For Just One Second

Anything and everything I can do online, I do – shopping, paper less bills, lottery etc I do it. I’m not sure if I’m lazy, just love IT, or feel greener about running my life in this way, but I am very much an online person.

Yesterday I opened my email and saw a message from the nice people at the National Lottery – the email subject read, ‘News about your ticket!’ I knew this meant that I had a winning ticket from Saturday night. Hoorah.

For the 10 or 20 seconds it takes you to close down the email, open up a browser, type in the URL for the national lottery and log in with your account details, it really is quite funny. You are silently repeating to yourself, ‘it’ll be a tenner’ ‘it’ll be a tenner’ ‘it’ll be a tenner’ ‘it’ll be a tenner’ ‘it’ll be a tenner’ but way back in the back of your mind you’re hoping, ‘let it be a million, please let it be the big M’ knowing full well ‘it’ll be a tenner’

And it was! A tenner!

One day………………….

I have given up on the lottery! Not a jot, in so long! So I wait for my dad to phone with his secret codeword to let me know he has won! I think he is going loopy with old age, like your dog.

Sounds all too familiar. But friends, family and colleagues that don't, think people like us are strange! : )

Perhaps we are......
