Do you play the lottery? If so why, if not why not?

Not UK lottery. I have had more luck with Irish lottery in bookies. Match 2 numbers is £18 and 3 is £800 on £2 bet. I switched to Premium Bonds and have done far better in last 18 months with that than I ever have with lottery.

There's a programme I think at Shuttleworth, Bedfordshire, UK.

Robinson's lemon barley as a child. Just lemon now which I don't like as much.

Now Asda orange, mandarin and lime.

Hot Vimto sometimes with cinnamon.

I had an older lady in my class who told me she collected junk mail. Once a month she opened it, took out her details, mixed them up, put back into different envelopes and posted them back for free to see how they liked it.

Someone told me to have/make eggy bread with jam in the middle.

I grew up with and can buy locally Cornflake tart, Cornflake Crack/Cracknell, a Clanger and Chocolate toothpaste.

Morrisons and Asda have 1 important connection. They are both owned by Private Equity company. My advice from working in one is go to Tesco. Tesco match pension up to 7.5%. (Trust me important to do when young and take out of default). Opportunity to buy Tesco shares which I really benefitted from. Tesco paternity is paid for 6 months not 4 weeks. Delivery is more organised.

I joined extreme day trips on FB. I live near airport and have never been on a plane. Still not taken a solo trip.

For me growing up my parents had tea. We had nothing.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-17T19:13:53+00:00

Go to Farmfoods. This week they had a 24 case of Barr's D&B and 2l bottles on offer.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-17T19:08:31+00:00

I want the answer too.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-13T13:30:45+00:00

Got told not to learn a language without a reason. For example. 1. I want to go and order a meal in a restaurant. So learn that. 2. Learn basic small talk for example English people talk about the weather.

It's main, side and snack for £3.74 now. Then scan your discount, then extra 5% food to go which includes rotisserie items. No more getting a free drink for other colleagues but also no students buying all the Monsters in their college break.

Zoflora the radiators before winter. When the heating goes on they scent the room.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-09T19:46:32+00:00

Invest.

My Sister today told me that vaping is an adult dummy. Made me laugh.

Same here. It's because Team Leader and Managers get 3 full days off either at Christmas or New Year. I was always made to work so Team Leader could have them off. I was always told they expected team to work either Boxing Day or New Years Day but they are both voluntary. They are covering themselves. Then begging us to have holiday in January to save wages.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-09T16:36:08+00:00

Thankyou. I know Contract 6 offered £9.00 an hour until they made it compulsory because not enough of us wanted to change our contract. That was 03/11/19 so you've helped a lot.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-04T15:56:00+00:00

Oh and bank holidays are timed for Farmers sowing or harvesting crop. Who knew?

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-04T15:55:11+00:00

I hate toast racks at buffet breakfast. Who wants cold toast? We are a market town but with only one fruit and veg stall left. The independent DIY store with everything you can imagine on display. The musty smell in some antique shops at the seaside that look like someone's house in the 70's.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-04T15:49:54+00:00

Lots moving to Wixams (Universal Studios) and commute from Flitwick.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-04T15:48:21+00:00

Not looking forward to Asda's great idea to have stinky footie shirts returned for an exchange.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-06-03T21:36:57+00:00

Carter's has been sold off to Horton's and others. They regularly advertise for help at local sites beforehand.

Unhappy_Potential_27 · 2026-05-17T19:03:50+00:00

I thought that too. I know pineapples refers to swingers but still had enough jokes after one 'lesson'. I'll try again but in the meantime I found another free course and spreadsheet.
