I can't help but feel that it's fate. As we tried to get to Oz a few years back, but couldn't get the points, then Trish (Mum's cousin) wrote but the letter didn't come until a week after Mum died. Then to top it all off we got an e-mail from one of the Agents a few weeks after that.
I swear my Mum made it all happen.
And to top it off, I won £1000 at bingo the day before her funeral, then £600 the week after
I'll look out for that, if the OH will let me watch it

Cheers my dears,
Hope you feel better soon. Still can't get too excited about the house just in case. I think until the money's in the bank then I'll stay a wee bit subdued!
