    Just share something that luck had to do with.

    For me, I won a competition for a freezer and a couple days later my current freezer took it as an insult and died :D

    Ah I miss the days of actually having cash. How in the hell did you miss €200 and not notice though shesh!

    Won €50 on the Prize Bonds a couple of weeks ago.

    I really view this as interest rather than winnings, though!

    Went out for a walk and found a random bottle of men's cologne. Brought it home, cleaned it off and decided to google the brand. Turns out it's about $170 CAD a bottle!

    Lockdown has occurred at my least favourite time of year thus my least favourite time of year is not happening in it's full gluttonous garish glory for once in my life. Lucky eh.

    I'd double check that there's no Russian exiles in your neighbourhood before I declare that find as good luck.

    I've used the spray a few times now to no ill effect. I think I'm safe but cheers for the heads up!

    Bought a €1 scratch card and won €10 so I then bought another €1 scratch card and won €5 and bought another €1 scratch card and won another €10 so I spent €3 and won €25 :D

    I’ve also played the euro millions for tomorrow night :D

    Lost my passport.
    Panicked.
    Realised I wouldn't be needing it any time soon.
    Stopped panicking.
    Found it!

    Went for a walk one morning while it was looking like it might rain.

    It didn't.

    Sometimes I wonder how I cope on this thrill ride we call life.

    Made up so I was.

    Maybe your luck would have changed if you had someone holding the ladder.

    Which reminds me of this, from comedian Michael Redmond:

    "Ever notice how nervous people get when you follow them up a ladder?"

    Carry on.
