Here's an idea. I've received two emails this week telling me I've won enormous sums of money, and it got me thinking, I could count the amounts and see how much unreal money I can accumulate over a year or so. Then of course being of the modern age I decided to make a competition out of it. So dig into your "Deleted" folders, find the emails you quite correctly deleted without a moments thought, and swipe the relevant information. Then simply send it to me in a comment on this blog.
No sense forwarding the emails, that's just spamming the internet for no good reason.
I'll keep score and we'll see who is "Richest" next November 5th. Winner pays for the fireworks, with real money of course.
My two this week were:

By the way, Lynny, happy anniversary. Yes folks, myself and the glorious ginger one met on this day in 1990. (She was brunette then though) - Which leads me onto another topic - poetry. Hmmm, I might just post some verse, see how it goes.
