Tired of Hard Luck Stories?

 Just Listen to what happened to Liz, to Hannah, and to Jen, after they threw their hard earned cash away down a seemingly empty hole  


 Liz:  

Well, now, let me see....since the ninth of May, I bought a house with no hitches (or witches, which was lucky) and the vendor knocked the cost of a woodworm treatment off the price. And cleaned the house. The decorator 'just happened' (but, of course, it was sheer luck) to have one free week, which meant he could remove all the wallpaper (and I can paint) before I move in. AND (weird, this) he knows someone who can do the floors.

 
As luck would have it, my new garden has masses of raspberry canes and, luckily, it stopped raining long enough this afternoon for me to go and pick a bagful of fresh, ripe raspberries.
 
Last week, I 'just happened' to check the dipstick on my car (despite the gauge telling me there was plenty of oil) to discover that it was, in fact, utterly devoid of oil - and yet my car didn't explode or seize up, which was extremely lucky indeed (it really was!!).
 
The only lovely, floaty, hippy, silky, cheeseclothy shirt remaining, and tracked down in Bath by the shop assistant, was my size - so I bought it, as it was obviously meant to be.
 
I saw a red kite fly over my new home (which is pretty lucky in these parts), and a house martin poohed in my coffee, which is supposed to be sort of lucky, so I'm told. Last evening, after the rain, and under a brilliant rainbow, I heard a wood warbler warbling in the woods (where else?).
 
My beans, sweetcorn, courgettes and tomatoes are still alive; they haven't been eaten by slugs. Neither have I. 
 
I'm eating fresh raspberries as I write.
 
I could go on.....
 
....not bad for a tenner.   Follow Liz's example. Join the list of people who are getting LUCKY!

Hannah:

Do Wishing Wells Work? Well... Since Sponsoring 'The Well' Hannah Mulder says she's had an amazing run of GOOD LUCK: She remains Alive, has a brand new baby niece, the aphids stopped attacking her salads, she hadn't lost her Oyster card (after all), it was sunny ALL week in Wales (didn't rain once), she DIDN'T get stung by a weaver fish, & she has so many people she loves and... the vintage dress she tried on in 5 minutes flat for her friend's wedding only fitted her because the shop assistant had had the tiny 1950s waist taken out so that she could wear it for something before giving it back to the shop to sell on...to Hannah. Spooky! YOU too can get lucky. Wefund us!

 

 

 

Jen:

Jen Bridgeface, the pregnant temp, was despairing at washing dishes and catching a nasty cold off of distressed nursery children.  Her ex boss from the Council, needing a temp, saw her status update on facebook and offered her her old job back - right up until her due date!  Perfect timing or the luck of 'The Well'?
