4x25. One of them was from a bond bought 27 years ago and two were from a batch with numbers within 200 of each other, obviously a lucky batch.

    I've been wondering who this ERNIE was (unknown here in France) and finally found him/her(?) out:
    Lovely, ain't it? Even aged 60!
