Whoopee-doo! A letter has just arrived from Littlewoods Football Pools in Liverpool. I have won just under £100,000! £99,875.12 to be exact. It's almost unbelievable!
Rather than keeping all of this money to myself and my family, I have decided to give £10,000 to one lucky blogger! You have to spread the love around. At today's rates £10,000 is $13,094US.
I am open-minded about who will receive the money or for what purpose. To be in with a shout of winning it, all you have to do is to leave your bid in the comments below. Just tell me what you want the money for. Please don't go into too much detail. Just a brief, succinct explanation will do. Bids that are too lengthy will be rejected.
It could be you! Good luck!
I think you should keep it!
ReplyDeleteEasy come, easy go. We will be very happy with £89,000 JayCee. More than enough.
DeleteI am no fool :)
DeleteI think the full quote is " I may, Professor Lyall, be a trifle enthusiastic in my manner and dress, but I am no fool." from "Blameles" by Gail Carriger.
DeleteWere I to receive a windfall such as yours, I would spend every cent....no foolin'. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay Mistress Kelly but what would you spend every cent on? Perhaps a chocolate fireguard?
DeleteI would donate it to Vote Leave.
ReplyDeleteIf that is your intention Tasker, you may instead require a course of psychotherapy.
DeleteI'd give it all away to someone more foolish than me!
ReplyDeleteLike Marco?
DeleteGimmeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteEver heard of the word "please"? And where's your bid?
DeleteNo! Gimmeeeeee now!! 🤓
DeleteWhich Swiss finishing school did you attend Iris?
DeleteUhhmmm, 'Humble'-dore, however they kicked me out. I always thought that was rather rude of them.
DeleteI already found the fish on my back - was that you that put it there?
ReplyDeleteYou are so silly girl!
DeleteAfter paying off some plastic debt, I would divide the rest among my three children and six grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteYour selflessness is most admirable Lord Brague.
DeleteMy banqueting hall needs new gold leaf on all the chair legs. £10,000 would go some of the way to doing that. Alternatively the money could go towards providing the footman and gardener with a paid holiday. They're always bleating on about that.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that these issues must be causing you unwelcome distress Lady A'Ddy
DeleteGive it to Oxfam!
ReplyDeleteA fine idea that typifies your worldly vision and selfless generosity.
DeleteThe air conditioning on my car died and I can't afford to fix it. The summers here are hot.....
ReplyDeleteAnd other worthy causes....
Please.
Pretty please, Mr pudding sir
It is a good call but ADDY's bid above seems more desperate.
DeleteWell, since I do not have a blog I am not a blogger, only a bloggee... However I do congratulate you on your win!
ReplyDeleteIn the sixties such girls were known as groupies.
DeleteThis could be April Fool's too! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou should have been a detective Red!
DeleteI should love to replace all my old spaghetti trees. They are almost dead........
ReplyDeleteI suspect that you have rumbled me Christina. Everybosy knows that spaghetti does not grow on trees. It is mined.
DeleteA windfall would be great right now. I am saving to replace the roof on my house and add new siding, as well. So far I have $ 10,000.00 US saved, but of course, not enough. So it will wait.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope this is not an April fool's joke. I do enjoy reading your blog though, it offers some very different points of view.

April Fool's joke? What are you talking about?...Oh, I just checked my calendar!
DeleteI'm no April Fool! But that much money would go a long way when granted in micro-loans to people in developing countries.
ReplyDeleteIs Canada classed as a developing country?
DeleteNo; I was being serious about that part.
DeleteHmmm, I confess I would probably take such a sum and begin the work on our new homestead, building a lovely red & white barn for my goaties to frolic about in...no foolin'!
ReplyDeleteFrolic about? Don't you mean copulate? Damned goats.
DeleteSince I already have begun planning my bathroom renovation, your 10,000 pounds would mean I'd not need to tap into my own savings but could really splash out on a posh walk-in shower, wall-mounted toilet and chic sink/basin (whatever you prefer to call it). Add proper dark grey slate tiling for the floors and dimmed white for the walls, a set of new fluffy towels and other accessories, and with the 63,45 pounds left I'd go out for a nice meal with O.K.
ReplyDeleteCould you also install a CCTV camera so that I could monitor your security?

ReplyDeleteDo you perchance sometimes see these two friends in mirrors?
DeleteApril Fool's joke? Ha! If not , then spend all the money traveling.
ReplyDeleteI might travel to Romania to see some of the vampires you have over there. I would wear a polo necked jumper and carry a silver cross.
DeleteYes, you are welcome! Let me speak with Dracula first! Ha!
