dumb luck
walking home from my parents' house last year, i spied in the road a shiny treasure: a pound coin. i was skint and in need of milk for my cuppa, so this was rather good.
"that's lucky" i thought to myself.
then the little voice in my head spoke up. "what if it really IS lucky? sure, you could waste your lucky pound on that milk, or you could buy a scratchcard and see just how far your luck will stretch."
i mulled this over as i walked to the shop, deciding just outside the door that the milk was more important.
that didn't stop me from spending that pound on a bloody scratchcard though, did it?
i'm so glad i listened to that little voice, i won £100 on that scratchcard!
