10 euros on a double at the Curragh! The clerk at the Tote window misheard me. I said 'fourteen and twenty' to finish first and second. He heard 'four and twenty'. My choice of horse fourteen finished nowhere. His 'wrong' bet paid out 900 euros. I was about to throw away the ticket when I saw what he'd put and, to my surprise and relief, collected.
Seeing how my kids and grandkids are spread around the world....my best buy was my laptop.....added Skype and can see them all any time I like.....magic!
£1 for a box containing 35 pairs of shoes at an auction. I sold them on Ebay for £497. This paid for me to go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and a trip to Manchester to see Neil Diamond
When I decided to take money out of the bank and buy the sports car I had always wanted since I was 17 ! Family did not believe I was going to go ahead until they saw the red car parked outside. This happened when I was 55, still got it and still love it -----best money ever spent on me :)
My GHD's have without a doubt made my life easier. And they've lasted me yonks. Well worth the extra on the price tag. And no matter what anyone says, no other straighteners come close to comparing.
I'm hoping to make another similar ish purchase that will also make my life easier. I just need to find £400.
