    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

    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!

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

    :eek: That's pretty mental!

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

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

    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.

    About 2 weeks ago I was cleaning the gutters and the ladder slid back about 30cm before coming to a stop on the edge of a patio tile.

    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.
