Hi Silly Boy,

A parcel arrived this morning from Harper Collins Publishers with no explanation.

Turns out I must have won the Mail on Sunday Bare Bones Crossword prize of a large Collins Dictionary and also a Thesaurus worth £70.

Also this morning won a £25 M&S Voucher with Ford Motor Company.

They say that good fortunate comes in threes but the chap running the Euromillions Lottery tonight obviously hasn't heard of the expression !!!
