I have a bad habit

Technically I have several but I think we'll limit this to just mentioning one of them.

I have a habit of occasionally buying lottery tickets, putting them somewhere, and then forgetting all about them. I get told off by people now and again when I mention this as they seem to think that I could be one of the people who has a prize that doesn't get claimed.

This is entirely possible I suppose but I don't feel too bad about it as it's unlikely that those tickets have won anything (just because I occasionally buy lottery tickets does not mean I do not know exactly how unlikely it is that I'll ever win anything of note) and even if they have I can't know about it and the money goes to charities anyway. So maybe my lack of attention is making the world a better place.

Sometimes I think that I would be better placed using an ability to produce structured arguments might better serve me if I used it to actually get something done rather than producing arguments as to why doing nothing was actually a good idea but what the heck.

Anyhoo, the whole point of this post is that I checked some lottery tickets that I had lying around from the last few months and it turns out that I have a couple of winners in there, oh yeah.

What this means is that my partner and I are now sevenpoundsfiftypenceaires!

Living the dream over here. Living the dream.
